Abstract

A device for propelling a game ball on a game surface includes an actuator arm which is manually depressible with a finger of a user for pivoting a pivot arm to engage the game ball and to thereby propel it on the game surface. The device further includes a restricting housing which extends around the actuator arm for limiting the degree of finger movement in a direction away from the actuator arm and for thereby limiting the amount of momentum which can be imparted to the pivot arm with the actuator arm.
