ABSTRACT:
A preferred embodiment, a ball launcher/catcher for a stick and ball game, including: an elongate base member having proximal and distal ends and an upper surface; a handle portion disposed at the proximal end of the base member; a first part of a hook-and-loop fabric system disposed on at least the upper surface of the distal end of the base member; and a padded intermediate portion disposed on the upper surface of the base member intermediate the proximal and distal ends of the base member. The game is played by adhering to the distal end of the base member a ball covered with a second part of the hook-and-loop fabric system; then, a first player grasping the handle portion in one hand and rotating the first ball launcher/catcher rearwardly; and then, the first player rapidly rotating the first ball launcher/catcher forwardly and whacking the intermediate portion against the heel of the first player's other hand, such as to transfer momentum to the ball, thereby separating the ball from the distal end of the first ball launcher/catcher and launching the ball in the air.
