Graham.If only there was a tool made specifically for this purpose...
bdarb207I don't see how a snake would get a tennis ball out. If that's what you were implying anyway.
proZachyou mean a fucking plunger?
a_pla5tic_bagCare to explain how you got a tennis ball in the toilet?
Huck_NorrisTreat it like an unplanned pregnancy in the jungle. Stab the problem to poke a hole in it, then use a coat hanger to stick in the hole and drag the issue out where the dog can play with it.

Dr.LaurentUse the strong facial muscles you acquired over all the years of orally stimulating male genitalia in the back alley behind the local KFC to suck that badboy straight out.
SFBjust mix bleach and ammonia in your toilet, it will probably take care of the tennis ball.
soulskierGet a pressure washer and shove it down the shitter as far as you can, if a pressure washer can't force it down...nothing can
Barefootin_Fienddon't try and dissolve the fucking thing. anything that will dissolve a tennis ball will likely also destroy your pvc plumbing.
basically, you're taking your toilet apart. hang ass crack out of pants, turn water off, empty toilet, unbolt/cut if necessary the bolt on each side of toilet, break wax seal, remove toilet, scrape off wax from bottom of toilet and top of sewer line, remove tennis ball, replace wax seal (5 bucks at hardware store), replace toilet bolts (2 bucks), reattach, turn water back on, test flush, admire you amazing plumbing skills.
It should seriously only take like an hour to fix if you go to the hardware store first and get the replacement wax seal and bolts. The worst part is cleaning off the old wax seal once you remove the toilet . You need to get all of the old wax off so your new wax seal makes a proper seal. Otherwise you'll get fumes coming up in to your bathroom from the sewer line.

theBearJewThere's a few ways you can go for this.
Lower your good friend from the group club house with a pulley system. Make sure that when he grabs it he doesn't drop it because he gets scared.
If he does drop it, rig up a bunch of vacuum to a baseball glove and lower that down. Try not to get the pipe pinched because if that happens your club house is gonna blow up.
Lets say your club house just blew up? Gather all of your erector set pieces and build a mechanical catapult, drive it down from your club house into the toilet, then once you have the ball in the catapult, launch. Ideally the toilet won't jump up and eat the ball again.
If the toilet manages to eat your ball again... Get our your PF Fliers... and pickle the toilet.
