Patent ID: 8002652

Claim:
A method of playing a game with a game ball, comprising the step of: causing the game ball to exhibit a skokker direction of travel by applying a spin to the game ball at a point of contact; wherein the skokker direction of travel will be to the right when a counterclockwise spin is applied to the skokker game ball at the point of contact, to the left when a clockwise spin is applied to the skokker game ball at the point of contact, and straight when a top spin is applied to the skokker game ball at the point of contact; and wherein the game ball is comprised of a liquid movable within an interior spherical chamber that is held within an inner cavity of an outer ball shell such that said spherical chamber is maintained substantially in the center of the game ball during motion of the game ball and said motion is primarily determined by movement of the liquid within the interior spherical chamber such that the game ball can exhibit the skokker direction of travel.
