ABSTRACT:
This invention is essentially a toss and catch game, for recreation, exercise, sport, physical therapy, socialization, relaxation, enjoyment, or the like, or any combination thereof, in which a hand-held propel and catch device is utilized by one player to toss a projectile to another player, who catches the projectile with a like propel and catch device by making contact therewith. A cushioned portion of the upper propel and catch device is substantially covered with one component and the projectile is substantially covered with the other component of a two component fastening system, whereby the components are releasably adherent to each other upon contact. In the preferred embodiment, the propel and catch device includes an elongated, flexible handle which facilitates release of the projectile therefrom when sufficient manual motion is applied by a player in the act of tossing the projectile while gripping the lower handle area of the propel and catch device, while the projectile is spherical and of the necessary size, weight, shape, structure, and composition to facilitate its release from, travel to, and adherence with the propel and catch device of the opposing player.
