Well actually the flyswatter was optimized to be the perfect thing for its intended use, and works way better than a newspaper or your hand. This is because the holes in the screen let the air through so it moves faster and is less detectable to the fly. Also, the handle and/or screen are somewhat springy to provide acceleration, and the overall size of the screen is just small and light enough to be fast, but big and heavy enough to easily catch and kill the fly. I think fly swatters used to be made from wood and metal and were somewhat expensive, then the plastic ones came out and were cheap enough for everyone to buy. Having said all that, I still don't own one and just use the nearest newspaper or magazine. But I suppose I'd get one if I lived somewhere with lots of flies.

Fly swatting is a most rewarding form of sport.
