Reddit mentions: The best playground balls

Ok so I have two dogs...but one of them is actually my dog, while the other is my mom's.

Wall-E is my dog. He's a black lab mix (I'm not sure what he's mixed with...he's a rescue) and currently he will be 4 months old TOMORROW! Wow time flies by! He's the most adorable little thing I've ever seen. He's very lovable, he loves everyone and loves to give kisses. He also likes to snuggle, and play with his treats before he eats them. He has is own vine channel called Wall-E the puppy.

My other dog is Jasper, also a rescue. He's a terrier mix. We got him when he was 3. He's like a cat, he doesn't really play much, he's very grumpy, and he hates kisses and affection. He's not my kind of dog, which is why I'm glad I have Wall-E now. It kinda makes me appreciate Jasper a little more.

Wall-E at 3 months

Here are rubber balls my dog can't actually bite into. He can bite them which is great, but he can't possibly destroy it cuz it's hard plastic.
and here is a stuffingless toy that my dog has broken the squeaker on one side, but he hasn't been able to tear it apart yet, and he has sharp puppy teeth, so it's held up pretty well. If you look for it on sale though, you can find it cheaper at Petsmart. I think we got ours for $6.

My item!

Yeah, I remember them with the ribbed texture. The school counselor was the ref in the games, and made sure we didn't throw at the head. Here's one on Amazon. Great fun.

Apparently, there's even specialty dodgeballs that hurt less.

Great question. I have no kids of my own, but I see other dad's using the following at the club I'm at.

Just based off current baseball demographics, you can probably throw to some degree if you're white or hispanic. There has been a serious decline in the amount of black americans who play baseball.(source) I've met British people who can't throw for shit, but they just don't have any throwing games except kinda cricket, but how many Brits have played outfield in a game of cricket?

USA has throwing games all over the place. Even if it's not baseball, you can buy a set of two pads of velcro and a furry ball and throw to each other. like this. MLB, NBA and NFL all at some point can require throwing(NBA more of a lob i guess?).

Not cheap, but I do enjoy mine.

Here you go!
And I bought the tire patch from Walmart and 2 50# bags of sand from home depot. Make sure you have a funnel as well!

I was going to suggest Toby's ball as well - here it is on Amazon. I got one for myself a while back, I like it a lot.

This pack of 5 balls on Amazon weighs 8.8 Oz. So like 1.75 Oz per ball.

edit: i hit enter too fast.

I have the bags in this link. After inserting my bra I add a small playground in between the cups. Works well.

I looked it up and I think s/he's referring to the brand Gator Skin which makes foam dodgeballs with a synthetic coating that looks and feels nothing like alligator skin and are designed not to hurt. It sounds like the kid who cried was just a wuss.

here's the link buddy: https://www.amazon.ca/Champion-Uncoated-Regular-Density-8-5-Inch/dp/B000CD10JK/ref=sr_1_18?keywords=foam%2Bball&qid=1556559164&s=gateway&sr=8-18&th=1&psc=1

I went for the bigger size (8.5)

>because the wind resistance is the same as its mass.

Force =/= mass. You meant to say that terminal velocity is achieved when the air resistance on an object is equal to its acceleration due to gravity.

>Reasonable answer, no math.

The OP asked for the math.

This ball is 25.4cm in diameter, and has a mass of 300 grams (shipping weight). A 25.4cm sphere has a volume of 8580 cm^3, and therefore a density of .00438 grams/cm^3. Assuming a drag coefficient of .4, and falling through air with density 1.29 kg/m^3, the ball would reach terminal velocity at 7.506 m/s = about 16.8 mph. (I cheated, using the calculator here, because it's late and it's been 2 years since I took physics.)

So, your dodgeball hero could potentially release the ball at 85 mph (highly unlikely given the cumbersome nature of nerf balls, and the fact that 85mph is near professional fastball speed), but it would very quickly slow to a maximum of 16.8 mph while traveling through the air.
