The Dura Fast 40 is the tournament standard for outdoor. Franklin X-40 works great indoors.

Yes! Indoor balls are softer with larger holes. Outdoor balls are harder to handle wind.

Just keep a sleeve of each in your bag. They're not expensive.

Using indoor balls outside means they'll crack quickly. And outdoor balls bounce weird on indoor surfaces.
