Materials used: For recreational use, choose plastic bocce balls, as they are light and safe enough to be carried by your children. If you are an intermediate player, get wooden bocce balls. They are tougher and able to withstand outdoor bocce playing on the grass. Choose high density polymer bocce balls if you are engaged in serious or professional bocce playing.
Diameter: Choose 115-millimeter-diameter bocce balls for professional games. If you want to teach your children how to play the game, get 84-millimeter-diameter bocce balls or smaller.
Regulation sizes: Choose bocce balls that follow the standards of organizations like the International Bocce Association. Standard diameters should be observed during professional games and tournaments.
Ball color: Choose bocce balls that come in at least two colors. This allows you to distinguish between different team players, making it easier for you to tally scores. You can get striped bocce balls if you want a different look.
Cases: Choose molded plastic cases to store your expensive wooden and polymer bocce balls. If you frequently use your plastic bocce balls outdoors, get a lightweight yet waterproof plastic carrying case.
