Yes and no, the women’s high school ball is a size 3 and collegiate is a size 4. Where it gets tricky is international play. The “size” is the same (5) however the ball is 25% lighter do to helium. This is not in all leagues but there are newspaper articles about a league thathave hadan explosion in the room where the kept the helium filled balls. This was said to be done for the safety of the player, due to the low density of the women’s feet.

There isn't any difference in the balls. It is the distance of the tee from the hole which balances things out.

Generally men's Golf balls have a compression of 90 or 100. Lady, senior and junior golf balls are usually 80 compression. The compression of a golf ball is directly related to your swing speed. If you have a high swing speed, you want a high compression ball.....if you have a slow swing speed, you need a low compression ball. Weather is also a factor in the compression you should use. If it's cold you may want a 90 compression ball so it will travel further. That doesn't mean hit an 80 compression ball so you can gain distance the ball won't last 2 holes if you have too high of a swing speed.

Woman's golf balls are more softer and soft balls carry more backspin to shots. Men's golf balls are harder and so for their long game shots, their ball goes further. Womans golf balls are usually better for short game but not for distance. I use hard balls. I like the way they feel when I put and when I make contact with the ball. Womans golf balls feel a bit hollow to me when I put so I prefer the hard ones.

Women's golf balls have softer rubber cores, which helps add distance for people with slower swing speeds.

Answer

I have been playing golf for eight years and right now I'm 13, so i know the answer 100%. Women's golf balls have soft cores and they are better if you want more back spin on you shot. Most people also preffer womens golf balls on the putting green because it goes slower with a better feel. Men's golf balls are hard core. They don't give as much back spin as the women's golf balls. So if you want to improve your far distance with the driver, then I would recommend to you Men's golf balls.

There's no legal difference, everybody plays by the same rules.

Many women prefer a softer ball than men use, for example an 80 compression vs. a 90. But there's no real definition of compression, so it's hard to say just what that means.

Nope

Yes! Women play a regular duty felt ball and men play a heavy duty ball. The ball women play is noticeably lighter and faster than the men's and based on my 20+ years as a teaching pro represents about a 15% or more speed difference on serves. If Serena were hitting a heavy duty ball she'd be hitting in the high teens to low 120s and nowhere near the 135.

Yes. Ball size only changes depending on the age of the players. Youth players might play with smaller sized balls.
