An athletic paddle training apparatus 10 includes an elongate handle portion 20, a coupling region 30 at a distal end 22 of the paddle portion, and a game play head 40 operatively coupled with the handle portion 20 at the coupling region 30. The elongate handle portion is configured to be gripped by an associated user. The game play head 40 has first 46 and second 48 game play regions on opposite first 42 and second 44 sides thereof. The first game play region 46 defines a substantially planar first game play surface 56 on the first side 42 and the second game play region 48 defines a substantially spherical second game play surface 58 on the second side 44 of the game play head 40. In an example embodiment, the second game play surface 58 has a likeness of a #5 soccer ball.

Affordable, metallicized objects having increased strength where metallicizing imparts superior strength to a wooden bat (or other objects) reducing or eliminating breakage and/or splintering of an object when impacted by a ball if a bat and/or by general use if the object is other than a bat. Metallicized wooden bats reduce or eliminate potential lethal hazards often imparted to a ball when hit by aluminum bats. Additionally, the gripping area of the bat, or other object, is provided with an extremely durable, water repellent, sure-grip gripping surface that is achieved by ultra-violet radiation curing of an ultraviolet-curable coating applied over polymeric fibers placed on the gripping surface. All handles or gripping surfaces, including handles on sports, work, household, and medical equipment, and the like, ladder rungs, bar bells gripping surfaces, and even aluminum bats, for example, would benefit from such an innovative gripping surface.

An end configuration for a bat includes in one embodiment an end cap that has a base that is shaped to fit within the open end of the bat thereby to attach the end cap to the bat. The end cap also includes a convexly contoured end surface that is exposed when the end cap is attached to the bat. The end surface is roughened to reduce the aerodynamic drag when the bat is swung, thereby to increase the momentum of the bat for a given amount of force applied to swing the bat.

A bat in the form of a sleeve can be slid over the hand of a player so that the latter can play as in tennis, on any type of ground, with or without a bounce on the ground. The bat (1) comprises an upper sleeve element (5) and a lower sleeve element (6) joined along an edge (7) wherein an opening (10) is provided for inserting the hand. Each sleeve element is more rigid in a flat central portion (11, 12) forming a striking surface than close to its periphery. The bat envelops and holds the hand due to its inherent elasticity. It may also comprise retaining means (13) on the surface and closure devices to each side of the wrist.

Articles of play comprising a racket having a handle portion and a hitting portion integrally formed together, the hitting portion including a hollow annular frame body and a hitting surface which is firmly secured in and highly tensioned by the hollow annular frame body so that a high tension hitting surface with a resonating sound box inside the hollow annular frame body and the handle portion is thus formed when a ball member is hit by the tension hitting surface, a sound like the durm beat is produced.

This invention relates to an improvement in a paddle game. Specifically, the pair of paddles used in the game are configured to mesh to form a convenient toting and storage configuration. The surface that comes in contact with the ball is tapered to control the response to the impact of a ball.
