Cricket bat swing trainer

A cricket bat comprising:

• a body defining a toe end, a handle end, and a cavity, said cavity defining a distal end wall proximate said toe end of said body, said cavity defining a proximal end wall proximate said handle end of said body;
• a handle affixed to said handle end of said body;
• a shaft extending from said distal end wall of said cavity to said proximal end wall of said cavity;
• a weight slidably received on said shaft, said weight slidable from said distal end wall to said proximal end wall, said weight having a first side facing said distal end wall and a second side facing said proximal end wall of said cavity;
• wherein a greatest thickness of said body from said front face to said rear face being less than a diameter of said weight;
• and
• a resistance device proximate said proximal end wall of said cavity for temporarily holding said weight adjacent to said proximal end wall.

A cricket bat swing trainer comprising:

• an elongated handle;
• an elongated body, said body having a front face, a rear swell and side edges extending from shoulders at one end to a toe at another end, a greatest thickness of said body from said front face to said swell being less than a diameter of a conventional cricket ball, said body being joined at said shoulders to, and aligned on a longitudinal axis with, said handle;
• a cavity having parallel side walls and semi-circular ends extending through said body from said front face to said swell, a diameter of said semi-circular ends being greater than the diameter of a conventional cricket bail, said cavity being longitudinally dissected by said longitudinal axis;
• a shaft aligned on said longitudinal axis and secured at one end in said shoulders and at another end in said toe;
• and
• a cricket-ball shaped weight having a diametric hole for sliding reciprocation on said shaft, a toe end of said cavity being distanced from a shoulder end of said cavity so that distal siding of said weight is blocked when said weight reaches a “sweet spot” of said body, whereby said weight striking said toe end of said cavity provides an audible indication of whether said weight has struck said toe end of said cavity before, at or after an optimal ball striking point of the swing;
• and
• a resistance device proximate said proximal end wall of said cavity for temporarily holding said weight adjacent to said proximal end wall.
