Unique Projects on Your Versacamm
!n 1988, I invented and patented a training basketball called Rite-Flite which is still being sold today. several years later, I designed it's Hi tech brother called the SpectraBall which the red & blue stripes turn purple with rotation. the downside to the ball is HS's, colleges, pro's love the ball but up until now they all were made overseas and rubber only. The versacamm and extremely thin materials now for the first time ever allow us to produce it in composite synthetic leather which opened up the biggest part of the market share we were missing!
I am confident no one else uses their Camm to make basketballs customized. We are also adding pad printing in the process for the small printing (inflate to, made in USA, etc) currently we are striping them on whatever ball type the school is using but are in the process of ordering in our Leader Sports brand.
Any other unique ways yours are being used. would love to see them.

Hey Rick, I am a tinkerer, but must say not to this extent. Good job and thanks for posting for now I must see how I can push the envelope.

I'm sure you will Irving. 17 years ago when I was promoting comedy basketball working with Meadowlark Lemon, we were so limited to our advertising and promoting. Man - if I had the equipment I have now we could of saved about 5,000.00 a game just on all the promo materials involved. Here is Meadowlark and myself at his home in Scottdale when our kids were young. My son in the picture is just turning 18. Wow

I am old enough to only say that I know who Meadowlark Lemon was and had the pleasure of watching him play when I was a kid.

Meadowlark seems ageless, off the court he is exceptionally quiet

That would be about a 10 hour drive today. Sure hope this weather goes away soon. Average for today is around 40.

No kidding! I imagine that you're in the snow belt and got dumped on pretty heavily...we only have about 4 inches.
Thermometer shows 13 degrees currently. Stinkin' cold!

What type of material did you use to put this on the ball? I'm giving my grandson a basketball for Christmas and would love to personalize it for him.
