The size of the ball varies according to the classification of play; the permitted circumferences in international play are 12 in (30 cm) and 11 in (28 cm). The ball is most often covered in white leather in two pieces roughly the shape of a figure 8 and sewn together with red thread, although other coverings are permitted. The core of the ball may be made of long fibre kapok, or a mixture of cork and rubber, or a polyurethane mixture, or another approved material. In 2002, high-visibility yellow "optic" softballs were introduced.

A core is usually found inside baseballs and softballs.

Deep inside the ball of string, there is a hard core of rubber. How far the ball goes when hit depends on how dense the core is.

Basically just a bunch of thread wound up really tight. Then towards the middle is this fabric stuff. You should cut one open, everybody should at least once. It's crazy how much thread is in there, maybe a mile.
