ABSTRACT:
A game played on an elevated, rectangular court. The game ball has a resilient core, preferably foam, that is covered by a thin layer of rubber which in turn is covered by a hard or soft plastic material. A transversely disposed net bisects the court mid-length thereof, and a dead space is provided on both sides of the net, adjacent therto, so that when the ball falls on such dead space it does not bounce well. The court surface is larger than and thus overhangs a base member having a height that substantially defines the height of the court. Racquet members are employed by the players of the game to effect reciprocation of the ball between the players, and the ball is put into play from behind a service line that is spaced from the elevated court. In a second embodiment, the core of the game ball is hollow.
