Shoot. Great minds think alike. One note, you'd probably want to deflect hits into space rather than absorb them.

It would be the world's largest ever game of Pong.

why not deflect them into the atmosphere to burn up?

Yeah, especially in LEO / MEO. In GEO towards space seems like a better bet though.

Though dead satellites in GEO make a lot more news.
