Women’s basketball should now stop using a basketball that’s about 2/3rds the size of a men’s ball. Unless they want to shoot at a smaller rim, of course.

I think tennis is just a racket.

Wow, I didn't realize they were different size. Men's college and high school uses the same size basketball. I'm pretty sure that was the same size we used in middle school.

HOW DARE YOU SAY that the women want to play with the men’s balls !!!

I’ll bite.
These days the “women” look like they already have the men’s balls...

I learn something new every day. Now I find out that women’s balls are lighter than men’s balls.

What's the problem? This one has two.

No need to watch ball sports. I got my own to play with.

I do not care about the ten-nis balls used in women’s matches as long as they are not used by two-nis balled players.

I thought some of those women had the same balls. I had no idea they were playing with different balls. Who knew?

At the college level, the difference is only 1 or 2 inches as I recall..maybe the difference is more pronounced at younger levels?
The Duke women were using a men’s ball — they didn’t notice the difference until near the end of the game. Duke’s coach protested while not admitting the ball was the same size for both teams.
