How to use ball in a sentence?
It was a complete accident ; ball just got away, i got a swing and miss on a ball kind of up in the zone, so I tried to go back to it, and it just got away from me.
I think Melbourne at that time was the most polluted city in the world that day, it was sad to see some players collapsing and ball kids collapsing on the court.
This guy, when I saw him, for a fast jet with the wheels down, I said, 'I think he's coming in too low,' then he was 90 degrees -- sideways -- and then he went belly-up into the house and it was a ball of fire. It was terrible.
The grounding of the putter near the ball and the ball's immediate movement after the club had been grounded, we put Dustin on notice, we just wanted him to realize that we were concerned and we wanted to make him aware of that so that he could strategically make decisions that he needed to make for the balance of the round.
We didn’t play well enough to beat a top-10 team tonight, we didn’t rebound the ball in the first half and then in the second half we didn’t force enough stops to even have our rebounding be exposed. They wore us out on the interior and that was more disappointing than surprising.
