Abstract: A ball throwing device includes a shaft having first and second ends and a ball holder formed on the first end of the shaft. The ball holder has first and second U-shaped pieces that define four curved finger elements and are arranged perpendicular to one another. In one embodiment, the shaft and the ball holder are made of bamboo. A cork handle is formed on the second end of the shaft. The ball throwing device can be combined with a hang card to form a display package. The hang card has a mounting aperture formed therein through which the shaft extends so that the ball holder abuts the hang card.
