Sporting Foot and Base Balls

[Dannyalcatraz]

ok... and now a difficult one... but a good one still!!! (I hope!)


I am pretty tough as a ball!!!

I'd even say i can beat all other balls!!

That's how tough I am!!!

Yet...

for some reason unknown...

people use me...

when they really get weak!!

what am I?

Medicine ball!

This almost spherical ball one has a core of cork beneath layers of tightly wound string. All of this is covered by a leather outer layer that has a raised sewn seam running along a great circle. This leather layer is constructed from four pieces. The seam comprises six rows of stitching.

The ball can weigh no more than 163g and its circumference can be no more than 229mm. It's flippin' hard and sometimes lethal.

I want to say it's a baseball or the one used in jai alai.

[Ranes]

No.

A boule?

 

[Jimlock]

A boule?

Bravo!

A (metal) boule of Pentanque...

Played mostly by the retirees....

 

[Ranes]

Perceived, flawless self
Shows phantasms inverted
Play brings sounds and lights

Pinball.

P.S. Thanks for introducing me to jai alai.

 

[Dannyalcatraz]

Pinball it is!

 

[Ranes]

Ah, the noble sport of pinball!

 

[Ranes]

I am light, but not the lightest
White, but not the whitest
When struck, I never travel far
Never a threat to any car
For even thrown with all your muscle
I rarely cause anyone to hustle
I'm used outside whenever able
And seldom land upon a table
I'm loved by both girls and boys
Great with countless other toys

What am I?

A ping pong ball, perhaps?

I am light, but not the lightest
White, but not the whitest
When struck, I never travel far
Never a threat to any car
For even thrown with all your muscle
I rarely cause anyone to hustle
I'm used outside whenever able
And seldom land upon a table
I'm loved by both girls and boys
Great with countless other toys

What am I?

Whiffle ball.
