Abstract
A football for recreational use includes an inner core portion consisting of an air bladder or foam material, which is at least partially surrounded by an internal web of raised threads. This inner core portion and surrounding web are then covered by a thin medial layer of deformable gel material, which is then covered by an external layer/outside covering of soft, pliable material. The web of internal threads surrounding the inner core, combined with the medial gel layer, enable the user'"'"'s fingers and thumb to achieve a superior grip on the football, through the external layer, medial gel layer, and onto the threads, with minimal gripping force.
