Hockey balls are small, hard, and spherical objects used in the sport of field hockey. They are typically made of solid plastic or cork, and are designed to be durable enough to withstand the high-speed impacts and rough handling that occur during gameplay. The standard size of a hockey ball is 71mm in diameter, and it weighs between 156 and 163 grams. The color of the ball is typically bright orange, although other colors such as white or yellow may be used in certain contexts. The use of hockey balls in field hockey is an essential aspect of the game, as they are the primary object used to score goals. Players use their sticks to hit the ball around the field, passing it to teammates and attempting to shoot it into the opposing team's goal. Due to the small size and hard texture of the ball, players must be skilled in their handling and control of the ball in order to be successful in the sport. In addition to their use in field hockey, hockey balls may also be used in other sports such as street hockey or roller hockey. These variations of the sport typically use a smaller and lighter ball, as the playing surface and equipment used in these sports are different from those used in field hockey.
