Abstract:
A batting tee can include a mesh cup. The mesh cup is sufficiently rigid to support a ball but also easily deflects to minimize the impact when the batter strikes the tee. This ability to deflect also prolongs the life of the cup. The batting tee may be in the form of a complete batting tee or may be a component that can be used as a replacement for the cup of an existing batting tee. A set of balls of differing weights may also be provided with the batting tee.

Claim (Index 11):
A batting tee top comprising:\n a mesh cup having a top and a bottom, the top of the mesh cup forming an opening into which a ball can be inserted and supported; a coupler to which the bottom of the mesh cup is secured; a post having a top and a bottom, wherein the coupler is coupled to the top of the post to thereby secure the mesh cup to the post; and a plurality of adapters that each have a top end of the same size to allow each adapter to be coupled to the bottom of the post, each of the adapters having a bottom end of a different size to allow each adapter to be coupled to one of multiple different sized posts of existing batting tees to thereby enable the batting tee top to be coupled to any of the existing batting tees.
