Selecting the correct line type:Selecting the correct diameter:

The ball diameter is dependant on the players hand size, as a rule of thumb face the palm of each hand towards each other with both your elbow and wrist touching. Place a ball symmetrically in your hands and rap your fingers firmly around the circumference of the ball. If your finger tips just touch, it is a perfect ball, if they overlap, it's undersized, and if there is a gap, it's oversized.

This is a personal choice. However, the ideal line types for a thrower is one with greater number of lines and more evenly distributed for an even grip. For a bowler, a minimal number of lines is ideal. For an all rounder a medium number of lines is ideal.

line depths can also be selected, depending on the players preference, such as shallow, normal, or deep. Majority of players get a normal depth line type. To diminish the risk of breaks select a ball with minimal lines. Refer to the detailed product images for all different line types available for selection.

Selecting the correct weight:
This depends on which Bocce event/s you specialise in. Generally a heavier ball is ideal for bowlers (pointing) and a lighter ball is ideal for throwers (throwing).
Examples:
Progressive and/or Precision throw player - 1000g
bowl/throw (combined) player - 1020g
Traditional player (mainly a bowler) - 1050g+
Traditional player (mainly a thrower) - 1040g
Social Player - 1050g
