A method and system for determining concentricity of a multiple layer golf ball are disclosed herein. One or more images of a golf ball are generated using an X-ray source, a camera or a digital detector, and an image intensifier. An edge detection algorithm is preferably utilized. The method also includes calculating Y,Z center coordinates of the a best fit diameter or ellipse of the inner edge layer and outer edge layer of the multiple layer golf ball.

A portable golf ball scrubber assembly includes a housing. Each of a plurality of straps is coupled to the housing and is extendable around a pole. First and second tracks are positioned within the housing. The second track surrounds the first track. The second track has an opening to receive a golf ball. Each of a plurality of bristles is positioned within the housing to scrub the golf ball. A crank is rotatably coupled to the housing and an arm positioned in the housing engages the crank. The arm travels around the first track and the second track when the cranks is rotated.

A portable game where balls are rolled over a ramp at targets. The game incorporates aspects of bocce ball with the additional challenge of a ramp and different types of targets. The game can roll up into an easily transportable package with all game pieces stored inside the roll. The roll can then be deployed to act as a portion of the game's playing surface in any suitable location. The game consists of balls, a runner, a ramp, and different forms of targets. The runner could be made of slats, fabric, or other materials that are flexible and can be rolled. The balls are similar to bocce balls but could be lighter or smaller for easy transport.

A control system for regulation balls in a football field and regulation ball support for same is provided. The system has ball supports arranged in a football field, a central control unit and a portable electronic device. Each ball support has presence sensors for detecting a football in a supporting base and data processing means for wirelessly communicating information from the presence sensors to the central control unit. The central control unit monitors the presence of footballs in each ball support and repeatedly sends, wirelessly, the results from the monitoring to the portable electronic device, which graphically shows on a screen the presence or absence of footballs in the corresponding ball supports.

A portable game system including a target pins, a throwing ball having a deflated state and an inflated state, and two platform sections each formed of a base and a planar playing surface. Each platform section having a handle disposed and having positioning indicia disposed thereon. The two platform sections configured to be held in abutting contact via a locking mechanism disposed thereon to hold the platform sections in a collapsed configuration in which the deflated throwing ball and game pins are held within a cavity defined between the platform sections. The game system further having a game play configuration in which the bottom of the first base is spaced apart from the bottom of the second base, the plurality of target pins are positioned on said first game pin positioning indicia and said second game pin positioning indicia, and the throwing ball is in its inflated state.

An extendible and collapsible stand holds and stores a bowling ball for a bowler during bowling activities. This stand can have a tapered shape from a base up to a seat on which the bowling ball sits. Multiple extension segments can be slidably connected together in this tapered shape and can individually extend and lock to vary or adjust the height of the stand. The seat forming the top of the stand has a concave shape to provide a compatible surface for which the ball will rest. The seat can also have a lighting means for shining light downward onto the stand base and surface supporting the stand. When not in use, the stand height can collapse down for efficient carry by the user.

The present invention surrounds the application of a substance to a sports ball, such as silica silylate, for the purposes of increasing grip and hydrophobicity. Disclosed are inventions surrounding the method, the system, and the apparatus for the treatment of a sports ball or other objects which a user desires to treat with a substance to achieve certain results in relation to the substance applied.
