Tennis Ball

The Tennis Ball is a throwable object that can be found in The Forest.

Gameplay
They can be used as a distraction and eventually as an incendiary projectile.

When thrown, it will distract any cannibals around the area it lands, and will immediately alert a cannibal if the ball directly hits it. They can also be lit using the lighter, and thrown directly at enemies to cause burning damage. However, igniting a Tennis Ball will also cause instant burning damage to the player.

The Tennis Ball cannot be placed into the player's inventory and must be carried one at a time.

Fire Mutants use Tennis Balls as incendiary projectiles to attack the player's base.

Location
They are usually found near mutilated tennis player's bodies. The greatest concentration of Tennis Balls can be found in the main cannibal village. They are also commonly found in locked suitcases.

A few Tennis Balls can be found in the same area where the Tennis Racket is found.

Known Bugs
When picking up a tennis ball, it might glitch out, leaving you unable to drop the ball/throw it. It blocks the access to the survival book and many other things, you can't use a bow, etc.
