Stones are superior to tennis balls in almost every way. 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.

I think of it as shooting airsoft (tennis ball) or live firearms (lethal ammo)
You can hunt paper targets either way, but after a while of airsoft, you want the real thing now and again

I've tried out a lighter sling, indeed that's helped a lot so thanks to you all for suggesting it. 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.

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

Good stuff there!
Yeah when I sling them they never really seem to fly far or fast. Maybe I'm just hopeless haha

If you haven't tried them yet definitely give golf balls a try. If you can get a good backspin on them they will fly surprisingly far.
