A bat and ball game apparatus comprises: bat 1 to which a ball 2 is operatively coupled via an elastic tethering line 3; and means 5 for adjusting the tethering line to a required play length. The means 5 is mounted to the bat and can be manipulated to provide the required play length of the tethering line, which is then effective in repetitive striking of the ball with the bat. |

A racquet sports training device which can be used by one person alone, either indoors or outdoors, and which enables the user to hit a ball with the racquet and have the ball returned to him thereby allowing repeated hitting and even while the user is on the run. An elastic cord is connected at one end to a ball of the type for hitting by the racquet during playing of the particular sport, and there is provided a component for releasably connecting the opposite end of the cord to the racquet. A swivel is connected to the cord in a manner preventing tangling of the cord during use of the training device. As a result, the user can practice hitting the ball with the racquet, and after each time the ball is hit in a direction away from the racquet the elastic cord returns the ball in a direction toward the racquet. When the device is used for training in tennis, a pressureless tennis ball is connected to one end of the elastic cord, and the opposite end of the cord is connected to the strings of a tennis racquet by means of a vibration damper. In an alternative version of the tennis training device, the one end of the cord is connected to the strings on the upper end of a net on a tennis court. |

A disk is provided with two diametrically opposed handles. A resilient ball is tethered to the center of the disk by a flexible, but substantially inelastic line, said line being slightly shorter than the radius of the disk. Weights may be attached to the device. Proper flexions and extensions of the arms or of other parts of the user's body set the ball in a periodic bouncing motion. The rhythm thus established regulates the various exercises of the user. |

A practice hockey puck for use in individual practice on surfaces other than ice. The practice hockey puck body may be a standard hockey puck altered so as to have a plurality of headed pins disposed about the periphery of the two flat surfaces thereon. Headed members are also provided at the center of the two flat surfaces, with the heads thereof extending above the elevation of the heads of the members at the periphery of the flat surfaces so that the majority of the weight of the hockey puck is supported on these central members when resting on a flat surface. The puck is removably coupled to an elastic cord which in turn includes a fastening device at the opposite end thereof for fastening to a hockey stick. One section of the elastic cord may be provided with known and limited breakage characteristics so as to limit the maximum elastic energy which may be stored in the elastic cord to limit the springback of the puck. |

A highly elastic elongated connecting element is connected between two members, one of which is designed or provided with means adapted to accelerate the other member away from said one member. At least one of said members is resilient and capable of developing restoring forces and preferably capable of elastically yielding at least adjacent to a surface which is adapted to contact the other member. The connecting element is connected to the accelerating member by a swivel bearing.

The invention involves a device and method for training individuals a proper striking and throwing technique, through simulation, to increase the accuracy and consistency of strikes and pitches, as well as to strengthen muscles through resistance training in order to increase stamina and to reduce muscle fatigue and risk of injury. The system includes a sphere in the form of a game ball secured to each distal end of a resilient member so that a trainee may grip one of the spheres or handle in a desired manner to utilize his/her grip and snap the wrist in a desired manner work the forearm and hand muscles associated with a proper release of the ball for a desired pitch or proper strike of the game object. The dynamic action provided by the resilient member provides strengthening and muscle memory which can be repeated in a game situation. |

A hockey puck and sports ball training device for practicing puck or ball control, dribbling, shooting, passing and pass receiving is disclosed. The hockey puck or the sports ball uses a spring powered retracting mechanism which provides a retracting force on the tether and to automatically return the puck or ball to location of the retracting mechanism. In another embodiment of this invention, the retracting mechanism is built inside the hockey puck and the puck is attached to the hockey stick by a tethering device. The tethering device and puck can be easily attached or removed from the hockey stick. This invention is intended to improve players' stick handling, shooting, passing and pass receiving skills. Also to strengthening arm and writs of players' shots and passes. |
