In general, as gases warm up or increase in temperature, they expand.
As the ball warms up from undergoing a 'hit-up', the gas inside the ball expands, thus exerting a greater pressure outwards against the inner walls of the ball ... so that when the ball is hit by a hard object, it does not depress to the same degree as when the gas is exerting less inside pressure against its walls, as when cool.
Hence the ball recoils quicker and sooner - back to its pre-contact shape and therefore bounces or deflects off the racquet with more speed and force.

Why do some balls bounce more than others?
they consist of a lighter material
Do bigger balls bounce higher than small balls?
small balls will bounce higher because they have closer particles
Why do small rubber bouncy balls bounce higher than other balls?
because they are made to bounce
Why do glass balls bounce higher than rubber balls?
They don't.
Why do small balls bounce higher than big balls?
Bouncing is a function of the elastic qualities of the ball, due to its composition. But it takes more energy to "manually bounce" a large ball because the person bouncing it is supplying the initial force (rather than just gravity). It is easier for a person to apply a large force to a lighter, smaller ball to make it bounce higher.
Does a tennis ball bounce higher when it is warmer or colder?
Hot. Personal experiments have shown that temperatures below 25°C make the ball bounce less. From 25°C and upwards there aren't any greater changes in height of bounce. The balls bounce almost the same.
Why do smaller bouncy balls bounce higher than larger bouncy balls?
Because the contrast of the balls' size as opposed to the surface it bounces off of.
Why do your heavy and light balls not bounce higher than your bouncy ball?
because light ball have more air in them so they bounce higher
Does a soccer ball bounce higher then a basketball?
Soccer balls. It would depend how high they came down from. As soccer balls are kicked high into the air, they probably bounce higher than basketballs which are just thrown.
Why do balls bounce more on harder surfaces?
The softer surfaces take up more of the balls energy than is released into a hard surface.
How quickly do tennis balls lose their bounce?
Tennis balls bounce because the air pressure inside is higher than the outside pressure. They begin to lose bounce as soon as removed from their pressure can. The alititude where the ball is played will affect the bounce. As they are played, they lose more bounce. Typically, they lose too much bounce to play after about 3 sets of recreational (amateur) tennis, or 8 games of professional tennis.
When balloons are filled with this they are lighter than air.?
Hot air, hydrogen or helium are lighter than cold air.
