ABSTRACT:
A ball for target games has interengaging material for detachable adherence to an interengaging fabric surface of a target. A strip of the material has at least one curved portion. The ball has spaced openings along the extent of the strip or strips, and a strip portion extends through each opening. The strip may comprise a plurality of segments. The strip material and the target interengaging fabric surface each comprises a multiplicity of interengaging elements. The strips are adhesively secured to the ball surface. The openings may comprise spaced-apart pairs of openings, each separated by a wall portion, with the strip extending through each of the openings and retained by the wall portion. In another form, end portions of adjacent strip segments extend into a single opening and are secured to the edge walls of the opening and to the adjacent interior wall surface. A groove may be defined in the ball surface of such configuration and size as to receive the strip with the interengaging surface elements thereof extending above the ball surface adjacent to the groove. The groove may be deeper on the outside of the curved portion of the strip than on the inside to reduce the circumferential extent of the strip outside edge. A plurality of spaced-apart notches or slits may be defined in the inside of the strip curved portion to reduce the effective length of the inward edge portion for improved securement of the strip.
