Does Basketball Size Affect Your Shooting Percentage? Caleb Hendricks
Introduction Have you ever wondered if changing the type of ball you use can affect the way you shoot?
Hypothesis I predict that the boys will increase there percentage as they increase the ball size, and the girls will decrease. I believe that because boys are stronger, they will be able to adjust quicker.
