They are called 'Chuckits', after the company that manufactures them and probably holds a patent. They are ball launchers for dogs. Made of flexible plastic they can throw a ball from what I have seen as far as 200 feet. You hold it above your head, swing it, and the ball, usually a tennis ball, flies. The dog runs after it to fetch it. (Not my dog!)
How about a new Olympic sport? Without the dog, needless to say. The launcher and the ball would have to be standardized, some reasonable rules invented, and off we go. Sportsmen of all ages, I imagine, could participate.
