Abstract: The present invention relates to training devices used in the stick sports, particularly hockey, to improve users or corresponding stick sport players stick-handling and puck passing abilities. Hockey puck rebound device (1) comprises a first support (2) and a second support (22), at least one resilient member (20) extending between the first support (2) and the second support (22) such that the resilient member (20) is secured in a taut manner to provide a resilient spring-back force when struck by a puck (50), a cross-member (30) extending between the first support (2) and the second support (22). Each support (2, 22) comprises at least one channel (7) for inserting and securing the resilient member (20) to the support (2, 22).
Abstract: Disclosed is a golf putting correction device. The golf putting correction device of the present disclosure includes: a body formed long in one direction so as to form a straight runway on which a golf ball rolls, and having a marked line formed along the center of the straight runway; and a guide formed above the straight runway, and having a through-hole formed to be parallel with the marked line, wherein a putting posture is corrected by a putting practice while observing the marked line through the through-hole. According to the present disclosure, it is possible to provide a golf putting correction device that can: correct an address posture such that eyes, a hole, and a golf ball are aligned on the same line; maintain the progressing direction of the golf ball to be constant even if it is repeatedly used; and provide a convenient transport and storage.
Abstract: A hockey training device is provided. The training device includes a substantially flat sheet with a smooth upper surface. The present invention includes a plurality of elastic band suspended to the upper surface. A first vertical post and a second vertical post may be attached to the flat sheet so that the elastic band is secured about the first and second vertical posts. The elastic band includes a front surface facing towards a center portion of the flat sheet. Therefore, a puck may be passed towards the elastic band and the elastic band rebounds the puck towards the user. The device may be used to train both backhand and forehand shooting and pucks skills. Further, the device may be used to train a sliding skating motion in a skating training mode.

Abstract: The present invention is a putting tool to assist a golfer. The putting tool comprises a box like structural housing having a cavity therein. The housing is further defined by a top wall, bottom wall, back wall, first side wall, and an opposing second side wall. The front of the housing defines an opened an entry way for inserting foam into the cavity of the housing. An elastic band covers the front opening of the housing. At a predetermined location on the elastic band, a target is incorporated onto the band. Thus, when the golf ball hits the elastic band, the ball bounces off the band and automatically returns back to the putter.
Abstract: A golf putting practice device (10) having a main housing (12), a substantially flattened ball tray (16) to receive putted balls that is retractable and removable, and a flipper device (28) disposed in a position along the rear face of the ball tray (16) to automatically return the putted balls from the ball tray (16) back to the person making the putt.
Abstract: Lifting golf balls in a vertical tube from a lifting station using spaced apart motorized wheels with finger projections for projecting into side openings in the vertical tube. The golf balls are allowed to fall by gravity from an apex of the vertical tube to a diverter for directing the golf balls to a particular dispenser apparatus.
