Racquet sports training devices and methods

Abstract

Racquet sports training aids are disclosed to provide racquet stroke training to a user. Certain embodiments will include a stand assembly having an upright support post and a ball attachment assembly carrying a target ball. The ball attachment assembly is pivotally moveable between a first position to present the target ball at an extended location where the target ball is adapted to being struck by a racquet, and a second position where the target ball is pivotally displaced to a retracted location relative to the extended location. According to some embodiments, a stand attachment assembly is provided which operatively attaches the ball attachment assembly to the upright support post of the stand assembly to allow for reciprocal selective height and angular orientation adjustments of the target ball relative to the upright support post of the stand assembly. Other embodiments may include an elastomeric force dampener to dampen inertial forces of the drum assembly during use.
