    This tennis player may need to use a little less force on her hits.

    Poor ball indeed.  😮 With such strength and her racket, she could make french fries with potatoes… ;D

    Yeah, I should have done some cheese grater effect instead of the split in half one.

    Looks good to me. Tennis balls have seams, don't they?

    Tennis balls are made to look like they have baseball type seams, but they are pretty much rubber with some wool-like exterior to match the way older balls were made.  (rolled up strings rapped in wool.)  At least that's what Wikipedia says.

    Anyway Here's another one:

    Nice pic as well. Looks like the racket's strings failed on that one. Looking at the size of her arms reminds me of a story I heard years ago of a professional woman tennis player who had a grip so strong she could burst a tennis ball in her hand. I was intrigued at this, so I placed a brand new Wilson ball in a 15 ton press and commenced to putting it under pressure. I stopped after the gauge read 3 tons. The ball was nearly flat and I was afraid it would burst and possibly cause rubber shrapnel. Needless to say, if the story was true then there must have been some trick the woman used to be able to accomplish such a feat.

    Now you gotta have one popping the cork out of a baseball or punting a football into orbit.
