Default Cutting into a tennis ball

Need to cut an 1.5" X into 96 tennis balls. (To attach to classroom
chair legs, if you must know ;-)
So far, a box cutter is not getting it done, neither a small "cutting"
wheel from a dremel kit
Best so far is with ball held in a vise, and using a miter box saw to
cut 2 1.5" slits in ball to form X. But this is a bit tedious for 96 x 2
cuts.
Thought of a table saw, but fingers would be too close to blade for my
comfort
Tried looking for a dremel type cutter that would go in a drill motor,
but haven't seen anything I want to pay for if it does not work any
better than miter saw.
Any suggestions ??


Shop scissors / snips.
Once the center hole is poked - 4 easy snips.
... or am I missing soemthing ?
