The reflective material is fashioned as particles from aluminized polyester, aluminum foil, Metalflake.COPYRGT. Paint, or holographic film. In the preferred embodiment the material is incorporated into a clear coat applied to the cover. In alternative embodiments, the material is incorporated in or on the resin cover or in a paint applied to the resin cover and then protected with a clear finish coat. The percentage of surface of the ball covered with the reflective material may vary, preferablly in a range of 5% to 75% of the surface area, depending upon the light reflective properties desired.
