A striking subassembly has lower and upper components. The lower component has a hemispherical lower section and a cylindrical upper section. A chamber within the lower component terminates above with an annular projection. The upper component has upper and lower disks. An annular recess is between the upper and lower disks offset from the annular projection. Feathers extend upwardly from the upper disk. An electrical assembly has a printed circuit board with a periphery. The periphery is secured within the chamber to the upper component. A light emitting diode extends downwardly from the printed circuit board. A battery powers the light emitting diode.

Embodiments of the invention relate to throwable toys such as shuttles and balls. In some of the illustrative embodiments a shuttle includes means to determine information relating to the throw or state of motion of the shuttle, and means to convey an audio information signal to a user during the throw.

A tailgating game assembly including a first platform, a second platform, a projectile a first deformable target, a second deformable target, a third deformable target, and a club. In use, the club is used to hit the projectile off of the platform towards the three deformable targets. The game is meant to simulate the chipping aspect of golf. The club included in the assembly is capable of height adjustment, and is suitable for both right and left handed competitors. The projectile included may be a golf ball, a shuttlecock, or any projectile suitable to strike with a club.
