STICK, IN PARTICULAR FOR STREET HOCKEY

摘要

A racket for a ball to be hit and guided at the ground includes a frame of an oval shape and surrounding a central opening through the frame. The frame has opposite arcuate-shaped top and bottom portions being oppositely curved away from another and opposite arcuate-shaped lateral end portions extending between the top and bottom portions and being oppositely curved away from one another so as to provide the frame with the oval shape. The racket also includes a striking face mounted to the frame and extending across the central opening thereof and an elongated shaft joined with the frame at one of the arcuate-shaped lateral end portions thereof and extending from the frame in a generally tangential relationship to the frame. The striking face has a pair of opposite sides. The frame at the bottom portion thereof has a bottom surface and opposite inner faces adjacent to the bottom surf ace being concavely shaped and converging with the opposite sides of the striking face and with the bottom surface of the frame to form therewith a sharply cornered angle. The bottom portion of the frame is wider than the top portion thereof in cross section so as to reinforce the bottom portion of the frame to withstand coming into contact with the ground during play.
