Tightly wrapped up cloth with feathers in the middle is what they used when the game was started.

Actually rubber was "discovered" before tennis balls were in use...It just took a while to figure out that it was the best thing to use to make them!

rubber's not so much an invention as it is a discovery. comes from trees ya know. we've had rubber for a while now. but when i was a kid we didn't have rubbe r tennis balls so grampa gave us some old grenades from the war. i really miss grampa.
