This slingshot toss game was inspired by a kind of flying squirrel that glides across the sky and then lands in its mother’s pouch. It was named after an Aboriginal word for those creatures, too.
Each Djubi racket has a soft mesh net for catching the foam balls and a hook on top to launch them. Slip the ball’s latex loop over the hook then pull, point, and watch it fly as far as 100 feet.
Djubi (which has a silent “d”) feels both fresh and familiar. Take turns slinging or change it up and invent your own rules. When we tested it here we came up with a version called “Freeze Djubi” where you have to stay in the same place to catch and launch.
It’s like your classic game of catch, but 2.0.
