A little perspective
Disc golf driver vs Size 5 football: diameter comparison
The diameter of a size 5 football is about 1.04 times the outside diameter of a disc golf driver.
A disc golf driver is a specialised flying disc designed for long-distance throws in the sport of disc golf.
An association-football ball is an air-filled spherical ball designed to be kicked, passed and headed during play.
Both rulers start at the same zero and share one linear scale. Artwork keeps its original proportions.
