Giant superball[edit]

Here is a reference for the giant superball off the roof...still not proof tho http://www.boston.com/news/globe/ideas/articles/2005/08/21/toy_story/?page=2 --Mazzmn 03:50, 9 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Super bowl[edit]

It is a fact that the first super bowl was originally called the "World Championship Game". See this page for images of tickets for example: http://www.superbowl.com/history/rings/game/sbi —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mazzmn (talk • contribs) 10:29, 16 December 2006 And this website also tells the story of how the super bowl was named (see the Fun Facts section) http://www.ideafinder.com/history/inventions/superball.htm —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mazzmn (talk • contribs) 10:29, 16 December 2006

Quality[edit]

this page says hardly anything about the superball and should be updated needs mor info about the chemistry of the superball. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.217.207.161 (talk • contribs) 17:24, 23 January 2007

Case[edit]

Most of the references do not use the CamelCase form "SuperBall" but rather either "Super Ball" or "superball", I have tried to use the form matching the references in each case. DES ^(talk) 21:57, 5 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think these references are sources who have no vested interest in or concern for accuracy. rowley (talk) 05:06, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Wham-o's website lists the name of their product as "Superball". It always refers to it as "Superball". It shows "Superball" as the registered trademark of the product. It does not, ever, even once refer to it using the spelling "Super Ball". Wham-o's "opinion" of the name's spelling is the ONLY one that matters or is relevant or is documented at all. Our Wikipedia page ERRONEOUSLY gives an INCORRECT spelling as the preferred one. We are spreading misinformation. How soon are we going to correct this? rowley (talk) 06:40, 29 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Reference format[edit]

This article now uses list-defined references. This means that the details and metadata of all reference citations are collected in the references section, and each is identified by a reference name. Within the body of the article, citations are made with markup such as <ref name="fwhy" />. This format means that the details of the citation meta data do not clog the body of the article when editing. It also encourages proper reuse of citations.

Please retain this format when adding reference citations to this article, unless a consensus to change it is developed on this page. Thank you. DES ^(talk) 22:03, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Also, currently, all references are cited using citation templates. DES ^(talk) 22:03, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merger proposal[edit]

"Super Ball" is also a Genericised trademark. Any or all Bouncy balls are for all practical purposes "Super Balls"--Shirt58 (talk) 13:31, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

See discussion at Talk:Bouncy ball#Super Ball. ENeville (talk) 02:32, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Super ball" may be genericised, but "Superball" is a registered trademark belonging to Wham-O. I'm surprised and concerned that this article uses "super ball" or "Super Ball" throughout, instead of correctly stating the proper spelling of the product as one word (with or without the intercap), as can be verified easily by a visit to the Wham-O web site. rowley (talk) 05:01, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Games[edit]

I think it would be good if there was a list of games commonly played with the Super Ball Gymsport (talk) 06:30, 20 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The physical properties section[edit]

When a section is named "Physical Properties", I would expect to find a list of some measured physical properties, like density, modulus of elasticity, Poisson's ratio and the effect of temperature on those and especially the constant of restitution in this case. It seems, that since the article was written, the section has only been consisting of a few examples of experiments that have included a Super Ball but not any numeric data. Peteihis (talk) 18:13, 1 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Certainly seems like there's room for expansion here. I have always wondered, for example, why all the early Superballs were black. At some point, they became available in a wide variety of colors, including clear, but for the first few years they were all black. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.95.43.253 (talk) 00:03, 16 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
