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.

Feedback-Based Swing Trainer
20220105407 · 2022-04-07 · ·

A swing training device for baseball, softball, golf players, and potentially racquet sports players that provides feedback as to where the ball is hit. The swing training device comprises a first vertical member rigid and columnar in form connecting to a first horizontal member, being rod-like in form, at a first end. A second end of the first horizontal member comprises a ball-shaped end connecting with a swivel joint to a second vertical member. The swivel ball joint connection allows the second vertical member to rotate at an angle such that the player knows whether their hit contacted the ball in the center, or to the left or right of center, thereby allowing the player to make adjustments in their swing based on angle of rotation of the ball around the first horizontal member.

INTERSECTIONAL IMPACT TRAINING TOOLS
20210228965 · 2021-07-29 ·

The present disclosure relates to intersectional impact training tools. Aspects of the present disclosure provide attachable intersection impact training tools, which can be attached to sport implements to enable the user to observe and practice intersectional impact. In an exemplary implementation, the training tool can include clips/clamp, which can be fixed with a sport implement, a stiff wire that can hold a ball at centre surface away of the sport implement. The training tool can be attached with sport implement so as to enable a player to practice a particular punching action/technique for multiple sports, for example, forward and backward intersectional movement or forward and forward inline movement, or side movement. The proposed training tools use universal biomechanical techniques that resolve health issues and provide positive results in sports and physiotherapy.

10898780 · 2021-01-26 ·

A golf putting training device with a base and a plurality of posts extending upwardly from the base is provided. The plurality of posts may be positioned on a diameter of a circle and the diameter may be generally equal to a golf hole diameter. A distance between at least two of the plurality of posts is less than the golf hole diameter and thereby provides a narrow opening for a golf ball to roll through. A pair of sleeves may be positioned on a pair of adjacent posts such that the narrow opening for the golf ball to roll through is reduced. Also, an elastic member may extend between two posts and across the narrow opening for the golf ball to roll through such that a golf ball putted towards the narrow opening is redirected when it is rolls into the elastic member.

Football Snap Receiving Training Device And Method Of Use
20240009543 · 2024-01-11 ·

A football snap receiving training device for training a player to receive snaps from center includes a base, which is positionable upon a substantially horizontal surface for a user to stand upon. A bracket is attached to and extends upwardly from the base. A swing arm, which is spring loaded, is rotationally attached to the bracket. A gripping element, which is attached to the swing arm distal from the bracket, selectively grips a football that is positioned on the base. An actuator is attached to the base and is operationally engaged to the gripping element to retain the swing arm in a tensioned configuration. A trigger is attached to the base and is operationally engaged to the actuator. Triggering of the trigger by a foot of the user releases the swing arm, which swings so that the football is snapped to the user.
