A sports ball includes an inflatable ball or a non-inflatable ball. A photosensitive layer is provided on an outer side of the non-inflatable ball. The inflatable ball includes an inner bladder. An outer side of the inner bladder is bonded to a patch layer through an adhesive layer. A valve core is fixed and penetrates from an inner side of the inner bladder to an outer side of the patch layer, such that the inner side of the inner bladder communicates with the outer side of the patch layer through the valve core. A spacer groove is formed between the outer side of the inner bladder and the patch layer. A sealing strip is bonded to an inner side of the spacer groove; and the photosensitive layer is provided on the outer side of the patch layer. The photosensitive layer includes UV photochromic powder.

A golf ball comprising layers that have from 0.05% to 70% by weight of a radio-opaque filler, and wherein the concentration of the radio-opaque filler is measurably different in each layer is disclosed herein. The radio-opaque filler is preferably a compound based on barium, bismuth, tungsten, iodine, or reduced iron.

A golf club head that is capable improving on the inertia properties of a golf club head all while also improving the Center of Gravity (CG) location is disclosed herein. More specifically, the golf club head in accordance with the present invention achieves a relative low Moment of Inertia (MOI) about the Z-axis (MOI-Z) as well as a relatively low MOI about the Shaft-axis (MOI-SA), all combined with a high MOI about the X and Y-axis (MOI-X and MOI-Y) and maintaining a consistently and relatively low CG location measured along a direction tangent to the hosel axis along the X-Y plane (CG-B).

An adhesive for a tennis ball of the present disclosure includes base rubber and a filler. The base rubber contains, as a main component thereof, liquid rubber having a number average molecular weight of not less than 10,000. The filler has an average nitrogen specific surface area of not less than 40 m.sup.2/g. A tennis ball of the present disclosure includes a hollow core made of a rubber material. The core includes two hemispherical half cores. The two half cores are adhered to each other by using the adhesive for a tennis ball.

A shock-absorbing device is applied in a ball/racket frame having a plurality of string holes allowing a string to pass, and includes: at least one or more outer tubular member, disposed at a periphery of the ball/racket frame and arranged between the string holes adjacently disposed, wherein two sides and an outer side of the outer tubular member are formed with an adhering surface and an outer tubular wall, and a bottom end of thereof is formed with an adhering part adhered at the periphery of the ball/racket frame; and an inner tubular member, disposed in the outer tubular member along an axial direction and an inner side thereof is formed with an inner tubular wall; accordingly, by providing interferences at different timings and bearing shock waves of a counter shock force generated while a ball being struck via the string, effects of absorbing shock and damping are achieved.

Protective device having a general U-shape and being associated with a longitudinal direction arranged to run along the teeth of a user along the general U-shape, the protective device including an outer, stiff material body, arranged to define a rigid outer shape of the mouthguard; and an inner material body, arranged to define an inner shape of the mouthguard, the inner material body being made from a plastic material arranged to soften when heated so as to be molded, in heated condition, onto the teeth of the user, the inner material body being arranged to cover at least part of a bottom, a front wall and a back wall of the outer material body, a part of the inner material body covering at least part of the bottom being arranged, in the cross-section, to define a shape with a front part, a back part and a relatively thicker central part.

Embodiments of wood-type club heads comprising one or more components are described herein. The wood-type club head comprises a first, metallic component, and a second, non-metallic component. The first component comprises the load bearing structure that forms the striking face, and portions of the crown, the heel, the toe, and the sole. The second component comprises a lightweight structure that wraps around the first component to form portions of the crown, the heel, the toe, and the sole. The first component comprises mass pads and receives removable weights to adjust the weight properties of the club head. The two-component design allows for additional discretionary mass redistribution to improve center of gravity location and moment of inertia.

A golf club head with an improved Center of Gravity (CG) location is disclosed. More specifically, the present invention relates to a metalwood type golf club head with improved performance via shifting the CG towards a location that reduces spin, at the same time, without sacrificing launch angle and the forgiveness of the golf club head. This golf club head may generally have a unique construction capable of achieving a low and forward CG location that is less than 40 mm from the face center along a Z-axis, a CG height that is no more than 2 mm above the neutral axis, and a MOI-Y of greater than about 4,000 g-cm.sup.2.

A golf club head with a hosel hole cover that helps improve the performance of the golf club head is disclosed. More specifically, the present invention relates to a golf club head having a hosel hole cover at a bottom portion of an interchangeable connection system that not only provides improved performance of the golf club head by strategically utilizing an existing opening to adjust the weighting of a golf club head, but it also improves the aerodynamics of the golf club head by eliminating undesirable recesses that could be detrimental to the aerodynamics of a golf club head.
