She uses a soccer ball.
The women’s NCAA basketball is the same size as the WNBA ball.
“A standard NBA basketball has a diameter between 9.43 and 9.51 inches. In the WNBA, the basketball has a diameter of between 9.07 and 9.23 inches. Basketballs used in the NCAA are between 9.39 and 9.55 inches for men and 9.07 and 9.23 inches for women.”
No she doesn't.
There's only a 1 inch difference in circumference between the men's basketball and the women's. 29.5" vs. 28.5"
Regardless of the size, you still have to shoot it straight. And due to the vast difference in strength, it's still easier for the men to make long distance shots compared to the women.
