I can get an offcut of rubber conveyor belt, about 5mm thick reinforced 3 ply, that should make a good strong gasket.
What size do we want ?

I think some crosshairs on the base of the tube would be good to stop the tennis ball going into the chamber.

That conveyor belt rubber make brilliant sound deadening in cars.  I had my old series Land Rover decked out with the stuff.

Bloody 'eavy though, it's the density that absorbs the sound.

For the gasket 8" x 8" would be ideal as for the crosshairs a single 8mm nut and bolt should suffice unless the tennis ball
is an interference fit in the pipe then it could loaded via the chamber prior to inserting the charge.

8 x 8 it is then.

We'll have to draw straws to see WHICH the poor unlucky sod has the pleasure of greasing YOUR balls.

Not something I'd want to be involved in.
