ABOUT THE BALL:
The SATRYAN BALL™ had it’s beginnings several years ago when I first viewed the process for making rotationally molded balls. It fascinated me and I envisioned a ball that could fly by using a wing-like greater surface on the upper portion and centrifugal force for stabilazation. Because of my childhood background and a father that showed me how to use lathes and other machinery, I was able to make my own prototypes. The balls went from flat and disc like to very rounded and full, we finally settled on a happy medium. My son Ryan helped me make foam samples and in developing the right size and shape for easy throwing and flying of the ball. In honor of him we attached his name to the ball SATRYAN™.
SATRYAN BALL™ is ECLIPSE BALL’S™ newest product and Hide , Seek and Tag is our newest game creation. We hope that it brings joy and fun to all who play. We are thankful for all of the inspiration, help and love that has gone into the creation and production of it.
