A broom which is particularly constructed to be used for a broom ball game and to provide relatively improved performances. In particular, this broom is balanced to be biased in the hands of the user toward self stabilization in the proper angular position to strike the ball, the bundle-like portion of the broom is more economically and readily made of rubber and is provided with apertures to offer reduced air resistance during a stroke, to accelerate heat curing of the rubber body, and to produce a predetermined weight unbalance between two opposite sides of the rubber body relative to the handle. This broom includes a stick, the bundle-like rubber body fixed at one end of the stick, and the rubber body transversely tapers and has cutting lines to selectively cut the bottom edge at a preferred angle in relation with the height of the user.
A broom for a broom ball game comprising a substantially straight stick having a tapered end portion, an elongated ball striking body having opposite main faces with substantially all of each main face being substantially flat, said main faces progressively widening from one end to the other end of said body, said body having a blind bore extending longitudinally and centrally through a major portion of said body, opening at said one end of said body and complementary to said tapered end portion, the latter securely fitted within said blind bore, said other end of said body forming an outer edge which has at least a substantially straight portion which extends transverse to the longitudinal axis of said stick, said ball striking body being molded in a one piece from a non-filamentary, moldable substance.
