So, I just realized that the company that owns Gilbert coincidntly owns Steeden. My question now is "Is there a feckin' difference between the two balls?"
I reckon the end-over-end pass they've developed in League must have something to do with the fact that it's either harder to torpedo-pass or they just don't have the passing distance. [/b]

Interesting...I'd love to get my hand on a league ball to check it out. However league is almost non-existant here...
But a League Ball and an Aussie Rules Ball are the same???? :bleh!:

I doubt it, because they are both Gridiron balls.Completing the set - is there a difference between NFL and CFL balls?

While the tolerances of Canadian and American footballs are slightly different, the same ball can fall within the tolerances of each. Canadian Football League rules specify that the long circumference of the ball should be not less than 27¾ inches (705 mm) nor greater than 28¼ inches (718 mm), while the short circumference should be no less than 20⅞ inches (530 mm) nor greater than 21⅛ inches (537 mm). The dimensions of the official National Football League and National Collegiate Athletic Association football are specified by its manufacturer as: short circumference: 20¾ to 21¼ inches (527 to 540 mm), long circumference 27¾ to 28½ inches (705 to 724 mm).
Another difference between CFL, NFL, and NCAA balls is the type of stripe applied (or not). Canadian balls have a complete white stripe around the football 1 inch (25 mm) from each end, NCAA balls have broken stripes, and NFL balls have no stripes.[/b]

No, gridiron is slang that we don't actually use much here. It's probably like us calling your Football "Soccer".Isn't gridiron the name of the field? [/b]
In reference to the Aussie Rules Balls, what was the "Torpedo"?

Lol, totally wrong. A league ball is more round, and the union ball is more bullet like.Yes, as you can see from the photo the League ball isn't quite as round and is also actually a bit longer. The difference comes from the larger emphasis on kicking in Union compared to the predominantly passing game of league (i.e the bullet like league ball is easier to pass while the slightly rounder union ball has a larger sweet spot for kicking).

Well, the one of the right has stripes, and if these are anything like speed-stripes on a car, it'll make the ball much more aerodynamic and will move much faster when passed/kickedCompleting the set - is there a difference between NFL and CFL balls?
