Patent ID: 7762913

Claim:
A training device, comprising: a truncated bat used to train a player to swing a bat, the truncated bat having a shaft with a longitudinal axis defining a distal end and a proximal end; the distal end having a rotatable attachment ring for the attachment of the bat to a fixed attachment point and the distal end terminating along the shaft at an angle portion of the bat relative to the longitudinal axis of the shaft; the angle portion of the bat adapted to project to the backside of the upper body part of the trainee and turned toward the attachment point when the trainee swings the bat in a swing cycle of the bat in a resistance training session; the angle portion of the bat comprising a bend in which the rotatable attachment ring rotates into as the rotatable attachment ring crosses perpendicular to the upper body part of the trainee to allow the wrist of the trainee to accelerate at a simulated impact point where the trainee would normally make contact with a ball upon completion of the swing cycle of the bat.
