Pokémon GO: 17 Things You Didn't Know You Could Do
14. Retrieve Missed Pokéballs

We've all been there, slowly losing patience as endless Pokéballs get flung in the direction of a Zubat that just.won't.stay.STILL.
There are rumours flying around that Niantic actually make the Pokéballs miss every now and then to encourage you into eventually buying more, but a better way is to simply retrieve them instead.
Now, because your inventory, everything in it and which Pokémon you're capturing are server-tracked from the developer's San Francisco HQ, this sometimes doesn't register, but after throwing and missing with a Pokéball, just tap on it after it lands to pick the ball back up again.
Simple!
