From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A ball is a round object with various uses. It is usually spherical but can be ovoid. It is used in ball games, where the play of the game follows the state of the ball as it is hit, kicked or thrown by players. Balls can also be used for simpler activities, such as catch, marbles and juggling. Balls made from hard-wearing metal are used in engineering applications to provide very low friction bearings, known as ball bearings. Although many types of balls are today made from rubber, this form was unknown outside the Americas until after the voyages of Columbus. The Spanish were the first Europeans to see bouncing rubber balls (albeit solid and not inflated) which were employed most notably in the Mesoamerican ballgame. Balls used in various sports in other parts of the world prior to Columbus were made from other materials such as animal bladders or skins, stuffed with various materials. From Wikipedia under the

Q. My son is 10 years old and he likes bowling.He plays with the lightest ball he can find (usually 8lbs) He has hard time controlling it. Do you recommend a lighter ball until he is comfortable throwing or it is better to start with a heavier ball? Asked by Magica De Spell - Wed Dec 10 21:34:19 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. definitely a lighter ball. You should go ask for 6 pound bowling ball because the employees keep them in the back. If you're son likes bowling i think he should join a league, ask the youth director...I remember starting a league, I fell in love w/ bowling and now I can't believe I average over 200 in league. good luck!

Although hard to believe, I compete in Professional MIni Golf tournaments around the country and was wondering what type of ball would perform best on the green (min golf course lol). I seem to like balls with a lower compression (Maxfli Noodle, Volvik Crystal) yet after reading up on the design of golf balls, I am not sure that this is the right decision. What type of balls (compression, three piece two piece etc.) would help increase my performance. Asked by Dan W - Sat Jul 19 11:22:52 2008 - - 6 Answers - 2 Comments A. hi. good question. but i think it would be wrong for people to recommend a specific type of a golf ball for you. the matter of fact is, in order to putt at your best, you need to depend on two things. feel and sound. maxfli noodle will feel smoother and a sound thats well... soft? and if you try any of the top flight golf balls, then you will find that it feels hard at impact and the noise it makes is a little louder. the bottomline is, EVERY golf balls feel and sound different. and the conclusion is that EVERY people have their preferences. phil mickelson said he changed his ball from titleist to callaway because he changed his putter. his putter was not very responsive to the contact so he wanted a ball that would make a louder… [cont.] Answered by stan da manly man the one u want - Sun Jul 20 01:47:57 2008 How is ball flight and landing spot of a tennis ball determined in the player challenge replays shown on TV?
Q. During a tennis match on TV, when a player challenges a line call, a computer generated video is used to determine exactly where the ball landed. It appears to be very accurate, as they show millimeters on or off the line. How does it work? Asked by Cap'n C - Wed Sep 5 21:32:57 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. i believe its called the hawk eye camera system. it was first used for cricket games then modified to tennis matches. its has numerous cameras around the cart similar to security cameras and then it determines the landing spot by the angle stricken and power and i think im missing something else but yeah.
