The teams take it in turns to hit a small hard rubber ball or puck with a 2 metre long flexible pole like a cross between a fishing rod and a golf club. In order to make it easier to hit the ball it is placed on a curved metal rail. The ball which weighs 78g is known as a Hornuss or hornet on account of the noise it makes as it whizzes through the air at up to 300km per hour. The role of the opposing team is to try to catch the ball with wooden paddles known as Schindel. ...more on Wikipedia about "Hornussen"
