A hockey puck with a set of runners extending from the upper and lower surface thereof. The runners are movable with respect to the puck and as the puck hits the playing surface, one or more runners strike the playing surface and move slightly inwardly with respect to the puck, absorbing some of the shock of the puck hitting the playing surface. In this way, the puck tends to bounce less away from the playing surface.

Putting is a very important factor in golf playing. Above all, a putting distance feeling is the hardest to master, and many rounds in golf courses are said to be required for improving putting. Nevertheless, a putter mat is normally only 2- to 3-m long, and a carpet surface or the like that offers the same rolling as by golf greens is hardly available. Many smooth floor surfaces found in homes and firms cannot be used for putting practice due to excessive rolling of golf balls. It is an object of the present invention to eliminate these drawbacks. A ball implement for practicing golf putting is invented which includes a disc provided at the center thereof with a hole, and a main body having a cylindrical portion.

A practice hockey puck includes a puck body with an upper surface a lower surface and a generally flat side wall interconnecting the upper and lower surface. The lower surface of the puck body has a bore defined therein. A friction reducing cover has in inner surface and a generally flat outer surface. A connecting leg extends from the inner surface. The leg is disposed in the bore in the lower surface of the puck body so as to retain the inner surface of the puck cover adjacent to the lower surface of the puck body.

A street hockey puck (100) includes a main body (110) having opposing top and bottom sides (116, 118) and an outer periphery. A plurality of skid assemblies (200) are disposed around the outer periphery of the main body (110). The skid assemblies (200) each include opposing first and second skids (210, 212) having profiles that sit proud of the top and bottom sides (116, 118) of the main body (110), respectively. The first and second skids (210, 212) each include a pin (220) and a pin receiving recess (224). The pin (220) extends longitudinally through the main body (110), and has a distal end and a proximal end. The pin receiving recess (224) of the first skid (210) receives therein the distal end of the pin (220) extending from the second skid (212), and the pin receiving recess (224) of the second skid (212) receives therein the distal end of the pin (220) extending from the first skid (210).

A roller hockey puck having an outer shell of annular configuration, a central core positioned centrally interiorly of the outer shell, and a transition section extending from the central core to the outer shell. The transition section has a plurality of elliptical holes formed therein. The transition section has a top surface formed inwardly of a top planar surface of the outer shell. The transition section has a bottom surface formed inwardly of the bottom planar surface of the outer shell. The plurality of elliptical holes are uniformly spaced around the central core. The central core has a truncated spherical configuration with central axis aligned with a central axis of the outer shell. A plurality of runners are respectively received by a plurality of through bores formed in the outer shell. Each of the plurality of runners has a top surface extending outwardly of the outer shell. The outer shell, the central core and the transition section are integrally formed together of high density polyethylene material adapted to maintain a constant durometer between 30 degrees and 150 degrees Fahrenheit.
