Most hockey balls are made of plastic with a hollow centre, or a cork centre surrounded with a plastic shell. If you ask because you hear it rattling; part of the inside has spalled (a small piece has come off the inside due to the shock of a hit, and is free to move), and should probably be replaced.

From Bengal There was the outstanding Keshav Dutt at centre-half, also a classy badminton player. 1968 captain Gurbux Singh, an Aligarh University blue, has served the game for close to five decades. In spite of an in-form Vece Paes, the hugely gifted Ashok Kumar and the legendary Aussie Ric Charlesworth, on the field Gurbux was everyone's choice for Man of the Match; and he was 40 at the time. Garney Nyss, who according to Dhyan Chand was a player from heaven, could well have made it to four Olympics. He didn't make it to even one - twice thanks to the second World War, once due to an injury, and once courtesy Pankaj Gupta.

Hockey sticks don't have a best make. It depends on what position you are, your style and how comfortable you feel with the stick. Without these factors you may not be playing the game to your full potential. It is better to ignore the make of stick; rather, focus on how you feel about the stick, whether it is too heavy, the right/wrong shape, if you can hit well with it, etc. There are many brands and it is best to try all that you can before making a decision.
