It's either a sweetgum or a sycamore. If the leaves are really big and the tree's bark is gray and smooth-ish, it's the latter. If not, it's the former.

Possibly Sycamore

There is a big difference in both the sweetgum and the sycamore. The trunk of the sweetgum is gray and is grooved and the sycamore trunk is smooth and mottled beige and tan color. The leaves are somewhat different too. Check out the links to see the difference..... http://www.sfrc.ufl.edu/4h/Sweetgum/sweetgum.htm

It sounds like a sweet gum. If the bark is rough its a sweet gum. Kind of hard to describe with out pics. The trunk on most sweet gums is usually strait and the limbs small until they have been there for several years.

Sounds like a Liquidamber, they have round ball seed pods covered in spikes.

More information, please? How tall is it? Does it flower? What color are these round poky spiky balls? What do the leaves look like? What is your climate like?

Could be a "BUCKEYE" tree.
