Abstract:
A golf ball launcher including a head installed on an elongate shaft. The head is a unitary cup that releasably captures a standard golf ball with a friction fit insertion. When the launcher is accelerated in an arc in the manner of a lacrosse throw, the ball is released with a slight deceleration or snap at the point of release and with backspin.

Claim (Index 8):
The golf ball launcher of  claim 1 , wherein the material from which said golf ball launcher is fabricated, the resilience of said upper jaw, the radius of said spherical interior volume, and the distance between said upper and lower lips, cooperate to provide a capturing force sufficient to retain a ball regardless of the attitude of the head, and a release force that controls a captured ball before release but which also allows a release of said ball with a deceleration of said head after an acceleration of said head.
