A side strip 10 for weaving into a sepak takraw ball 66. The strip comprises an elongate length of plastics material wherein regions 34 have one or more generally longitudinal slots 38 through the face or the strip. The side strips have one convex edge and an opposing edge with an undulating profile of generally arcuate peaks 16. The slots define rattan-like slivers 42 which enable the takraw ball 66 to mimic a traditional rattan takraw ball. The takraw ball may be woven just from side strips or from a combination of side strips and centre strips. The centre strips have one or more generally longitudinal slots through the surface. The side or centre strips may also have grooves 36 in the surface within which the slots are formed. |
