Somewhere between 150 and 160, depending on the tennis balls. Hope this helps

Edit: Additionally, that's about 63½ European swallows, assuming an average weight of 5 ounces. Given that a European swallow must beat its wings 43 times per second to maintain airspeed velocity, it'd be a proper racket.

Tap for spoilerThose numbers are from monty python and the holy grail and are very wrong. I am spreading misinformation online.

    And if it's an African swallow?

    Not covered in the film and I refuse to get my information anywhere other than Monty Python. The mass of an african swallow is therefore unknowable.
