ABSTRACT:
A multifaceted racquet for use in volleying type games such as racquetball, handball and the like, includes plural, spaced apart surfaces with a handle extending between the surfaces. The surfaces are preferably strung in a manner similar to a tennis racquet or the like, to provide greater resiliency. The plural surfaces may form a polyhedron, with the polyhedron having one side open for access to the handle within. Preferably, each of the surfaces is of the same size and shape and spaced equidistantly from the central handle, in order to reduce the number of variables involved in use. Each of the peripheries of the surfaces is preferably substantially circular in form, although other shapes may be provided as desired. The handle preferably passes through the geometric center of the device, in order to reduce or eliminate non-symmetrical forces when a projectile is struck squarely. The frame of the apparatus may be formed of any of a number of materials, from wood and metal to synthetics and plastics and synthetic fiber materials. The multifaceted racquet provides a striking surface at least approximately aligned for virtually any projectile trajectory, thus reducing the risk of undue arm or wrist twisting which may occur using a conventional racquet, and allowing faster reaction times, particularly for difficult shots.
