The disclosed wireless glove controlled soccer goal distributors consist of at least 1) ball return kicker motors, 2) a floor ball shute, 3) an air ball shute, 4) a wireless enabled glove and 5) a goal control screen. The main purpose of the Soccer Goal Distributors is to provide soccer players the ability to practice kicking goals without assistance. The disclosure automatically shoots soccer balls and gives users wireless control from a distance. The waterproof wireless hand glove controls the Soccer Ball Distributors and runs on DC batteries. From the screen on the wireless gloves, the user can utilize the buttons to control the height and speed of the ball released. The disclosure includes an airball and floor ball kicker and shute, a goal wireless control screen a soccer ball in door, a soccer ball supply bag stand and ball supply shute and an optional flexible soccer goal collector.

A golf course and method of play wherein players start by using a shooting device to shoot a ball from a tee area towards a target area located near a putting green. Once the ball lands the player proceeds to the landing spot to complete the hole by hitting the ball into a cup on the putting green using conventional golf clubs. The target area includes a ricochet wall and a target that has a bullseye. If the player hits the target the player's score is credited but if the player misses the target area entirely the player's score is penalized.

A ball pitching device including a launching surface for receiving balls, the launching surface being configured to receive and hold a ball in the launching position prior to the ball being launched, a launching system including at least one impulse mechanism configured to impact the ball in the launching position, and one or more control components configured to control at least one of a pitch power and a pitch trajectory of the ball launched from the launching position.

A baseball pitching machine that is configured to precisely index and spin a baseball before pitching the baseball. The machine comprises a baseball spinner and launcher that is configured to spin the baseball using at least one spindle, and then launch or pitch the ball using air (i.e., pneumatic). Preferably, the position of the ball spinner and launcher can be adjusted in terms of position in both the x and y directions (i.e., both side to side, and up and down), as well as its angle. The baseball pitching machine is configured to be controllable such that pitches (in terms of type, location and velocity) can be changed on a pitch-by-pitch basis.

A unique configuration is introduced herein for providing a ball machine pitching tip. A linear actuator is coupled to the disclosed ball tip herein having at least one member protruding outwardly from a base and radially positioned about a coupling aperture. Positioned selected frictional contact points configured to an inner surface of the at least one protruding member enables an imbalance of torque on the object as released from the gripping tip from a velocity provided by the linear accelerator. The result is the ability to provide a variety of flight patterns (spins) of a ball for a given sport.

There is provided a system for hydrodynamic and/or air levitation of an object, such as a ball by a stream of water, and a striking object for hitting the object, and a method of play comprising the system.

A basketball training apparatus includes a shot completion sensor, a condition sensor, and a computer. The shot completion sensor determines whether a shot goes through a basketball hoop. The condition sensor senses a physical condition of a basketball shooter. The computer is in communication with the shot completion sensor and the condition sensor, and has a processor for calculating shot completion percentage as a function of the physical condition.

A method can include providing an object having a size smaller than a size of a known regulation object, projecting the object, via a delivery device, toward a trainee, and training the trainee to follow the object. A method can include determining a game parameter of a game trajectory of a sports object that was projected along the game trajectory in a real-time sports event, and based on the game parameters, adapting a delivery device to deliver a training object along a training trajectory that mimics at least a portion of the game trajectory, with the training object being smaller than the sports object.

Disclosed herein is a propellent-driven golf club to launch a ball without requiring a swinging action on the propellent-driven golf club. Accordingly, the propellent-driven golf club may include a hollow shaft and a handle attached to the hollow shaft. Further, the propellent-driven golf club may include a golf club head assembly attached to the hollow shaft. Further, the golf club head assembly may include a rotary magazine configured to receive a reloadable wafer, the firing mechanism operationally coupled to the triggering device, a firing cylinder port configured to mate with at least a portion of the cartridge, a vortex generator, a range control mechanism comprising a range control valve fluidly coupled to an egress port of the chamber, a firing cylinder bore fluidly coupled to an outlet of the range control valve, and a piston movably disposed in the firing cylinder bore.
