Abstract:
A two-handed paddle ball game, and a paddle for playing the game, are disclosed. The game is normally played by two players, standing in spaced-apart courts. The courts are defined by stretching a cord around a set of pegs. The players hold paddles in both hands, and may strike the ball with either paddle. The serving player scores a point by causing the ball to hit the ground within the opposing player's court, or by causing the ball to hit the ground outside the opposing court after the opposing player has touched the ball. Only the server can score a point; when the non-serving player hits the ball onto the ground within the server's court, the serve is awarded to the non-serving player. The invention also includes a paddle for playing the game. The paddle has a handle, into which the user's hand is inserted.
