Closed cell foam articles, such as sports balls, and related manufacturing methods are disclosed herein. The article includes a main body made of closed-cell elastomeric resin foam having a density ranging between about 0.050 sg and about 0.800 sg after curing. Some articles are assembled by inserting a cured core into a main body so that the core is secured in the main body via an interference fit, and the core has one or more portions extending to the exterior surface of the main body such that the an exposed surface of the one or more exposed portions of the core blend substantially with the exterior surface of the main body.

A practice ball with an off-axis weight distribution allows sportspeople to practice their ball catching, passing and other skills using a ball that flies through the air with a wobbly trajectory.

An inflatable sports training ball made as an inflatable exterior surface formed of an air tight flexible outer casing which, when inflated, defines an exterior surface; an interior air pocket surrounded by an interior liner defining a bladder, the interior liner made of an air tight and water tight rubber; an inflation and fill valve; and a solution filling a portion of the bladder, the solution being substantially heavier than air and occupying an amount of said interior volume wherein a pre-determined amount of the solution is forced into the interior air chamber of the sports ball with a pump and the resulting partially solution filled sports ball is used for training drills by a sports player.

The present invention relates to a hollowed ball with an erratic movement for pets formed by a single piece, preferably made from an elastic material that allows the erratic movement during a rotation or rebound displacement due to its interior design. The form and dimensions and dimensions of the ball allows the storage of food in its interior, introducing and dosing such food through openings or hollows placed in the external part of the ball. The ball is structurally formed in its interior by at least two cylindrical sections with continuing radially arched thickness with a sequential projection of horizontally cylindrical truncated steps.

An interchangeable sports training apparatus for training user's how to kick sports balls. The apparatus includes a base including a mounting bracket for mounting the base onto a surface. A height-adjustable support arm affixed to the base includes a swivel rotatably coupled thereto, such that the swivel is configured to rotate 360 degrees about the support arm. A swing arm coupled to the swivel includes a quick-release mechanism configured to releasably engage a sports ball retaining bracket and a first fastener. A height-adjustable return arm includes a second fastener configured to releasably engage the first fastener of the swing arm, in order to hold the training apparatus in a ready position for kicking, and includes a return member configured to stop rotation of the swing arm and return the swing arm to the ready position.

Tubular projectile devices are disclosed herein. An exemplary tubular projectile device includes a spheroid frame having a long axis and a short axis. Further, the exemplary tubular projectile device includes a tubular medial section coupled with the spheroid frame; a first bicone comprising an exterior first cone congruent with an interior first cone, the first bicone being terminal along the long axis of the spheroid frame and coupled with the spheroid frame; and a second bicone comprising an exterior second cone congruent with an interior second cone, the second bicone being terminal along the long axis of the spheroid frame and coupled with the spheroid frame. The exemplary tubular projectile device may be a football.

A modified elastic gym ball includes a hollow spherical body, a plurality of first polygonal column bumps and a plurality of second polygonal column bumps. The hollow spherical body has an outer surface. The plurality of first polygonal column bumps and the plurality of second polygonal column bumps are individually protruded from the outer surface by a first protrusive height and a second protrusive height different from the first protrusive height, respectively.

Recreational footballs with rotor assemblies are provided herein. An example football includes a plurality of struts forming a prolate spheroid frame; and one or more rotor assemblies each having a plurality of blades, the one or more rotor assemblies being disposed within the prolate spheroid frame, the one or more rotor assemblies changing at least one aerodynamic aspect of flight of the recreational device when air passes through the prolate spheroid frame and rotates the plurality of blades of the one or more rotor assemblies.

A baseball and a method of instructing throwing a baseball is disclosed. The baseball has a seam, a first, preferably green, color zone placed on a first side of the ball, a second, preferably yellow color zone placed around a first circumference of the ball, and a third, preferably red, color zone placed on a second side of the ball. A pair of finger placement markings are carried on the first color zone. The baseball player is instructed to engage in a proper throwing motion, and the ball confirms by maintaining visual line of sight with the first color zone throughout, providing feedback of a correct throwing motion in which the ball is drawn. away from the target with the arm and hand placed in a correct position.
