Better yet, stand about 3-5 feet from a wall facing it, have a buddy stand behind you and throw tennis balls off the wall and you have to react quicker.

theres also now obscured shaped 'balls' that don't bounce straight off a wall, so you can throw it yourself, and you react to where it actually goes... (in case they haven't installed buddies in your town yet either)

If you were referring to my post by that... Hi, my name is Kristyn. I'm a 19 year old female with boobs and a vagina. Don't call me "man". I'm cool with the term guys when used to referring to everyone on here... but direct it at me, make sure you get the sex right. Thanks.

Efe/Otter - my sister has that Sparq ball. Works really well.

Another option besides a tennis ball would be a lacrosse ball. It's much heavier and bounces much faster. Any large brick wall works, a concrete tennis wall is even better.
