Abstract

A golf ball has colored lines emanating from colored visual impact zones of the ball to form a useful alignment tool as well as directional indicators. The visual impact zones are located on opposite ends of the golf ball. The utility of such a colored design on the golf ball aids the golfer in seeing the ball to improve with eye-hand coordination and proper alignment of the golfer's body to the ball in order to produce a better ball striking result.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A golf ball, comprising:
 a colored first impact zone; and   a colored second impact zone on the opposite side as the first impact zone, wherein the second impact zone is smaller than the first impact zone.   
   
   
       2 . The golf ball of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a colored first directional line emanating from the first impact zone and extending around the ball through the second impact zone;   a colored second directional line emanating from the first impact zone and extending around the ball through the second impact zone, wherein the second directional line is orthogonal to the first directional line.   
   
   
       3 . The golf ball of  claim 2 , further comprising:
 a colored third directional line emanating from the first impact zone and extending around the ball through the second impact zone;   a colored fourth directional line emanating from the first impact zone and extending around the ball through the second impact zone, wherein the third directional line is orthogonal to the fourth directional line and wherein the third and fourth directional lines bisect the first and second directional lines.   
   
   
       4 . The golf ball of  claim 1 , wherein the first impact zone is octagonal and the second impact zone is circular. 
   
   
       5 . The golf ball of  claim 1 , wherein the color of first and second impact zones is selected from the group consisting of red, orange, reddish-orange, yellow, blue, black, and purple. 
   
   
       6 . The golf ball of  claim 3 , wherein the third and fourth directional lines each comprise a parallel pair of thin colored lines. 
   
   
       7 . The golf ball of  claim 6 , wherein the first and second impact zones and the first, second, third, and fourth directional lines are the same color. 
   
   
       8 . The golf ball of  claim 3 , wherein the first and second directional lines are different from the third and fourth directional lines. 
   
   
       9 . The golf ball of  claim 8 , wherein the difference is color. 
   
   
       10 . The golf ball of  claim 8 , wherein the difference is shape. 
   
   
       11 . The golf ball of  claim 2 , wherein the first directional line is a thick solid line and the second directional line is a thin broken line. 
   
   
       12 . A golf ball, comprising:
 a colored first impact zone;   a colored second impact zone on the opposite side as the first impact zone, wherein the second impact zone is smaller than the first impact zone;   a colored first set of orthogonal directional lines emanating from the first impact zone and extending around the ball through the second impact zone; and   a colored second set of directional lines emanating from the first impact zone and extending around the ball through the second impact zone, wherein the second set of directional lines bisects the first set of directional lines.   
   
   
       13 . The golf ball of  claim 12 , wherein the first and second impact zones are of a different shape. 
   
   
       14 . The golf ball of  claim 13 , wherein the first impact zone is an octagonal shape and the second impact zone is a circular shape. 
   
   
       15 . The golf ball of  claim 12 , wherein the color of the impact zones and the color of the directional lines is selected from the group consisting of red, orange, reddish-orange, yellow, blue, black, and purple. 
   
   
       16 . The golf ball of  claim 12 , wherein the second set of directional lines each comprise a parallel pair of thin colored lines. 
   
   
       17 . The golf ball of  claim 12 , wherein the first and second impact zones and the first and second sets of directional lines are the same color. 
   
   
       18 . The golf ball of  claim 12 , wherein the first set of directional lines is different from the second set of directional lines. 
   
   
       19 . The golf ball of  claim 18 , wherein the difference is color. 
   
   
       20 . The golf ball of  claim 18 , wherein the difference is shape. 
   
   
       21 . The golf ball of  claim 12 , wherein the first set of directional lines comprises a thick solid line and an orthogonal thin broken line.
