A Super Ball or Superball is a toy bouncy ball based on a type of synthetic rubber invented in 1964 by chemist Norman Stingley. It is an extremely elastic ball made of Zectron, but they turned it down because the material was not very durable. So Stingley took it to toy company Wham-O; they worked on developing a more durable version which they still manufacture today.
