My neighbor plays tennis every day. He never uses a ball for two days. Once the can is opened, they all go into a bag at the end of the day.

My children have two dogs and even they can not chew up tennis balls fast enough to keep up with available tennis balls.

Using tennis balls is like owning a TM. It causes people to ask "What's that?"

I believe I read somewhere that at least some trailer ball grease has some clay in it. Not sure if that is true and not sure why it would be added.

Because tennis is played on clay courts?

I got tired of grease on my jeans and grease on the dogs and we got a hitch ball similar to this:

Default Greaseless ball

These are great. Even with the cover I would get grease on me somehow.
