Tennis balls without wool felt

Tennis balls usually contain some amount of wool in the felt. The following are responses to inquiries I made to companies about the felt composition.

Gamma sells non-pressurized practice balls without felt. The other major ball manufacturers I contacted sell only foam training balls or palls suitable for padel.

I strongly encourage you to make your own inquiries corroborating the following and asking more fine-grained questions about whether the balls are vegan. Please let me know if you hear something different!

Yes — Selling fully synthetic felt tennis balls

Gamma — Results of two different inquiries.
