    Would it not be easier to just go out and purchase another ping pong ball????????

    If the pipe is capped at the bottom, fill the water bottle and pour the water in the pipe, the ball will float to the top.

    One foot?  Go to the "Rent a Kid" store!

    Do you really need to ? why don't you save yourself the trouble of trying to get the ping pong ball out  and just buy another one .
