A ball assembly for a swing trainer that withstands repeated hits with forces applied by professional athletes. The ball assembly comprises a ball, a wire rope, a ball stud swaged to one end of the wire rope and a connector sleeve swaged to the other end of the wire rope. A whole is drilled through the exact center of the ball and wire threaded therethrough. After the ball stud and connector sleeves are swaged to the ends of the wire rope, the ball stud is pressed into the hole in the ball. The wire rope may be coated to extend life.

A device including a golf ball that is configured to be operable for practicing golf swings, a golf ball block pad assembly that is configured to block the golf ball during said golf swing practice, a golf ball pivot arm, a linkage bar that is configured to engage the golf ball block pad assembly to the golf ball pivot arm, and a golf ball hitting pad.

A device including a golf ball that is configured to be operable for golf hitting practice. A cable assembly retains the golf ball during the golf hitting practice. A golf ball attachment eye segment engages the golf ball. A first compression sleeve is configured to join a portion of said cable assembly that is forming the golf ball attachment eye engaged with the golf ball. A cable eye segment is configured to be operable for engaging a stationary object. And a second compression sleeve is configured to join a portion of said cable assembly that is forming said cable eye.

An apparatus for demonstrating how golf balls interact with golf clubs includes a downswing plane, a club shaft attached to the downswing plane, a golf club head attached to the club shaft, and a collision-plane indicator attached to the golf club head wherein the collision-plane indicator illustrates the plane created by two intersecting lines that are in the direction of the path and the direction of the club face. Preferably, the downswing plane has an adjustable angle, and preferably the downswing plane swivels. Preferably the club shaft is pivotally attached to the downswing plane. Preferably the apparatus includes a removable golf ball with a spin axis through the middle of the ball, and with a black line across the middle of the ball that indicates spin direction perpendicular to the ball's spin axis.

A system that wirelessly integrates actual sports equipment with a computer and the internet to allow players remotely located from one another to play a competitive simulated sports game. An individual player may opt to play solo or practice to improve basic techniques. The system includes motion sensors connected to the player and a motion sensing device, all containing circuits and contact or motion sensors coupled with signal processing and radio frequency transmitter circuitry, thereby wirelessly communicate game performance information to a remote receiver-computer. The computer displays player information and visually simulates and controls a game between two players via the internet, having similar equipment and remotely located from each other. Standard sports equipment may be retrofitted with the sensors and associated circuitry to convert such equipment into “smart equipment” for use with the system. The system employs specially developed computer software to process player performance data, control game play, communicate game information between players, generate and control visual simulations and display player performance information.

Golf ball with through-hole(s) incorporating hollow air pocket(s) to produce thinner outer wall facilitating more speed and responsiveness off of the golf club's face at impact is disclosed. A thin outer wall is desirable in golf ball design. A wall that is too thick inhibits rebound and promotes fracturing. A thinner wall with structural supports allows for the outer wall to be thinned while producing an internal structure that promotes rebound and not structural failure. This volume of material formed into the volume to help resist deformation of the outer shell. The internal structure between the outer shell and inner axial shaft can be a honeycomb-like pattern or concentric rings to create more structure, less air volume and faster response. These smaller compartments of air will create more rebound because of the additional force of the more responsive inner structure providing a spring effect as well.

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.

A golf ball comprising an electrical component is disclosed herein. The electrical component comprises an integrated circuit having a gyroscope, a magnetometer, and a BLUETOOTH low energy (BTLE) radio, and at least one battery. A body is composed of an epoxy material, and the body encompasses the electrical component.

A golf ball comprising an integrated circuit is disclosed herein. The integrated circuit comprises a gyroscope, a magnetometer, and a BLUETOOTH low energy (BTLE) radio, and at least one battery. A body is composed of an epoxy material, and the body encompasses the integrated circuit. A wound core layer is disposed over the body.

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.
