Abstract

An improved adjustable ball comprising: multiple interior hemispherical baffles; consisting of a plurality of holes cut through the surface, located within the exterior shell. An exterior spherical shell; with a plurality of holes cut through the surface where the adjustable ball is configured such that by manipulating multiple protuberances in one configuration the interior baffle holes are aligned with the exterior shell holes. In an alternate configuration the interior baffle holes are misaligned with the exterior holes obstructing the exterior hole openings. In a third configuration the upper interior hemisphere baffle holes are in alignment with the upper hemisphere shell holes; The adjoined lower interior hemisphere baffle holes are misaligned with the exterior hemisphere shell holes.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . An adjustable ball comprising: 
 a shell baffle;    an interior hemispherical baffle located within the exterior shell;    a plurality of interior holes located on the interior spherical baffle; and    a plurality of exterior holes located on the exterior spherical shell, wherein the adjustable ball is configured such that in one configuration the interior holes are aligned with the exterior holes.    
   
   
       2 . The adjustable ball of  claim 1 , wherein the interior spherical baffle and the exterior spherical shell may be infinitely adjustable between a first configuration where the interior holes are aligned with the exterior holes, a second configuration where the interior holes are in complete misalignment with the exterior holes, and a third configuration where the interior holes are in mid-alignment with the exterior holes.  
   
   
       3 . The adjustable ball of  claim 2 , wherein the ball is further configured such that the flight path of the ball when thrown may be changed by adjusting the alignment between the interior holes and the exterior holes.  
   
   
       4 . The ball of  claim 2 , wherein at least one interior hemispherical baffle adjusts Independently.  
   
   
       5 . The ball of  claim 1 , wherein the interior baffle consists of at least one protuberance contained within an exterior shell.  
   
   
       6 . The ball of  claim 2 , wherein the interior baffle holes are the same shape as the exterior shell holes.  
   
   
       7 . The ball of  claim 2 , wherein the interior baffle holes and exterior shell holes are a different shape.  
   
   
       8 . The ball of  claim 2 , wherein at least one interior protuberance extends into at least one exterior slot of an exterior shell.  
   
   
       9 . The ball of  claim 2 , wherein the diameter of interior spherical baffle is less than that of the spherical shell.  
   
   
       10 . The ball of  claim 2 , wherein the diameter of at least one interior hemispherical baffle is less than that of at least one hemispherical shell.
