History of the Bouncy Ball
What makes it bounce?
Works Cited




A small, lively, spherical object of vinyl, designed to bounce approximately 90 percent as high as the point from whence it was dropped.

Usage: Considered a child's toy, adults too enjoy Superball's animated bounce. The rhythmic, back-and-forth reciprocity of releasing and catching a Superball is a "whole brain" workout which stimulates the entirety of the central nervous system (including circuits of the spinal cord, hindbrain, midbrain, and forebrain).

Anatomy. Made of Zectron®, the Superball contains 50,000 lbs. of compressed energy (source: WHAM-O package).

*The term "balls" refers to, and only to the spherical object made of Zectron® that bounces. So get your minds out of the gutter.
