The present invention relates to sports balls. A sports ball comprises a surface layer comprising a plurality of panels. The sports ball further comprises a lattice structure extending below the surface layer, wherein the lattice structure comprises a plurality of lattice cells comprising radially extending elements. The lattice cells which are adjacent to the surface layer have at least one dimension which is smaller than an average diameter of the panels.

This invention is associated with the sport of cricket in particular but not limited to and applicable to other sports and games as well where a ball is used to play. The invention relates that when a cricket ball having combinations of magnets inside with two different leathers (materials) or a combination of multi-leathers (materials) on the two hemispheres, is delivered by a bowler at a speed, an inherent swing is obtained, which is proportional to the difference in the resultant densities on the two hemispheres of the ball. The invention is aimed at providing a technology by which an inherent swing/drifted spin in the delivered ball is inevitably established which is irrespective of any seam positioning, other bowling skills, surrounding and pitch conditions.

In a golf ball having a two-layer core consisting of an inner core layer and an outer core layer, an intermediate layer consisting of at least one layer and a cover of one or more layer, the inner core layer and outer core layer are each formed of a rubber composition made up primarily of a base rubber, the inner core layer has a diameter of not more than 30 mm; and the core has specific hardness ratios (JIS-C hardness/Shore D hardness) at specific points on the cross-section thereof and the surface and center of the two-layer core has a specific hardness difference. This golf ball has a reduced spin rate on full shots with a driver and middle irons, thus imparting an excellent flight performance, and moreover has a good controllability in the short game on approach shots, making it ideal as a golf ball for professional golfers and mid- and high-level amateur golfers.

A lightweight spherical baseball like training ball has a hollow polyethylene plastic core adhered to a stitched white colored synthetic leather cover with a thin layer of adhesive. The lightweight ball has raised seams and measures in circumference similar to the ball circumference size mandated by Major League Baseball or softball rules whereby the ball is suitable for baseball and softball training and playing variations of the game of baseball or softball in confined areas.

A luminous ball with remote activation capability includes a sphere, a cover and a light-emitting device. The cover wraps an external circumferential surface of the sphere and is made of a light-transmissive material. At least one seam is formed on the cover, and a plurality of seam apertures are disposed in pairs along two sides of the at least one seam. The light-emitting device is disposed in the sphere and includes a light-emitting unit, a power unit, a wireless transmitter-receiver unit and a main control unit. The main control unit is operably configured to provide an electrical connection between the light-emitting unit and the power unit after obtaining an activation signal received by the wireless transmitter-receiver unit such that light emitted by the light-emitting unit penetrates the sphere and the cover and is visible through the at least one seam and the plurality of seam apertures.

The present invention relates to sports balls. A sports ball comprises a surface layer comprising a plurality of panels. The sports ball further comprises a lattice structure extending below the surface layer, wherein the lattice structure comprises a plurality of lattice cells comprising radially extending elements. The lattice cells which are adjacent to the surface layer have at least one dimension which is smaller than an average diameter of the panels.

A bowling ball can have an inner core layer that is shaped, constructed, and/or configured to provide the bowling ball with one or more prescribed properties or characteristics, and a cover stock layer comprising a liquid curable material received about the inner core layer. The bowling ball further has a riser pin feature that is at least partially defined by a passage extending through at least the cover stock layer and in which a filler material is received. The riser pin feature can be located in an opposite hemisphere of the bowling ball from a hemisphere including the true center of gravity and a marked heavy spot of the bowling ball and can be arranged within about 1 inch of an end of the Low Radius of Gyration Axis of the bowling ball.
