Abstract: Apparatus for dispensing balls, for example, golf or tennis balls, comprising a magazine (10), which can be mounted to extend downwardly to receive a plurality of balls (14,14') to be dispensed from the lower end thereof, a ball-dispensing structure (16) having a first condition in which the lowermost ball (14) is restrained in the magazine (10) and a second condition in which the lowermost ball (14) is released and another ball (14') is restrained in the magazine (10), the ball-dispensing structure (16) thereby being operable by change between its two conditions to dispense at least the lowermost ball (14) while restraining at least one other ball (14') in the magazine (10).
