Abstract:
A ball capable of providing an erratic, as well as a normal, bounce comprised of a hollow spherical member and, preferably, twenty-two integral hemispheric projections arranged in a predetermined pattern about the periphery of the spherical-shaped member. The projections are of uniform diameter which is a predetermined relationship to the diameter of the spherical-shaped member to achieve a desirable ergonomic effect. The cumulative volume of the hemispheric projections is substantially equal to one-half the volume of the spherical member and the radius of the spherical member is preferably of the order of 2. 8 times the diameter of the projections. The game ball may be provided in the form of a kit including a cord having predetermined colored markers for creating the playing court which has a likeness of an international "PEACE" symbol. The projections may be provided with a similar "PEACE" symbol.
