Abstract: |
The hitting mitt comprises a flexible pad structure formed into a tube shape having opposite end openings and including a hole formed through the side wall of the tube shape. A person can insert either his right or left hand into one of the end openings and orient the tube shape so that his thumb can extend through the hole with his fingers extending out the opposite end opening, the pad covering both the palm and back of his hand. The hitting mitt provides protection while playing volleyball, four square, tether ball and many other games.
