  • Patent number: 7517290
    Abstract: A practice device for softball pitchers. The device is designed to help a pitcher develop better throwing mechanics by teaching proper spin, release, and follow through for various breaking pitches. Using the device consistently helps a pitcher improve technique, which would ultimately enhance performance in game situations. The device consists of a tripod stand, having an adjustable boom arm at its top, a wedge shaped frame and bracket with a short post assembly to which a regulation sized softball is attached. The side of the bracket opposite the soft ball features a short, right angled mounting bracket. The vertical portion of the bracket features a hole in its center and thus could be secured to the post on the booms stand filter assembly via a wing nut.
