Claim 1
Independent Claim
132 words
In a battle sport game, a bat comprising (a) an axially elongated body consisting essentially of lightweight, resiliently compressive material, (b) a handle at one end of the body, and (c) flexible connecting structure extending internally of the body and projecting therefrom, for interconnecting the handle and body, said flexible connecting structure comprising an elongated rubber tube projecting a substantial distance into said elongated body, and also projecting into said handle, (d) and a protective flexible sleeve extending about the rubber tube both within the handle and within the body, the sleeve bridging the junction between the handle and body and terminating a short distance into the body to allow the rubber tube projecting beyond the sleeve in the body to bend laterally with the body and define a corresponding bent position.
