Today the latest paddle in my growing collection arrived in the mail. It's the de-luxe version of the Fli-Back paddle. It has the same picture of a cowboy on a horse. hitting the ball with the paddle. The ball on the one I bought on eBay has long since been detached. It is painted red, and is a little longer, a little wider, and much thicker (7/16 inch) than the regular Fli-Back paddle. It weighs about 5 ounces, and packs quite a sting. I would guess it was made in the '50s or possibly the '60s. Has anyone heard of this version of the Fli-Back paddle before? I recently found out about it while browsing on eBay. |
