Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a paddle device and more particularly to a handheld paddle device with a wrist stabilizer.

BACKGROUND

There are many games which require hitting a ball or other object with a paddle. These games include tennis, racket ball or other such sport. With the growing popularity of ball games which a ball or other game projectile is struck by a paddle, various paddle configurations have been developed to provide better control of the ball during play. Conventional paddles commonly use a flat panel, which is fixed to a handle. A player's fingers wrap around the handle to hold the paddle in a bat-like manner. This configuration provides marginal ball control as the player swings the paddle at the ball. Players often wrap their hand around the flat panel to obtain more direct control of the ball. The disadvantage to using conventional paddles in this way is that the transition from forehand to backhand is difficult. Furthermore, a paddle may be needed in order to steer and propel a watercraft or other device.
From nearly the beginning of time there has been the use of a paddle that is used to propel a water vessel across the seas. A paddle typically consists a handle, shaft and a blade which allows a person to propel the water craft forward by efficiently pushing the water backwards, which then, delivers an opposite forward force which propels the water craft.

SUMMARY

An exercise device for exercising may include a blade section for resistance movement in a fluid, a handle section to connect to the blade section to hold the exercise device with a hand of the user and a wrist section to connect to the handle section to guide the exercise device with the wrist of the user.

The blade section may include a second convex surface at the distal end of the blade section.
The blade section may include a first concave surface at the proximate end of the blade section.
The blade section may include a second concave surface at the proximate end of the blade section.
The handle section may include a first discontinuous back wall.
The wrist section may include a first rear ward extending arm connected to the first discontinuous back wall.
The handle section may include a second discontinuous back wall.
The wrist section may include a second rear ward extending arm connected to the second discontinuous back wall.
The wrist section may include a concave curved arm connected to the first rearward arm.
The concave curved arm may be substantially perpendicular to the first rearward arm.
The fluid may be air.
The fluid may be water.
