Inertial mass is equivalent to gravitational mass.
Therefore, mass does not change with velocity.

If you had anything on the ball or anything to bring to the table you
could have offered this argument given by Van Flandern:
"The Einstein Hoax" book p.306= "SR establishes that kinetic energy
possesses inertial mass"; "Since the ratio of gravitational mass to
inertial mass of various materials has been found to be identical to a
high degree of accuracy, it is to be expected that kinetic energy which
is bound to matter will be affected by the gravitational field to the
same degree as is the energy associated with the rest mass. This
conclusion follows from the fact that different portions of the rest
mass of various materals consists of the mass imposed by kinetic energy.
This kinetic energy is contained, for example, in the kinetic energy of
electrons in their orbits, the thermal motion of atoms, and perhaps in
the resonance states of nuclear particles."
This argument fails because mass does not vary in different
gravitational fields.
