Hey!

Hello! How can I help you today?
assistant
I'm looking for information about different types of balls used in sports. What's the difference between a baseball and a softball?
user
A baseball is smaller and harder than a softball. Baseballs are also stitched with a tighter seam, which helps pitchers throw different types of pitches.
assistant
That's helpful, thanks. What about soccer balls - are they made of leather?
user
While some high-end soccer balls are still made from leather, many modern soccer balls are made from synthetic materials, such as polyurethane or polyvinyl chloride (PVC), which are more durable and water-resistant.
assistant
Okay, that makes sense. Do you have any recommendations for a good beginner soccer ball?
user
For a beginner, I'd recommend a ball with a textured surface for better grip and control. Look for a ball with a low to moderate price point, around $10-$20, and a size 5, which is the standard size for adults and older kids.
