@feudallordcult @feudallordcult This was the teleball - a special ball constructed with dimples filled with reflecting pieces of glass fibre. Shining a very strong spotlight from behind the court showed this ball on the TV screen as an almost slow motion object. The major problem was that the press photographers complained that they couldn't use their cameras through the front wall (to take face pics during play) into the strong light beam.
