paddleball

Perforated racket sport

Paddleball is a racquet sport played with a solid paddle and a rubber ball against a wall, similar to racquetball or handball.

The term also refers to a children's toy consisting of a small paddle attached by an elastic string to a rubber ball—the object being to hit the ball repeatedly without missing: She got a paddleball in her Easter basket.
