But yes, TRO, clubs buy balls in their thousands (there's a line item on the AGM report about how many we got through last year, but it's too dull to dig out right now). As soon as they stop looking 'new', they are discarded. I genuinely don't know where they go. I'm hoping it's charity rather than landfill.
Angus Clydesdale Jan 2020 12:56pm, 15 Jan 2020 16,482 posts	Quote Pin Angus Clydesdale Our local tennis club gave us a load of “old” tennis balls for the Scouts to use last year. We offered to buy them but the club coach wouldn’t hear of it.

fraggle Jan 2020 1:03pm, 15 Jan 2020 2,104 posts	Quote Pin fraggle I was going to suggest donating them to a school - we do experiments with ‘bouncy balls’ but then that might have led me to ask Greppers how bouncy his balls were

LazyDaisy Jan 2020 2:14pm, 15 Jan 2020 28,915 posts	Quote Pin LazyDaisy I will add a much-needed wholesome comment to this load of old balls: my friend June keeps my dog supplied with tubes and tubes of (hardly) worn-out balls. You could say they are the dog's b****cks. At least, you could if she were a male dog.
