Abstract
A game racquet for propelling and catching a ball. The racquet includes a frame and a handle extending from the frame. A first net is attached to the frame so that it can be stretched relative to the frame to propel a ball when the stretched net is released. A ball receiving pocket is formed as part of the first net. A second net is attached to the frame in a nonstretchable relative inside the first net. The second net is formed of a smaller mesh to prevent a caught ball from passing through or bouncing out of the first net. An elongated arm engaging support is pivotally mounted on the frame for rotation between an arm engaging position in which the support extends away from the racquet and a storage position in which the support is folded against the racquet.
