Abstract:
The ball includes a plurality of polygonal panels that are attached to one another, each such panel having a marginal region and a central region, wherein the marginal region is raised or elevated relative to the central region. By virtue of its material of construction, the weight of the ball is about half that of an equivalent-sized conventional soccer ball. As a consequence of its configuration and weight, the ball can be readily kicked to follow a bending, curving, dipping, and/or swerving trajectory.

Claim (Index 18):
A ball comprising:\n a first plurality of panels having a hexagonal-shape and a second plurality of panels having a pentagonal-shape, the first and second plurality of panels defining an outer surface of the ball, each of the panels having a marginal region and a central region, wherein: (a) the marginal region is embossed relative to the central region, (b) for each panel of the first plurality, the marginal region defines a hexagonal shape and the central region defines a hexagonal shape, and (c) for each panel of the second plurality, the marginal region defines a pentagonal shape and the central region defines a pentagonal shape; a bladder having a spherical shape, wherein the bladder is disposed radially inward of the outer surface of the ball; and a valve, wherein the valve is in fluidic communication with an inside of the bladder and is physically adapted to enable gas to be delivered to the inside of the bladder to inflate the bladder and the ball.
