Batting Ball On A Cable Having A Low Friction Surface To Provide Proper Swing Technique and Muscle Memory

Abstract

A batting ball is slidably mounted on a line having a low friction surface to provide proper swing technique and muscle memory. A hook and eye turnbuckle is connected to an end of the cable by a thimble and clamp set. A swivel snap hook is connected to an end of the cable by a thimble and clamp set located opposite the hook and eye turn buckle. A bushing with a central opening is inserted and affixed into the ball opening. The bushing has a threaded end connected to an outer wall of the bushing. The central opening of the bushing will receive the cable. The balls are mounted onto the cable with a washer located at each end between the attaching elements and the balls. The washers act as a barrier to prevent the balls from being penetrated by the thimble and clamp set upon impact.

The invention claimed is: 
     
         1 . A batting system, comprising:
 a line having a first distal end located opposite of a second distal end;   said first distal end having a first attaching element;   said second distal end having a second attaching element;   said first attaching element connected to a first stationary object;   said second attaching element connected to a second stationary object;   a ball having an opening, said opening located through a central axis of said ball;   a support structure having a length great enough to substantially span the width of said ball;   said support structure having a helical portion connected to an outer wall of said support structure, whereby said helical portion rotatably engages said opening fixedly attaching said support structure to said ball, said support structure having a central opening, said central opening receiving said line, whereby said line penetrates said central opening allowing said support structure to slidably traverse said line;   a first plate having an aperture to receive said line, said first plate located between said ball and said first distal end of said line; and,   a second plate having an aperture to receive said line, said second plate located between said ball and said second distal end of said line.   
     
     
         2 . The batting device of  claim 1 , wherein a plurality of balls are slidably mounted on said line. 
     
     
         3 . The batting device of  claim 1 , having a tensioning device connected between said first or second stationary object and a portion of said line.
