Golf tee and practice ball assembly
A golf practice tee and ball assembly that includes a support tee member, a support frame member, and support hitter member that can be efficiently used to practice golf swings anywhere. The support tee member includes an external base with a spiked end and an internal receiving cavity with the internal receiving cavity including an o-ring gasket. The frame member is an L-Shaped rod with a first section of the rod having a convex knob formed thereon and a second section having a mounting hole at one end and the support hitter member at the other. The support hitter member includes a mounting section with an end of the mounting section mountable to the mounting hole of the second section of the L-Shaped rod and another sectional end having an impact absorbent ball. The L-Shaped rod can be placed into the support tee member by forcing the convex knob through the o-ring of the internal receiving cavity. The mounted support hitter member and L-Shaped rod is then revolvable about the support tee member.
PORTABLE ARM MOVEMENT EXERCISE DEVICE UTILIZING CENTRIPETAL AND REACTIVE CENTRIFUGAL FORCE PRINCIPLES
A device to strengthen a person's arm muscles through the utilization of a portable device including a handle portion and a weight component with the two components separated by a flexible rod is provided. Such a device allows for the user to grip the handle portion and act as if they are throwing such a handle portion while the weight end moves along an arc defined through the length of the flexible rod. The resultant action is the generation of centripetal force along the defined arc with the reactive centrifugal force providing resistance to the user's arm muscles in a manner that is unique and heretofore unattainable through the utilization of a portable exercise device. The flexible rod component provides at least 1 foot (100 cm) of spacing between the handle portion and the weight portion.
GOLF SWING TRAINING APPARATUS
Proposed herein is a golf swing training apparatus for providing sensations of hitting for golf swing practice. The golf swing training apparatus includes: a shaft body formed to a predetermined length, and configured such that a grip and a stopper are formed at both ends thereof, respectively, and a metal region is formed in a part thereof on a grip side thereof; an impact ball coupled to be movable along the longitudinal direction of the shaft body, configured to provide weight for the generation of a sensation of hitting, and provided with a plurality fitting slots; and a plurality of magnets configured to be detachably fitted into one or more of the fitting slots of the impact ball, configured to hold the impact ball to the metal region, and configured to allow the strength of the action of attraction to be adjusted.
Spherical Cage Pitch Training Device with Spinning Ball
The Spherical Cage Pitch Training Device with Spinning Ball is a pitch training device or apparatus in the form of a spinning ball that can simulate any ball requiring gripping by the hand. In use, it is attached to a three-dimensional resistance means. The purpose of the pitch training device is to provide strengthening, rehabilitation, and/or correct body motion mechanics training to improve pitching quality, speed, strength, and body mechanics. This enables training, exercising, and rehabilitation of proper body motion mechanics for improving the act of pitching and increasing the performance (speed and/or accuracy) of the act by enabling weighted ball training wherein the weight of the ball is connected to and maintained in the center of the ball and the center of mass of the weight is maintained in the center (physical, geometric, and/or dimensional) of the ball.
Baseball training device
The present invention relates generally to the field of baseball training devices. More specifically, the present invention relates to a baseball training device that is comprised of a base, first and second frame member, horizontal frame member, and vertical frame member that is further comprised of a baseball on each end. The vertical frame member rotates around the horizontal frame member and is stopped by a plurality of bristles that are fastened to the interior of the first and second frame members. When the rotation is stopped, one baseball is securely held within the bristles while the other baseball is teed up at the top of the device, allowing a user to strike the device indefinitely. Accordingly, the present disclosure makes specific reference thereto. Nonetheless, it is to be appreciated that aspects of the present invention are also equally applicable to other like applications, devices and methods of manufacture.
A BALL STRIKING TRAINING SIMULATOR
The present invention pertains to a ball-striking aid apparatus or simulator that includes a chassis for holding a ball and allowing rotation thereof, one or more sensors for detecting one or more ball stroke parameters and optionally a computing device being in communication with the one or more sensors and adapted to provide an input with respect to the one or more parameters.
Practice device
A practice device includes a base, a support tube, a post, an axle, a first ball rod, and a brake. The support tube extends upward from the base and has a support tube longitudinal axis. The post extends from the support tube and has a first portion and a second portion. The first portion is engaged with the support tube and the second portion includes a first arm. The axle is coupled to the first arm and has a rotation axis. The first ball rod is coupled to a first practice ball and extends between the first practice ball and the axle. The first ball rod is coupled to a first practice ball and extends between the first practice ball and the axle. The first ball rod is configured to rotate about the rotation axis of the axle and when the first ball rod rotates about the rotation axis of the axle, the first practice ball contacts the brake to slow rotation of the first ball rod.
SWING TRAINING APPARATUS
Various embodiments of a swing training apparatus are disclosed. The apparatus includes an adjustable base assembly having an adaptor adapted to connect the adjustable base assembly to a support and a rotating carrier connected to the support, a ball arm assembly connected to the support, and a casting indicator assembly connected to the rotating carrier. The casting indicator assembly includes a casting arm and a casting indicator connected to the casting arm proximate a second end of the casting arm. The casting indicator extends away from the casting arm along a casting indicator axis. The casting indicator includes bat contact indicators that extend away from an indicator base. Further, the indicator base is aligned with the casting indicator axis. Rotation of the rotating carrier relative to the adjustable base assembly causes corresponding rotation of the casting indicator assembly.
Portable arm movement exercise device utilizing centripetal and reactive centrifugal force principles
A device to strengthen a person's arm muscles through the utilization of a portable device including a handle portion and a weight component with the two components separated by a flexible rod is provided. Such a device allows for the user to grip the handle portion and act as if they are throwing such a handle portion while the weight end moves along an arc defined through the length of the flexible rod. The resultant action is the generation of centripetal force along the defined arc with the reactive centrifugal force providing resistance to the user's arm muscles in a manner that is unique and heretofore unattainable through the utilization of a portable exercise device. The flexible rod component provides at least 1 foot (100 cm) of spacing between the handle portion and the weight portion.
Table-tennis training apparatus and method thereof
A table-tennis training apparatus for training a player to apply spin to a table-tennis ball when using a racket to hit the ball. The table-tennis training apparatus has a ball holder for rotatably holding a table-tennis ball. When the ball thereon is hit by a racket, the ball holder pivots about an axis and an elastic structure coupled to the ball holder dampens the speed of the ball holder to prolong the contact time between the racket and the ball and consequently help the player to more clearly experience the feeling of applying spin to the ball and thus facilitate the player's training of applying spins to the ball.
