It is an extremely elastic ball made of Zectron, which contains the synthetic rubber polymer polybutadiene, vulcanized with sulfur at a temperature of 165 degrees Celsius and at a pressure of 80 atmospheres. The Super Ball has an amazingly high coefficient of restitution. Dropped from shoulder level, Super Ball snapped nearly all the way back; thrown down, it could leap over a three-story building. <br /> <br />After watching his kids play with a Super Ball, Lamar Hunt, founder of the American Football League, coined the term Super Bowl. <br /></i> <br />_Wikipedia Tue, 12 Feb 2008 12:27:02 +0000 http://wordie.org/words/super%20ball#comments
