I'm conducting an informal survery. If you had to pick between yellow or green as the color of a tennis ball, which would you choose? I realize that it's probably a mix, but which is it closer to?

Yellow or maybe yellowish green. It's easier for the human eye to see.

I've never understood how people play tennis on grass. How do they get the ball to bounce?

It's green. Those women's softballs are yellow.

I think it was originally played on grass [lawn tennis] before hard courts were invented.
They bounce ok -- watch Wimbledon.

The grass is actually grown on top of plywood or some kind of wood. It's layered with dirt so the grass can grow, or at least won't get destroyed when ran on, so the ball can still bounce.
