ABSTRACT:
An electronic paddle game device includes a paddle having a ball striking surface and a hand-gripable handle. A plurality of impact sensors are positioned about the impact surface of the paddle for selective impacting by an object such as a ball struck by the impact surface. An electronic audible output signal generating circuit generates an audible output signal to a speaker when an impact sensor senses impact with an object. The paddle may also carry light emitting devices for visually indicating that an impact target has been struck. A ball is preferably tethered to the paddle. The paddle includes a handle that is adapted to store the ball during non-use. A counter and LCD display may be provided to generate and visually display a score based on impacts sensed by the impact sensors.
