Specifications
The United States Bocce Federation official weight and size bocce is 920 grams and 107 mm diameter. Our Bubba Bocce (TM) balls are designed to simulate the weight and size of a USBF regulation weight and size bocce ball for US Open play. Technically, our bocce are sized slightly larger than 107mm because they are soft and under normal gripping pressure will deform in your hand to a smaller size. The feel is balanced for players who shoot overhand and underhand such that either method gives a satisfying feeling of equivalently playing with a "regulation" size and weight ball. Weights are held to a strict tolerance of less than +/- 2.5% (about 20 grams). Even the most discriminating bocce rollers can not differentiate a 2.5% weight variance.
