Talk:Water polo ball

Dimensions
The 5 ball size is described as ".7 meters or 28 inches." But .7 meters is about

39.37 * .7 = 27.56 inches

This doesn't seem sufficiently precise - which dimension is the right one?

 * The FINA rules are not really precise:
 * WP 3.3 For games played by men, the circumference of the ball shall be not less than 0.68 metres and not more than 0.71 metres...
 * WP 3.4 For games played by women, the circumference of the ball shall be not less than 0.65 metres and not more than 0.67 metres...
 * So make the correction to these sizes, if you wish. Ryanjo (talk) 01:54, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

Pressure
"Ball weight is 400-450 grams (14-16 ounces) and inflated to approximately 34-48 kPa (5-7 PSI)[1] of pressure." Which is the real source of this assertion? A source is provided but it says nothing.

It seems the ball is quite harder as 90/97 kPa as many other authoritative sources says.
