Abstract: A batting practice apparatus comprising an upright support mast associated with a base having a plurality of legs which are able to be mounted to a surface. A rotatable sleeve slides over the mast. The sleeve can rotate about the mast and a pin slides within the slots. An arm with a ball-shaped object at the distal end extends from the sleeve. An elastic member is associated at one end with the sleeve by means of a tab extending from the sleeve; and, at the other end is associated with a base leg. When the batter strikes the ball-shaped object, the sleeve rotates upward about the mast and returns as urged by the elastic member.

Abstract: A batting practice apparatus comprising an upright support mast associated with a base having a plurality of legs which are able to be mounted to a surface, such as the ground. A rotatable sleeve is slid over the mast. The sleeve has upper and lower halves, each half having a pair of opposing slots formed therein, each slot in the upper half curving clockwise downward, each slot in the lower half curving counterclockwise downward. A pin is inserted through a pair of slots in the lower half and through one of several apertures in the mast. The sleeve can rotate about the mast and the pin slides within the slots. An arm with a ball-shaped object at the distal end extends from the sleeve. An elastic member is associated at one end with the sleeve by means of a tab extending from the sleeve; and, at the other end is associated with a base leg.
