diameter. The paddle face is 10'' from tip to the top of the handle. The
handle portion is approximately 5'' long. The total dimensions are
approximately 15'' long. The paddle is covered with nylon Velcro on both
sides. One side of the paddle may have 12 or more circles, while the
alternate side may contain the image of a baseball diamond with the word
"strike on areas around the circles of the bases. The Velcro ball is
approximately
2.5" in diameter. The object of the game is to toss the
ball in an upward movement and let the ball drop onto the face of the
paddle and hit the target of circles. The circles may be numbered 1-12 or
more, the player then attempts to hit each circle number in order. When
the player misses a sequential circle number, the turn is over and the
next player begins. The first player will resume from the last number hit
on his prior turn. The first player will resume from the last number hit
on his prior turn. The first player to successfully hit every circle
within the sequence is declared the winner. The opposite side of the
paddle allows the players to attempt to hit the base numbers
sequentially. Each circle missed is considered a strike. Three strikes
and you're out for that inning. When the player the player reaches home

plastic can also be considered. The Piddle Paddle can be constructed of
durable, lightweight materials such as wood or plastic and the paddle
should be weighted properly to make the game competitive.
