Possibly you could heat it in a bath of water which would heat the gas inside increasing the pressure. direct flame or heat would be a bad idea given the flammability of cellulose

Placing a dented table tennis ball in boiling water causes the air inside the ball to expand, pushing out the dent and restoring the ball's shape. The heat softens the plastic material of the ball, allowing it to return to its original state. Once the ball cools down, it retains its new shape.
The air inside expands when heated, and increases the interior pressure. Unless a ball is so badly crushed that it cannot become round again, the dented part will be pushed out to create its original shape.
Placing a dented tennis ball in boiling water causes the air inside to expand, pushing out against the dent and restoring its shape. The heat softens the rubber on the ball, making it more malleable and allowing it to regain its original form when the pressure is released.
The hot water causes the air trapped inside the ball to expand and it may pop the dent out to the original shape.
Weigh it down some how in water and boil the water,or you may also use the butt of a racket and round the ball back up
To restore warped wood to its original shape and condition, you can try using a combination of moisture and heat. Place a damp cloth over the warped area and then apply heat using an iron on a low setting. This can help the wood to absorb moisture and expand back to its original shape. Be sure to apply pressure evenly and gradually to avoid causing further damage.
To effectively unwarp wood and restore its original shape and integrity, you can try using a combination of moisture and heat. Place the warped wood in a damp environment or use a damp cloth to moisten the wood. Then, apply heat using a heat gun or an iron to help the wood regain its original shape. Clamp the wood in place while it dries to maintain its shape. Repeat the process if necessary until the wood is straightened.
Metal when it gets hit, stays dented and looks terrible. Plastic either breaks or bounces back to original shape, thus defeating vandals' efforts. Plastics are probably cheaper to produ

To effectively fix warped wood and restore its original shape and integrity, you can try using moisture and heat to help the wood regain its natural form. One method is to dampen the warped wood and then apply heat evenly to help it straighten out. Another option is to use clamps or weights to hold the wood in place while it dries. Sanding and refinishing the wood after it has been straightened can also help restore its appearance and strength.
there is air inside a tennis ball. when it is hot, the air inside the ball is hot, and thus is excited. when the gas is excited it bounces around more inside the ball and causes it to be harder. when it is colder the gas is less excited so the ball feels softer. When you bounce a tennis ball on a hot day the ball is harder feeling and is essentially more elastic. this causes the ball to bounce higher. when it is colder the ball is less elastic and will not bounce up very high at all. think about the moment the ball hits the ground. if you threw it super hard the ball would momentarily get dented in. now if its hot the gas is excited and moving around a lot so it will push the dented in ball back out to its original shape very fast, where as if it is cold it will not push it back out as fast or hard so it will not bounce as high.
