What is the bat made from?

The bat is a 2 foot long cardboard tube that has been reinforced with several layers of packing tape that give it extra weight and stiffness. After trials of several models this bat was selected as the optimal blend between performance and safety. Stiffer bats tend to impart too much energy onto the ball causing danger to office equipment and workers.

And the Ball?

The ball is one of those soft spongy stress balls. Selected to cause minimal damage even when hit well.
