Haddle

Abstract

The present invention is a hand-attached paddle for playing Pickleball or beach tennis, with a surface area of 9.2″×10″ and thickness of 0.9″. The paddle has no handle, instead using a rear support system comprised of a silicon loop for the middle finger and a Velcro strap for the wrist. The paddle is sculpted to conform to the shape of the user's hand and has a textured pattern for increased grip. The securing means is detachable for ease of cleaning and maintenance. The paddle is designed for Pickleball-style games, such as PaddleZlam and beach tennis. This invention provides a more ergonomic and comfortable alternative to traditional paddle handles, allowing for increased wrist and forearm rotation, enhanced grip and control, and reduced interference with the user's shot.
