I don't believe there's any correct terminology. I think people know what you mean when you say fuzz.

Does fuzz on a tennis ball effect how it bounces?
course it does
How would you conduct an experiment on tennis ball fuzz?
You could use the hook section of Velcro and tear the fuzz up on one ball and conduct spin and bounce comparisons with a regular ball.
Why does a tennis ball have fuzz?
They have fuzz on them so the air the ball is traveling through can grip the ball to enhance the spin on the ball. ex. To move it farther (backspin) or to make it drop (topspin) or to make it curve to the side (sidespin). The fuzz also allows the ball to have better interaction with the surface, the air and the racquet. As the ball speed increases the fuzz filaments lay down on the ball and the fuzz drag declines. The tennis ball cover is rough but not like sandpaper. Looking closely at the felt you can see that air flows through those raised fabric filaments - better known as fuzz. So the surface of a tennis ball is a "porous surface." It's more like dealing with the wind blowing through leaves on a tree and just as complicated. The fuzz filaments act like tiny cylinders each having their own drag component. In addition to the skin friction drag from the cover itself, drag is created from the airflow over these fuzz fibers interacting with all the other fibers behind it.
What do you put in a baby mouses cage?
My baby mouse has a tennis ball cut in half and a whole cut out so he can get out and some fuzz from a stuffed animal. I put the tennis ball on the fuzz. He might burrow in it so don't worry if you don't see him.
Is a lacrosse ball waterproof?
Water doesn't enter any tennis ball that's in good condition and hasn't been punctured, so in that sense, every undamaged tennis ball is waterproof. But the fuzz on the outside can sure get soaked. I have made a waterproof tennis ball that makes even the fuzz keep dry. It is pure awesome.
What effect does the nap felt-yellow fuzz have on how high a tennis ball will bounce?
The more fuzz, the less bounce. The less fuzzy, the higher the bounce.
Which brand of tennis ball has the least amount of fuzz on their tennis balls?
It's a tie between Wilson U.S. Open or Penn. Either is sure to cut down on fuzz. But the Wilson's get worn out easily but are ah-mazing balls when they're alive!
Why rabbits tail is called a bob?
it look like a fuzz ball
Why is a tennis ball furry?
The fuzz increases the drag of ai over the surface allowing the spin imparted on the ball by the player to translate into motion in the direction of the spin. Hence you can hit a curve ball.
What is the action called when you hit a tennis ball?
It is called a swing.
What is the forward rotation put on a tennis ball called?
Its called Topspin.
How does the fuzziness of tennis ball affect the friction of the tennis ball?
The fuzziness of the ball gets grip from the surface and the felt rubs the surface of the court and thus causes friction. The denser the felt, the more friction and grip. The fuzz helps improve the friction, which makes spin more important in a match. It makes the ball slower, and in turn the rallies will be slower. This is why in most ATP tennis tournaments, the balls are changed every seven to nine games.
