Super Ball

(Redirected from Super ball)

SuperBall (originally Super Ball) is a toy manufactured by Wham-O. It is an extremely elastic ball of rubber, with high resiliency . When it is dropped from a shoulder level, it bounces back to almost the original height. "Superball" has also become something of a generic name for any similarly high-bouncing rubber ball.

The original Super Ball was invented by chemist Norman Stingley in his spare time in 1965.

When Lamar Hunt saw his daughter playing with a Super Ball, it inspired him to name the new AFL-NFL World Championship Game the Super Bowl.
