All About Croquet Balls

Croquet balls have evolved over the years, like most other sporting balls, to make the game better. Balls used to be made of hardwood, then hard rubber and are now made of plastic or other durable synthetic material. Specifications for balls vary from country to country and differ slightly from recreational balls. Primary balls are colored blue, red, black and yellow. Secondary colors are brown, white, green and pink. In America, the balls should be 35/8 inches in diameter and weigh between 15 ¾ to 16 ¼ ounces. The balls should be tested for roundness, so they roll true and precise. They are thoroughly tested for bounce and rebounding before being sold.
