So i have a house with a lot of windows and i can't shoot with regular balls anymore because my bro broke a window while playing. I like putting my net up against my garage door and shooting with tennis balls. i was wondering if there will be a difference in my shot with a regular lax ball instead of tennis balls

there is definite difference because a tennis ball is bigger and way way lighter. It would be the opposite of what you want. the best way not to break windows is to not miss...haha jk. really the only thing that i could suggest is to maybe take your goal somewhere else or shoot in another direction

u ever heard of "pinkys"---they are specifically made for your problem. they are softer than lax balls but the same size and they arent EXTREMELY light like a tennis ball. i dont THINK they would break a window. i know this place lacrosse unlimited near me sells them, but they might not around u. i use real balls a lot and i put a big hole in my new white fence...haha. shooting with a tennis ball is very different and i find it to be uncomfortable cause your shot seems slower and it is different accuracy--but hey, tennis ball is better than no ball.

if you cant get any pinks you caould always cut a slit in your tennis ball, and fill it with pennies. If you fill it just right it shoots and feels like a lacrosse ball. Its still kinda bouncy too so less chance of a broken window. btw i put a hole in my shed with a real ball, not fun :(
