Abstract: An apparatus comprising a body having an inner cavity. First and second pluralities of anchor pins are positioned within in the inner cavity. The inner cavity includes a central cavity between the anchor pins. The inner cavity includes a media channel outside of the anchor pins. The media channel is in fluid communication with the central cavity through openings between the anchor pins. The anchor pins restrict complete fluid transfer while allowing molecular migration between the media channel and the central cavity. Posts are positioned in the central cavity and tissue may be connected between the posts. First and second ports are positioned in the central cavity and enable tissue to be positioned within the inner cavity. Third and fourth ports are located in the exterior of the body. The third and fourth ports are in fluid communication with the media channel.

Abstract: A swing training apparatus includes an upper line from an upper assembly to a housing of a lower assembly. A first line extendable from the housing may be connected to a sporting implement. A second line extendable from the housing may be connected to the upper line. A first spool, second spool, lever, and pawl are located within the housing. The rotation of the first spool permits the extension of the first line. The pawl is biased to prevent the rotation of the first spool. Tension in the second line cause the rotation of the second spool, causing the lever to engage a portion on the pawl to disengage the pawl and permit extension of the first line. The first and second spools, lever, and pawl are configured to permit the extension of the first line at the proper “release” point during the swing of a sporting implement.
