To give it traction when it hits the court. The fuzz works like tread on a tire to keep the ball from sliding on the court. It improves the bounce which translates to an improved ability to aim the ball and have it go where you want it to go. The "fuzz" also dampens the bounce so the ball does not bounce as far. If you have ever played racquet ball than you know a ball without fuzz bounces like crazy, which is what you want in racquet ball where you are playing inside an enclosed court. If a tennis ball was like a racquet ball you would be leaving the tennis court to chase your balls a lot more often. I might add that this technology has not improved MY game!

So the mesh of the the racket can grip the ball rather than the natural return being distorted by sliding across the face of the racket. It also helps to control the ball with spin.

It slows down the ball and also allows you to "bend" the ball trajectory. Go shave a ball and see how much faster the pace is.

It has everything to do with shot trajectory and spin control. It has nothing to do with traction on the court.

so it bounces better and wont hurt if it hits you in the crouch.
