Abstract
A grip for catching a ball easily catches a rubber ball or a basket ball with a smooth surface as well as catching a rough ball with fluff. The ball-catching grip includes a frame formed long in a vertical direction; a handle formed back side of the frame so as to be gripped by a user; a pair of ball-catching pockets rotatably combined at the front side of the frame, for being rotated to put together from an unfolded state in both directions to catch a ball; a pocket interworking unit provided between the pair of ball-catching pockets so that one ball catching pocket is rotated, the other ball-catching pocket is simultaneously rotated; an operating unit installed at the front side of the frame for maintaining unfolded state of the ball-catching pocket, and at the same time, releasing the unfolding state of the ball-catching pocket when a thrown ball collides therein; an elastic unit formed between the frame and the ball-catching pocket for providing an elasticity in the direction that the pair of ball-catching pockets put together. When a user pulls to unfold one ball-catching pocket with one hand while catching the handle with another hand, the other ball-catching pocket is simultaneously unfolded. Thus, the user can easily unfold the both ball-catching pockets simultaneously, and even children can easily use it.
