However, because they are more difficult to sling tennis balls are very useful for training. To make a long story short, if you can learn to sling tennis balls accurately slinging stones accurately will become easier.

My new tapered sling's also throwing them pretty well. Stones are definitely more satisfying though no doubt there. I just love how they fly, can't really achieve that same feeling with tennis balls .

Tennis balls not satisfying?!
I think you might be doing something wrong.

“My final hour is at hand. We face an enemy more numerous and cunning than the world has yet seen. Remember your training, and do not fear the hordes of Judas. I, without sin, shall cast the first stone. That will be your sign to attack! But you shall not fight this unholy enemy with stones. No! RAZOR GLANDES! Aim for the eyes! May the Lord have mercy, for we shall show none!“ -Jesus the Noodler

If you can get a good backspin on them they will fly surprisingly far.
