Filipino Inventor of “Arm Ball Scoop” Says Everyone Can Play

Secaucus, New Jersey - Filipino inventor Chris Deguzman called his reinvented game, the newest sport of the millennium.

First sold in 2008, the “Arm Ball” is a catch- and- throw game similar to the popular Pinoy sport Jai-Alai. The Jai-Alai uses the cesta, a long wicker basket tied to one arm, to catch and throw the ball.

Deguzman designed and fabricated “Arm Ball Scoops” made out of lighter plastic materials compared to Jai-Alai’s bulky cesta. The scoop is manufactured in the Philippines.

To play the Arm Ball, the player must hurl the ball directly to the front wall and the opponent player should catch the rebound ball and return it back to the wall.

A Jai Alai player himself since he was child, Deguzman said Jai Alai can be dangerous so he invented a safer alternative.

Deguzman pointed out, “It’s safer than Jai-Alai because Jai-Alai uses a solid hard ball when thrown in high speed could hurt players. Jai-Alai’s cesta is quite heavy that even adult players have a hard time swinging it. Even more so for smaller kids, they won’t be able to swing a cesta. That’s the main reason why I developed that gadget – for kids.”

His Arm Ball Scoop uses a rubber ball instead, similar to the balls used in handball and racquetball.

An occupational therapist by profession, Deguzman said he invested 10 years of research and study to create the perfect scoop using his knowledge in Kinesiology and Physics.

He said that playing Arm Ball using his high-tech scoop is not only fun but it has many health benefits as well.

Deguzman added, “It develops eye-hand coordination, balance or control, especially your shoulder control, give you endurance and upper extremities strength.”

He also said that he found out that kids who play this game develops better shoulder control, that seems to develop better hand-writing.
