A ball throwing device including a lower handle portion, a middle lever portion, and a head portion. The middle lever portion may include a plurality of latitudinal bends positioned between the lower handle portion and the head portion. Additionally and/or alternatively, the head portion may include a half-spherical cup configured to releasably retain a ball, the half-spherical cup having a plurality of edge lobes configured to flex over an outside diameter of the ball.

Embodiments of the disclosure can relate to systems and methods for sorting balls. The systems and methods may involve the use of a ball-feeding mechanism for receiving one or more balls, and feeding the one or more balls to a projection element. The projection element may be located beneath the ball-feeding mechanism such that the balls drop from the ball-feeding mechanism to the projection element, and the balls then project from the projection element to a ball-sorting apparatus. The balls may then subsequently be sorted into a sorting container of one or more sorting containers based on the projected height of the ball.

A ball tossing assembly for game play includes a rod having a bottom end, a top end and a perimeter surface extending between the top and bottom ends. The perimeter surface includes a front side, a back side, a first lateral side and a second lateral side. The rod comprises a resiliently bendable material. A basket is attached to the front side and is positioned adjacent to the top end. The basket has a bottom wall and a perimeter wall extending upwardly from the bottom wall. A top side of the basket is open for receiving a ball. The depression is positioned between the basket and the bottom end. The rod is grippable adjacent to the bottom end and the top end flexed rearwardly above the depression to create forward biased tension at a bend point above the depression.

An exercise apparatus includes an adjustable frame being attachable to an assistive ambulation device. The adjustable frame includes removable handles, fitting arms located on a lower portion of the adjustable frame to receive a fitness attachment, and attachment points on located on the lower portion of the adjustable frame to couple a resistance device. A jump rope trainer includes a handle; flexible tubing including a handle fastener to connect the handle to the flexible tubing; and a soft sphere shaped object. The flexible tubing includes a soft sphere shaped object fastener to connect the soft sphere shaped object to the flexible tubing.

A handheld device for launching a projectile and methods of use thereof are herein disclosed. The device includes an elongated shaft, a sling retaining member, and a sling. A portion of the sling slidably couples with the sling retaining member such that it uncouples, in use, when the elongated shaft is swung. The device can be used, in lieu of a golf club, to play the sport of golf in a unique manner.

A game stick for use with a golf ball, the game stick including a shaft having a proximal end, a distal end, and a longitudinal axis extending between the proximal end and the distal end and a head coupled to the distal end of the shaft. The head has a first sidewall, a second sidewall, and a bottom wall defining a channel extending radially from the longitudinal axis, the channel configured to receive the golf ball. The game stick further includes surface disposed on an exterior surface of the head, the striking surface being comprised of a different material than the head.

Provided is a pet accessory comprising a leash having a distal end configurable to engage an animal and further defining a finger loop, with a proximal end defining a handle. Also included is an elastic resiliently deformable cradle shaped and configured for operatively receiving a ball therein, the cradle configured so that the leash is slidably receivable through at least a portion of an outer periphery thereof so that folding the leash about the outer periphery engages the ball in the cradle, wherein the pet accessory is usable to lead an animal and as a sling to cast the ball.

The present invention is a toy launcher system. A lightweight projectile has an exterior surface symmetrically disposed about an imaginary longitudinal axis and is generally spool-shaped. The launcher is composed of a shaft to which a flexible curled band is attached. The flexible curled band holds the projectile within its curvature. When the launcher is rotated by a user using a general throwing motion the band uncurls, thereby launching the projectile into flight.
