A game board and system is provided for hockey-type play and shooting skill development. The board comprises one or more target holes configured to be substantially prismatic in shape and impact the ability of a puck to pass through depending on its orientation when it reaches a target hole opening. Netting is used beneath target holes to receive pucks. Legs are used to prop the board up at an angle for game play and folded or detached for board storage and transport. To enhance game play, and render the system modular and lightweight the game board system can integrate framing elements and constructed using a variety of materials such as metals, wood-based products, plastic, and fabric. In one configuration the game board system includes metal framing fitted with netting and attached to the underside of the game board to configure the target holes as miniature hockey nets.

The disclosure herein is directed to a gaming system that comprises a game board, a field position indicator, a line of scrimmage stick, projectiles, and a method of play involving these components. The game board can be configured to hinge at a location that is conducive for storage.

A stroke decision device 30 includes an acquisition section 31 configured to acquire state information including a position, a velocity, and a rotational velocity of an incoming ball, and a stroke decision section 32 configured to decide a stroke condition including a position, a velocity, and an orientation of a striking implement at a time point when hitting back the ball toward a target arrival position, based on the state information for the ball and the target arrival position when hitting back the ball with the striking implement.

A finger flicking football game board comprises a planar table surface having a plurality of apertures, each aperture designed to hold a beer pong-sized cup, and a pair of goal posts at a rear end of the planar table surface through which a miniaturized football must be flicked for scoring as an extra point AFTER the miniaturized football has been flicked from a first planar table surface into one of the cups in the apertures of an opposing player's planar table surface. A method of playing this finger flicking football game, preferably to 42 points or greater, is also disclosed.

A table tennis table includes a table top and a base assembly. The base assembly includes legs that are adjustably spaced so that the base assembly has an adjustable length and an adjustable width. Each leg includes a telescoping pole that extends between a table pad and a floor pad. One or more struts extend from each leg to adjacent legs along the length and the width of the base assembly. The adjustable legs may be used to configure the base assembly between a collapsed configuration and an expanded configuration which has a greater length and width than the collapsed configuration. When the base assembly is configured in the expanded configuration, the legs of the base assembly may be used to support the table top to create a to playing surface for table tennis.

The present invention relates to a device for training and correcting table tennis strokes. The invention comprises: a physical pendulum assembly (20), pendulum axel/pivot assembly (30), ball/axel assembly (50), serve practice assembly (40), table tennis ball/axel assembly (50), mounting bracket/clamp assembly (70) and mounting member 60a. The table tennis training device allows a user to develop their table tennis strokes by tangentially striking the table tennis ball of table tennis ball/axel assembly (50), or by rotating physical pendulum assembly (20) approximately 180 degrees and striking a user supplied table tennis ball off of table tennis ball tee (20j). The invention also allows a user to removably secure either, table tennis ball/axel assembly (50), or the table tennis ball tee (20j) into the unattached end of serve practice assembly (40) in order to practice striking a table tennis ball at various heights above a table tennis table.
