Apparatus for assisting with optimal physical mechanics of a sports swing

Abstract

An apparatus for teaching optimal swing mechanics of a sport swing including a handle having an end portion; a tapered section coupled to the handle and defining a cavity; a connection member coupled to the handle and extending through the cavity, and an impact member coupled to an end of the connection member. The disclosure further provides an apparatus for teaching the optimal swing mechanics of a baseball or softball swing.

1 . An apparatus for teaching optimal swing mechanics of a sport swing, the apparatus comprising:
 a handle having an end portion;   a tapered section coupled to the handle and defining a cavity;   a connection member coupled to the handle and extending through the cavity, and   an impact member coupled to an end of the connection member.   
   
   
       2 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the handle is hollow and further defines a handle cavity that extends along the length of the handle. 
   
   
       3 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the cavity extends the length of the tapered section. 
   
   
       4 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the connection member is coupled to the end portion of the handle and extends along the length of a handle cavity defined by the handle and into the cavity of the tapered section. 
   
   
       5 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the connection member is a predefined length. 
   
   
       6 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the connection member is comprised of nylon, nylon fibers, natural fibers, or combinations there. 
   
   
       7 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the connection member further includes a portion that extends beyond the tapered section. 
   
   
       8 . The apparatus of  claim 1  further including a sleeve that is disposed about the connection member. 
   
   
       9 . The apparatus of  claim 8  wherein the sleeve is further comprised of a natural rubber, synthetic rubber or combinations thereof. 
   
   
       10 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the impact member is in the shape of a ball. 
   
   
       11 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the impact member is secured to an end of the connection member by at least one pin. 
   
   
       12 . An apparatus for teaching optimal swing mechanics of a baseball or a softball swing, the apparatus comprising:
 a bat handle having an end portion;   a tapered section coupled to the bat handle and defining a cavity;   a connection member coupled to the handle and extending through the cavity, and   an impact member coupled to an end of the connection member.   
   
   
       13 . The apparatus of  claim 12  wherein the handle is hollow and further defines a handle cavity that extends along the length of the handle. 
   
   
       14 . The apparatus of  claim 12  wherein the cavity extends the length of the tapered section. 
   
   
       15 . The apparatus of  claim 12  wherein the connection member is coupled to the end portion of the handle and extends along the length of a handle cavity defined by the handle and into the cavity of the tapered section. 
   
   
       16 . The apparatus of  claim 12  wherein the connection member is comprised of nylon, nylon fibers, natural fibers, or combinations there. 
   
   
       17 . The apparatus of  claim 12  wherein the connection member further includes a portion that extends beyond the tapered section. 
   
   
       18 . The apparatus of  claim 12  further including a sleeve that is disposed about the connection member. 
   
   
       19 . The apparatus of  claim 12  wherein the impact member is in the shape of a ball. 
   
   
       20 . An apparatus for teaching optimal swing mechanics of a baseball or a softball swing, the apparatus comprising:
 a hollowed bat handle;   a hollowed tapered section;   a connection member secured inside and extending from said tapered section, said connection member being a specific length to correspond to a node for a specific bat length; and   a impact member molded around and secured to an end of said connection member.
