ABSTRACT:
A horizontally elongated base is provided and an upright standard has its lower end oscillatably supported from one end of the base for angular displacement about a horizontal axis extending transversely of the base with the standard swingable between an upstanding position and a generally horizontally disposed position with the upper free end of the standard swung downwardly toward the other end of the base. The standard is adjustable in length and the upper end portion thereof includes a reverse bend terminating downwardly in a horizontally outwardly projecting terminal end extending outwardly of the aforementioned one end of the base. The free end of the terminal end portion includes an endwise outwardly opening cup-shaped mount in which a tennis ball is seatingly secured. The end of the base remote from the end thereof from which the standard is oscillatably supported includes an elevated upwardly facing cushion portion against which the upper free end of the standard may abut when the standard is propelled to its generally horizontal position as a result of the tennis ball being struck by a tennis racket. Further, expansion spring structure is connected between the base and the standard for yielding biasing the latter from the horizontal position thereof toward the static vertical position thereof.
