Abstract
An apparatus for assisting and improving baseball hitting is described. The apparatus includes a spherical object having an interior anchor and a cord extending therefrom. An adjustable mass body is disposed within the spherical object along the cord. The interior anchor allows the spherical object to rotate about the cord.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- a spherical object having an interior anchor disposed therein, wherein the spherical object has a plurality of orifices spaced throughout a surface of the spherical object;
- a cord, wherein a first end of the cord is attached to the interior anchor so as to allow the spherical object to rotate about an axis of the spherical object, wherein the cord is fixably mounted to an interior wall of the spherical object via a first connector and a second connector, wherein the first connector and the second connector are attached to one or more of the plurality of orifices and the interior anchor;
- and
- a mass body,
- wherein the mass body is along the cord, attached to the interior anchor of the spherical object,
- wherein the mass body is disposed at a central position with respect to a diameter of the interior of the spherical object,
- wherein the mass body comprises a spring and a weighted mass, and
- wherein the spherical object is configured to enable a user to assess properties of the spherical object including motion, flight, and trajectory.
