Modified ball structure

Abstract

A modified ball structure has a base, a transparent hard inner body, a light emission control module, a transparent rubbery intermediate body and a spherical transparent outer body. An accommodation room is disposed on the base for installing the light emission control module thereon. More than two fixing components are annularly disposed outside the accommodation room. The transparent rubbery intermediate body is a soft rubber with resilience and shock-absorbing effect, and sheathes the surface of the transparent hard inner body. The spherical transparent outer body is a plastic body with a low flying resistance coefficient, and sheathes the surface of the transparent rubbery intermediate body. A better performance of the ball can be thus accomplished through the design of the three-layered structure.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to a modified ball structure and, more particularly, to a ball structure providing a golf ball with a better performance. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Because conventional golf balls can't emit light, they have the following disadvantages: [0003] (1) When playing golf at night, even if there is illumination, the light is still limited so that one can't determine flying direction and distance of a struck golf ball. A beginner can't thus perceive correctness when striking a ball. That is, a conventional golf ball can't help a golfer to examine where he or she makes errors. [0004] (2) When playing golf at night, if a golf ball lands in a place having poor illumination, the ball is difficult to find. [0005] (3) If a ball is struck into a bush or water, the ball is very difficult to find because the light is too dim to have a good line of vision. [0006] Therefore, if one can design out a golf ball capable of emitting light...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0009] One object of the present invention is to provide a ball structure providing a golf ball with a better performance (e.g., an enhanced rotation rate or speed). Because the design of a three-layer structure is adopted and the material of each layer is changed to improve the performance of the golf ball, a better striking feel is provided to the user.

[0010] Another object of the present invention is to provide a golf ball having a light emission mechanism. Through the inner structure of the golf ball and circuit control, night use can thus be accomplished.

[0011] Yet another object of the present invention is to allow a golf ball to be able to emit light when it is struck so that the golfer can clearly perceive the route and direction of the struck ball. The golfer can thus examine the correctness of his or her strike. Moreover, the struck ball is easily found.

Problems solved by technology

Because conventional golf balls can't emit light, they have the following disadvantages: (1) When playing golf at night, even if there is illumination, the light is still limited so that one can't determine flying direction and distance of a struck golf ball.

A beginner can't thus perceive correctness when striking a ball.

That is, a conventional golf ball can't help a golfer to examine where he or she makes errors.

(2) When playing golf at night, if a golf ball lands in a place having poor illumination, the ball is difficult to find.

(3) If a ball is struck into a bush or water, the ball is very difficult to find because the light is too dim to have a good line of vision.

The above integral structure, however, doesn't take the performance of the ball into account.

Therefore, the problem of a deviated circuit board may occur.
