Benefits of technology

This patent describes an improved baseball bat that can help improve a batter's hand-eye coordination and swinging skills. It also gives the batter feedback on how well the ball was hit. Additionally, the bat is designed to be durable and stable, and is made in a way that is more user-friendly and economical. These technical improvements can lead to better performance on the field and a more pleasant experience for the player.

Problems solved by technology

Many ball hitting and training devices have been developed but are unable to individually provide all of the key skill concepts and device characteristics including demonstrating the length of time the ball is in and out of the strike zone, the ability to practice switch hitting, demonstration of ball trajectory after being hit, and durability for sustained use.
Training devices that do not allow the ball to remain in motion, or in play, after being hit will prove inadequate for training the batter to determine the best ball position, correct batter stance, and timing for proper swinging.

Abstract

It is one aspect of the present invention to provide a batting training apparatus for simulating ball trajectory prior to, during, and after the ball is impacted by a piece of sporting equipment such as a baseball bat. In some embodiments, the apparatus comprises a ball connected to a rotating tab wherein the tab is secured to a bearing configured to rotate within a bearing housing. The bearing housing may be mounted to a vertical support structure such as a pole or post.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]The present application is a Continuation-In-Part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 14 / 201,164 filed on Mar. 7, 2014 which is a U.S non-provisional patent application that claims priority to U.S. provisional patent application No. 61 / 775,582 filed Mar. 9, 2013, the entire contents of the above-referenced patent applications are incorporated by reference herein and priority is claimed thereto.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to the field of ball sports training apparatuses.
