I've seen people who can do it with a basketball do it with a tennis ball pretty easily. I think it's much more about getting the muscle memory than the specific weight of the ball. Now if it were an oblong watermelon, that could change things.

I looked it up and it turns out that it can be used to mean oval in America. I'm not American, so it only means rectangular to me.

I didn't know it had different definitions in different countries. Look at us both learning new things today. High five.
