Sports ball that measures speed, spin, curve, movement and other characteristics and method therefor

摘要

A sports ball for calculating movement characteristics has a spherical core. A spherical circuit board is mounted within the spherical core. The spherical circuit board has components for monitoring and calculating the movement characteristics of the sports ball. The components are mounted on the spherical circuit board so the spherical circuit board is balanced. A winding is wrapped around the spherical core. A cover is positioned around the winding.
