摘要： A training game ball is described having cues for visually indicating the rotational alignment of the ball when it is thrown. If the ball is improperly thrown so that the axis of rotation does not stay perpendicular to the direction of flight, then the rotational alignment cue line will appear to wobble as the ball travels. The ball also has a rotational speed cue formed from a plurality of spaced panels arranged parallel with the alignment cue. If the ball is thrown with a high rotational speed, the panels will appear to the player as a solid line. Still further, the ball also includes hand alignment cues for assisting a player in properly positioning his or her hands for throwing the ball. The hand alignment cues include finger positioning pads, which are positioned sufficiently close together about the circumference of the ball to allow even a small youth's hand to easily reach a finger positioning pad from any position of the ball. The hand alignment cues may also include a stabilizing hand positioning mark located over one or both opposite poles of the ball. Each of the cues may have a different appearance, so that they may be visually distinguished. The hand alignment cues may also have a different surface to provide a tactile indication of their location to a player.

摘要翻译： 描述了一种训练游戏球，其具有用于在投掷球时可视地指示球的旋转对准的线索。 如果球被不正确地投掷，使得旋转轴线不垂直于飞行方向，则旋转对准提示线将随着球的行进而出现摆动。 球还具有由与对准提示平行设置的多个间隔开的面板形成的转速提示。 如果球以高旋转速度投掷，则面板将以实线显示给玩家。 此外，球还包括用于辅助玩家正确定位他或她的手以投掷球的手对准线索。 手对准线索包括手指定位垫，其定位成围绕球的圆周充分靠近在一起，以使得即使是小青年的手从球的任何位置容易地到达手指定位垫。 手对准线索还可以包括位于球的一个或两个相对极上的稳定手定位标记。 每个线索可以具有不同的外观，使得它们可以在视觉上区分。 手对准线索也可以具有不同的表面，以向玩家提供其位置的触觉指示。
