Just based on the curve in the stick, I think it was used to play something in which the ball (or whatever) is near the ground. It doesn't make sense to have the hitting surface offset from the axis of control if you are trying to hit something up in the air, waist high or higher, like tennis or badminton. It only makes sense if you are trying to reach down and hit something near the ground and off to the side or in front.

So I'm with Rhys at least as to speculating on something that is used in a ground-based game. I would think that normal field hockey sticks would be okay for indoor use though. Unless they changed the ball for indoor use. Then there would be some need for a different stick.

Maybe it was something like hockey or whatever, but they used something like a tennis ball (but less bouncy and fast - this racquet head looks much too small to be able to use a tight fast ball).
