Until fairly recently, the international game used the standard Size 7 ball men also used. Many women’s coaches in Europe recommend a restoration to a Size 7 ball because that’s what they were taught in Europe. Return to the Size 7 ball.
Yes, they used to use the the normal ball and they still do in many places. But when they do the three point line comes in. And the scoring goes way down. Because the hoop is the same for men and women the size of the ball increases the target size. Steph Curry would be nearly unstoppable if he could use the womens ball. His three point percentage would be over 60%
I did not know there were “ball sizes.”
Reminds me to make an appointment with my urologist.
