I made one from a golf ball a while back. It's kind of fun, in an almost pathetic way- like playing raquetball alone.

An addition to the above listed drills, get a partner! I know, sometimes you don't have one. But I never had the patience to stand there and do ball work by myself.

But with a partner, someone starts off, extends or lunges to hit it (toward the other fencer) who retaliates in kind. It a heck of a lot harder to hit, and you can hit it moving toward or away from you. You can keep score, you can chat, you can try to hit it quick and fast so they can't hit it. But its fun!
