What is a "bandy ball"?
A bandy ball is a small, hard ball used in the sport of bandy, which is similar to ice hockey but played with a ball instead of a puck. The ball is typically made of plastic or rubber and is similar to the size of a tennis ball. It is lightweight, allowing players to control and pass it easily on the ice. The ball's bright color, often orange or yellow, ensures good visibility during play. Since bandy is played on ice, the ball is designed to be durable enough to withstand the cold and the impact from the players' sticks.
Examples
Unlike hockey pucks, bandy balls can be lifted and controlled with the stick.
Beginners in bandy often struggle with keeping their eye on the fast-moving bandy ball.
