A synthetic fiber ball and method of manufacturing the same is disclosed. The fiber ball includes a plurality of fibers having a predetermined length bound together with a fastening fiber at a central core. The plurality of fibers extend outwardly from the fastening fiber at the central core to form a generally spherical shaped ball. The plurality of fibers are heat shrunk in a spinning oven from a generally cylindrical shaped fiber bundle having a predetermined diameter to form the fiber ball.

A sporting ball includes a ball core unit, a main body unit and an outer covering unit. The ball core unit includes a spherical cork body, and a rubber layer covering the cork body. The main body unit includes a yarn layer having at least one piece of yarn wrapped around the ball core body, and a rubber film layer fixedly covering the yarn layer and being immovable relative to the yarn layer. The outer covering unit fixedly covers an outer surface of the main body unit. A method of manufacturing the sporting ball is also disclosed.

Method for incorporating a tracking device within a body of elastomeric material, including the steps of: a) providing a semi-finished product made of a raw elastomeric material, preferably rubber or a thermoplastic polymer; b) providing a tracking device; c) providing an insert; d) joining by means of textile technique the tracking device and the insert so as to obtain a trackable insert; e) providing a mould; f) inserting the semi-finished product and the trackable insert into the mould; h) obtaining a trackable body by moulding the semi-finished product together with the trackable insert.

Described are a carcass for a sports ball having a textile element, which has at least two segments joined by a seam and defines a shape of the carcass, and wherein the at least two segments and the seam are warp-knitted or weft-knitted in a single piece, and a method of making a carcass for a sports ball.
