Lacrosse balls are slightly smaller than baseballs, measuring between 7.75 to 8 inches in diameter and weighing between 5 to 5.25 ounces. Most lacrosse balls are made of India rubber.
Wooden lacrosse balls are made of burnt wood, with the charred layer scraped away to leave a smooth surface. They are sometimes perforated to create a whistling sound as the ball travels through the air. Hide Lacrosse Balls
Hide Lacrosse Balls are made of various animal hides, usually buckskin. They are usually stuffed with soft fillings such as sand or grass. Rubber Lacrosse Balls
Rubber Lacrosse Balls are the most commonly used balls today. They come in several colors, but balls used in official games are usually white or orange.
Visibility: Choose a lacrosse ball that you can easily see in all light conditions. If you will be using it for official games, stick to the approved colors. For practice and casual play you can choose fluorescent colors that you can see even in the evenings or under stadium lights. Durability: Choose a lacrosse ball that can withstand frequent use. Make sure it is made of high-quality rubber and will not dent, chip, or puncture easily. Look for one that meets the quality standards set by authorities such as the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) or the International Lacrosse Federation (ILF).
