English term or phrase: ball with a guard

M
onte San Savino is the land of the pallone col bracciale (ball with a guard) champions; a sport that few people know elsewhere but that nobody has forgotten here. In this little town in Arezzo, the game also called palla grossa (big ball), is still practiced. It's a historic sport that has been played since the 16th century. Tournaments were held between Monte San Savino, Arezzo, Faenza and Poggibonsi.

The tradition is still alive today. It is the subject on everyone’s lips when matches are being held with the results even being published in the local newspapers. Many books have been written about pallone col bracciali, with particular attention paid by the people of Monte San Savino. First of all, for those who have never seen it, the game vaguelyresembles tennis. The players throw the large leather ball by hitting it with a large guard which has wooden slats tucked around their wrist. It is a sport that requires a lot of strength given that the oak wood guard weighs a few pounds and the handstitched leather ball weighs about 300-400 grams. The equipment is made by artisans who hand down the secrets through the generations.

لعبة كرة مضرب الإِسوار الخشبي

Explanation:
لعبة كرة مضرب الإسوار الخشبي
* هذه ترجمتي لهذه اللعبة *

الإسوار الخشبي قفاز مجوف يلبس على المعصم أو اسطوانه خشبية عليها بروزات مدببة
وهذه الاسطوانة تلبس باليد على المعصم لذلك فهي كالإسوار
لماذا الترجمة الانكليزية ترجمت السوار على انه واقي او حامي لان الكرة ليست خفيفة وضربها بمعصم اليد ليست سهلة لذلك المترجم الانكليزي ترجم الإسوار على انه حامي او حماية اي انه ترجم معنى فائدة هذا الإسوار

In English
My advice to ignore the English text and translate it direct from the Italian text because is clearer.

The English text translated the 'bracciale " into guard. Maybe because the translator considered the safety function of the wooden cylinder or the hollow wooden glove as protection for the wrist from the heavy ball.

Please see this short youtube video to get better idea about the wooden bracelet and the ball:

Notes to answerer

كرة مع سوار

Explanation:
Since the name in English is a literal translation of the Italian name, why not translate literally from the origin. "bracciale" means bracelet, it's the large wooden "wrist guard" visible in the picture below

If you have to translate from English, you can say (كرة مع واقي (واقي المعصم because that's what guard means here
