Exercise and training device

An exercise and training apparatus comprising a pair of declined spaced elongated members, means for spacing upper ends of said members at a predetermined distance from each other to define a ball rolling path, and an extensible structure for supporting said members to provide different ball rolling path declinations, said extensible structure comprising a pair of spaced upright legs having upper ends pivotally coupled to said upper ends of said elongated members, a pair of spaced intermediate members having upper ends pivotally coupled to mid-portions of said elongated members and having lower ends pivotally connected to lower ends of said spaced legs, a pair of spaced short legs having upper ends pivotally connected to mid-portions of said intermediate members, a ratchet member having one end pivotally connected to lower ends of said short legs, means for pivotally interconnecting lower ends of said intermediate members and said lower ends of said spaced legs, said ratchet member having a ratchet portion adjustably engaging said pivotally interconnecting means.
