Abstract
A skill toy that is juggled, spun, and otherwise manipulated with one hand. The ball construct is joined to a finger loop with a tether. The tether has a length that is between ten centimeters and fifteen centimeters. This enables the tether to wrap around half a user'"'"'s hand from the center of the back of the hand to the palm. The diameter of the ball construct and the unique length of the tether enable the toy to be rapidly juggled in a novel manner.
