Why are tennis balls fuzzy? So they...
A) feel like a hug.
B) don't go too fast or bounce too far.
C) don't scratch the court.
Tennis balls are made of rubber. Without a felt covering, they would bounce too far and move too fast. The fuzz creates drag in the air and friction against the racket or court.
