A substantially spherical game ball comprising: a plurality of substantially pentagonal panels, each of the substantially pentagonal panels having first edges, at least one of the first edges having a non-linear configuration; a plurality of substantially hexagonal panels, each of the substantially hexagonal panels having second edges, at least one of the second edges having a non-linear configuration, the substantially pentagonal panels and the substantially hexagonal panels being connected along abutting first edges and second edges, and the substantially hexagonal panels being connected to each other along abutting second edges; and a substantially decagonal panel having a shape of two of the substantially hexagonal panels wherein a similarity in size between an area of each of the plurality of substantially hexagonal panels and an area of each of the plurality of substantially pentagonal panels is greater than in a configuration where each of the plurality of substantially hexagonal panels and the plurality of substantially pentagonal panels includes all linear edges.
