    Abstract: A batting ball is slidably mounted on a line having a low friction surface to provide proper swing technique and muscle memory. A hook and eye turnbuckle is connected to an end of the cable by a thimble and clamp set. A swivel snap hook is connected to an end of the cable by a thimble and clamp set located opposite the hook and eye turn buckle. A bushing with a central opening is inserted and affixed into the ball opening. The bushing has a threaded end connected to an outer wall of the bushing. The central opening of the bushing will receive the cable. The balls are mounted onto the cable with a washer located at each end between the attaching elements and the balls. The washers act as a barrier to prevent the balls from being penetrated by the thimble and clamp set upon impact.
