- the obtained concave shape has almost the same depth at any place, and the average value is 200.
- the vertical projection area of the recesses that is, the projection area of the recesses from the upper surface direction perpendicular to the sheet surface, is substantially the same for all the recesses, and the average value is 2 mm 2.
- the average distance between the recesses was 2.5 mm, and the ratio of the total projected area of the recesses was 9% of the surface area of the coating layer.
- Example 1 A volleyball having the obtained sheet on its surface was prepared and evaluated in the same manner as in Example 1. As compared to the conventional volleyball (Comparative Example 1), it was hit at a more targeted position during toss and serve. In addition, the evaluation was that the stall speed during flight of the ball was smoother than that of the conventional ball. Also, the wear resistance of the ball was at a level where there was no practical problem.
- a sheet is obtained in the same manner as in (1) and (2) of Example 1 until the polymer elastic material coating layer is laminated on the surface of the fiber substrate and discontinuous recesses are formed on the surface of the coating layer. It was.
- emboss rolls with a pyramid-shaped convex part with a depth of 60 mm and a vertical projection area of 0.06 mm 2 were embossed at a temperature of 150 ° C, a pressure of 6 kg / cm, and a processing speed of 2 m / min.
- a secondary recess was formed in a portion other than the recess (upper surface of the protrusion).
- the secondary recess was 38 m deep, and the ratio of the sum of the vertical projection areas of the individual secondary recesses to the surface area of the coating layer was 12%.
- Example 2 Volleyball covered with the sheet obtained as described above was prepared and evaluated in the same manner as in Example 1. As compared with the conventional volleyball (Comparative Example 1), it was aimed at both toss and serve. The ball has the aptitude that could not be achieved by conventional balls, and the stalling speed of the ball during flight is smoother than that of conventional balls. It was le. Moreover, the wear resistance of the ball was at a level where there was no problem in practical use, and even when it was actually used for about 6 months, there was no breakage due to wear or large scratches, and good controllability was maintained.
- Example 1 the shape used in a general volleyball as a concave shape to be imparted by an embossing roll, that is, there are many pore-shaped patterns with a depth of several meters, and a substantially flat shape
- the treatment was performed under the same conditions as in Example 1 except that an embossing roll capable of obtaining the sheet surface was used.
- an embossing roll capable of obtaining the sheet surface was used.
- the wear resistance of the ball was at a level that was practically the same as in Example 1, and the controllability during toss was particularly higher than before.
- the force with which the ball's flight stall rate was evaluated to the same degree as that of the conventional ball. It was slippery! /, So it was very difficult to control! /.
- Example 1 the height 1. Omm, vertical projected area using an embossing roll that have a hemispherical convex portion of 8 mm 2, temperature 170 ° C, pressure 10 kg / cm, processing speed lm / min The treatment was performed under the same conditions as in Example 1 except that the embossing was performed.

- the average size is 4.9 mm 2
- the average distance between the recesses is 1.3 mm
- the ratio of the sum of the vertical projected areas of the recesses is 34% of the surface area of the coating layer. there were.
- Example 1 using an embossing roll having a hemispherical convex part with a height of 0.8 mm and a vertical projection area of 8 mm 2 at a temperature of 170 ° C., a pressure of 10 kg / cm, and a processing speed of lm / min.
- the treatment was performed under the same conditions as in Example 1 except that the embossing was performed.

- the average size is 1.8 mm 2
- the average distance between the recesses is 7.4 mm
- the ratio of the sum of the vertical projected areas of the recesses is 2% of the surface area of the coating layer. there were.
- the ball of the present invention has a large number of discontinuous recesses, the controllability of the ball is improved by suitably controlling the contact state between the fingertip and the ball surface when tossing. In addition, it has excellent non-slip properties due to its secondary unevenness that makes it difficult to slip even when wet with sweat or water. In addition, it has a design that not only has excellent controllability as a play total, but also has the effect of suppressing the blurring of the trajectory during flight such as serve and feeling the degree of stall during flight smoothly. It is also excellent and can be used very well as a ball that can be directly hit with a hand such as volleyball or beach volleyball.
