Abstract:
A broom ball stick apparatus, comprising:a substantially bristleless broom ball head having a longitudinal axis;a singular substantially metallic and substantially hollow shaft having a handle region, a head region and shaft wall, said head region being inserted at least approximately 5/8th way into said head along the direction of said longitudinal axiswherein said head region of said shaft includes a tapered section in which portions of the shaft wall are bent towards cross-sectionally opposing portions of the shaft wall;the tapered section being characterized in that at a beginning of the tapered section, the cross-sectional configuration of the shaft defines a given cross-sectional area and at a more distal end of the tapered section, the cross-sectional configuration of the shaft is flatter and more linear due to the compression of at least one opposing shaft wall portion towards another.
