Bocce is probably the best backyard game invented. Ever. Enjoy the outdoors amongst a group of friends with a leisurely game. It's easy to learn, easy to play, and invites a challenge along with social interaction.
This set includes equipment for up to eight players with brightly colored 109mm diameter ground balls, 60mm pallino (making it easy to find in grassy areas), distance marker, and carrying bag.
Resin is the most popular material for bocce balls and will withstand frequent use better than other materials. Molded plastic is best for children or for beginners and can be somewhat "softer," although still very durable. A bocce ball that is smaller than 100mm is typically best for children or for beginners. This size is easiest to handle and toss. Tournament balls will range between 107mm and 115mm. The International Standard ball is 107mm (4.2 inches) and weighs 920 grams (2 lbs.). The occasional backyard player will most likely appreciate a size somewhere between 100mm and 110mm.
