# Ball (Y.M.C.A. One-Wall Rules, 1913, historical)

> **Historical rulebook: not the current rules.** The current rules are here: https://handball.theperfectship.com/rules/one-wall/

The ball known as the "Irish Ace" made of rubber and about 1⅞ inches in diameter is best, for it fits the hand and the players are more accurate with it. A tennis ball, however, may be used.
