Abstract:
A game ball configured for direct contact with a user's hands includes a cover formed of a natural leather and having an outer surface. The outer surface of the cover includes a pebbled texture. The pebbled texture includes a plurality of spaced apart pebble-like projections extending from a base region. Each of the pebble-like projections has a pebble height measured from the base region adjacent to the pebble-like projection to a top surface of the pebble-like projection. At least a first portion of the cover includes alphanumeric and/or graphical indicia applied by a laser ghosting process, and a second portion of the cover is formed without the indicia. The average pebble height of a plurality of the pebble-like projections in the first portion of the cover is at least 80 percent of the average height of a plurality of the pebble-like projections in the second portion of the cover.

Claim (Index 4):
The game ball of  claim 1 , wherein the first and second portions of the cover have first and second static coefficient of friction values, respectively, when measured in accordance with the standard test method for static coefficient of friction of ASTM D1894-14, and wherein the static coefficient of friction value of the first portion of the cover is at least 60 percent of the static coefficient of friction value of the second portion.
