a brightly colored, gripped ball used in the fast-paced water sport
A water polo ball is a round ball designed for use in water polo. It has a textured surface that provides grip, even when wet, allowing players to handle and throw it accurately. The ball is slightly inflated to stay afloat on the water while remaining firm enough for passing and shooting. Made from waterproof materials, it is durable and maintains its shape during play. It is often brightly colored to improve visibility in the water.
