Striking with Implements is a fundamental motor skill that uses a swinging pattern in horizontal or vertical planes with the use of a long or short handled implement. The implements used to accomplish these swings vary from bats to hockey sticks to golf clubs to paddles, yet all focus on the underlying challenge of coordinating hands and eyes when striking.
