Abstract
A ball may include a spherical shell, and apertures defined in the spherical shell. The apertures may be formed in the spherical shell based at least in part on a N-frequency tessellation of the spherical shell. A method of forming a ball may include molding a first hemisphere, molding a second hemisphere, and coupling the first hemisphere to the second hemisphere to form a spherical shell. The spherical shell may include apertures defined in the spherical shell based at least in part on a N-frequency tessellation of the spherical shell.

A method of forming a ball, comprising:
- molding a first hemisphere;
- molding a second hemisphere;
- and
- coupling the first hemisphere to the second hemisphere to form a spherical shell,
- wherein the spherical shell comprises apertures defined in the spherical shell based at least in part on a N-frequency tessellation of the spherical shell, and the apertures are disposed at an intersection of line segments that form the N-frequency tessellation, and the line segments include a least a first line segment having a first length and a second line segment having a second length that is different than the first length.
