Cellulose-based spheres, typically 40mm in diameter and light in weight, are manufactured in a distinct cyan hue for recreational or training purposes. This coloration differentiates them from the standard white or orange varieties commonly used in the sport. For example, a set of these uniquely colored spheres might be used during practice drills to improve visibility against specific backgrounds or to add an element of visual distinction during gameplay.
The application of non-standard colors can offer advantages in training and visual perception. A different shade can enhance visibility against brightly lit or visually cluttered backgrounds, potentially improving a player’s ability to track the ball’s trajectory and spin. Historically, variations in color have sometimes been introduced to differentiate between practice and competition equipment, or to denote balls with specific performance characteristics. The use of these distinctive balls provides a potential aid to the overall training process.
