Abstract
A tennis training system may include a target mat including an intersection point and radial lines extending from the intersection point to visibly define sections. A target device may align with the target mat. The target device may include a body, a target assembly coupled to a first end of the body to define a target opening, and a base coupled to a second end of the body opposite the first end.
Claims13
A tennis training system comprising:
- a target mat including:
- an intersection point;
- and
- a plurality of radial lines extending from the intersection point to visibly define sections on the target mat;
- a target device configured to align with the target mat and including:
- a body, wherein the body comprises a telescoping mechanism including an outer stage, an inner stage, and a plunger stage;
- a target assembly coupled to a first end of the body and configured to define a target opening;
- and
- a base coupled to a second end of the body opposite the first end, wherein the base comprises:
- a bracket configured to slide along the body between a first position and a second position;
- a leg hingedly coupled to the bracket, wherein the leg translates into a deployed configuration in response to the bracket translating into the second position;
- and
- a retention clip coupled to the body and configured to retain the bracket in the second position, wherein the retention clip comprises:
- a spring segment;
- and
- a retention segment coupled to the spring segment, wherein retention segment releases the bracket in response to the retention segment translating towards the body.
