The internal bladder (10) is spherical and hollow and is filled with compressed air.
The inner fabric layer (20) is ventilative and soft, may be made of cotton, is mounted around the internal bladder (10) and allows air (21) existing inside or outside the inner fabric layer (20) to pass through the inner fabric layer (20).

The outer fabric layer (40) is ventilative and soft, may be made of cotton, is mounted around the reinforcing layer (30) and allows air (41) inside or outside the outer fabric layer (40) to pass through the outer fabric layer (40).
The external cover layer (50) is made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or polyurethane (PU) and is mounted around the outer fabric layer (40).
When the ball is hit, the external cover layer (50) is depressed to compress the air (41) between the external cover layer (50) and the outer fabric layer (40). The compressed air (41) inward passes through the outer fabric layer (40) and depresses the reinforcing layer (30). The depressed reinforcing layer (30) then compresses the air (21) between the reinforcing layer (30) and the inner fabric layer (20) to inward pass through the inner fabric layer (20). After a second, the air (21, 41) inside the inner and outer fabric layers (20, 40) would outward pass through the inner and outer fabric layers (20, 40) in order to achieve the pressure balance between inside and outside spaces adjacent to each of the inner and outer fabric layers (20, 40). The air (21, 41) reciprocally passing through the inner and outer fabric layers (20, 41) makes the ball highly elastic, soft and deformable.
The ball with the ventilative inner and outer fabric layers (20, 40) is highly elastic, soft and deformable so the feel of hitting the ball is fine and comfortable. Furthermore, the reinforcing layer (30) with the foam rubber (32) is firm and makes the ball durable.
