Tennis Ball World Records

Raz, a border collie, and Lily, a golden retriever, share one long stick in a park in Melbourne, Australia: Lily lies on the grass with one end in her mouth while Raz picks up the stick near the other end. With the stick held level between them, Raz works a tennis ball between his front paws and kicks it away. Checked frame by frame, the video shows his 3 kicks while both dogs keep hold of the stick. Lily does her half of the job without getting up.

Raz, a border collie puppy, trots down a hallway with polished wooden floors in Melbourne, Australia, a tennis ball already in his mouth, as a second ball is rolled toward him. He stops it with one front paw and passes it straight to the other, sending it rolling back the way it came, all in a fraction of a second, checked frame by frame in one continuous, unedited clip. His owner gives his birth date as February 7, 2021, which made him 4 months and 2 days old when the clip was filmed on June 9, 2021. Most puppies that age are still chasing the ball; Raz was already passing it.

Jose Manuel Martin Molina stands on the front pegs of his red BMX in an underground parking garage in Ayamonte, Spain, and keeps a tennis ball bouncing on a tennis racquet 360 times without putting a foot down. The bike stays put with its front wheel turned sideways, so all the balance comes from small shifts of his body while his racquet hand keeps the ball going about every 0.37 seconds. The video is one continuous take with roughly two minutes and 15 seconds of bouncing, and RecordSetter's own count from the footage and the sound of each hit came out right around his 360. Think of it as a track stand and a tennis warm-up at the same time.

Jose Manuel Martin Molina of Ayamonte, Spain bounces a tennis ball on his racquet 106 times in a row while hopping on a pogo stick in an underground parking garage. He keeps one hand on the pogo stick and the racquet in the other, and the ball never touches the ground until he ends the run with a big overhead swing. RecordSetter tracked the ball through the single 55 second take, which has no cuts, and our count lined up with his 106. Two kinds of bounce, one steady rhythm.

Danail Parvanov balanced a tennis ball on the instep of one foot for 4 minutes and 1 second while standing on the other, filmed in Sofia, Bulgaria. Keeping a ball that small steady on a surface that narrow means the standing leg absorbs every micro-adjustment for the full duration. RecordSetter verified the video as a single fixed-camera take with an on-screen clock running past 4:00 without a break.
