BACKROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The invention is raised circular patterns in assorted sizes in random placement on rubber and leather basketballs. The basketballs are used to improve the dribbling and ball handling Skills of players by the difficulty of mastering the irregular bounce of the ball.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0002] The invention provides assorted size circular bubble like surface patterns protruding at irregular heights from men's and woman's regulation size basketballs in rubber and leather. The bubble protrusions greatly change the bounce of the ball. When the hand on top of the ball pushes the ball down the fingers must be spread to control the ball because the ball bounces off the floor at different and random angles making it difficult to control the direction you want to take the ball. With the irregular bounce of the bubble surface basketball the dribbling skills will be improved by learning to adapt to the irregular bounce of the basketball. The object of using the ball is to have fingers spread on hand to control the ball while looking forward and dribble the ball up and down the basketball court. Practice with the ball will increase your skill level of dribbling because of the bounce of the ball.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0003] The exterior qualities of the ball include 5 to 7 assorted sized circular bubbles protruding over the entire surface of the ball. The circular bubbles can range in size of 2 cm to 5 cm in diameter and can be randomly spaced at 8 cm to 15 cm apart. The bubble circles are raised 1 cm to 2.5 cm from the surface of the men and women's regulation size rubber and leather basketballs. The assorted circular bubbles are made with air pockets under the surface of the ball. Regulating the amount of air pressure in the ball can change the bounce.
