Abstract:
1. A swing trainer comprising: a ball pivotally attached to a vertical arm; the vertical arm attached to a vertical arm support member which is slidably attached to an oblique arm having a stopping member at a first end and a stopping bar at a second end positioned to limit the slidable travel of the vertical arm a predetermined amount; the oblique arm attached at a first end to a second end of a horizontal arm at an effective angle to permit gravitational return of the vertical arm to a start position after the vertical arm slidably traverses the oblique arm; and a mounting bracket attached to a first end of the horizontal arm for mounting the swing trainer to a support structure; such that when the ball is struck, the ball pivots on the vertical arm as the vertical arm support member slides up the oblique arm, striking the stopping bar and thereafter sliding back down the oblique arm to return to the start position.
