Abstract

A ball that is pliable, seamless, flexible and durable that has a seamless, uniformly thick outer shell and where the shell has one or more holes formed in the outer shell and where the walls of the holes are angled inwardly toward the center of the ball in order to increase air flow into the ball.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A ball, said ball comprising:
 a pliable, seamless, durable, resilient outer shell where said outer shell has a shell thickness that is between 1 and 5 millimeters thick;   one or more holes formed in said outer shell where said holes have perimeter walls that are angled inwardly towards a center of said ball.   
     
     
         2 . The ball of  claim 1  where said outer shell thickness is between 1.5 and 2.5 millimeters. 
     
     
         3 . The ball of  claim 1  where the ball has limited flight path when struck but has a longer and straighter flight path when thrown. 
     
     
         4 . The ball of  claim 1  where said outer shell is made from a PVC, non-phthalate material. 
     
     
         5 . The ball of  claim 1  where said outer shell has uniform thickness. 
     
     
         6 . The ball of  claim 1  where said ball is approximately the size of a golf ball and that weighs at least 20 grams or more and where said shell thickness is at least 2.75 millimeters or more. 
     
     
         7 . The ball of  claim 1  where said ball is approximately the size of a base ball and that weighs at least 70 grams or more and where said shell thickness is at least 2.5 millimeters or less. 
     
     
         8 . The ball of  claim 1  where said ball is approximately the size of a soft ball and that weighs at least 80 grams or more and where said shell thickness is at least 2.5 millimeters or less. 
     
     
         9 . The ball of  claim 1  where said hole wall angles are at an angle of between 30 and 75 degrees. 
     
     
         10 . The ball of  claim 1  where said hole wall angles are at an angle of between 45 and 60 degrees.
