ABSTRACT:
An inflated spherical playing ball having a diameter of 13 to 14 inches is provided for outdoor use and specially adapted for use in a game wherein the ball is kicked by players wearing ice or roller skates. By virtue of the critically selected diameter of the ball, it will travel when kicked in a trajectory having an initial angle of 5.degree. to 45.degree. above horizontal. By virtue of specialized inner and outer fiber windings and their particular bonded relationship to a scuff-resistant cover layer, the ball has sufficient strength to endure the rigors of repeated forceful impact under wet conditions. The cover layer includes a multitude of sections having equilateral pentagonal and hexagonal perimeters and the combined thickness of the bladder, windings and cover is between 5/32 and 7/32 inch. The ball weighs between 24 and 30 ounces.
