Not entirely true but close enough. I have both types and the CFL one is slitely wider and rounder on the ends. Both balls are perfect for the leagues they're being used in. The CFL ball gets a lot more loft and is more catchable, whereas the NFL ball is more ideal for 'slinging' and fitting it into tight coverage.
