The invention relates to a rubber-like ball having an elastic fabric attached thereto. The ball is thrown by grasping the elastic fabric at a point distant from the ball and swinging the ball in a circular motion by the elastic fabric and subsequently releasing the elastic fabric resulting in the ball and the elastic fabric becoming a catchable projectile. The elastic fabric is fixed to the ball by inserting the same into a hole in the ball such that the fabric assumes a U-shape therein, wherein a bottom of the "U" is substantially flush with an outer forward surface of the ball.
