The target apparatus is comprised of an upper portion and a lower portion which are in spaced apart condition with an open horizontally disposed strike zone between. The upper and lower portions each comprise an arm that extends outwardly from the post. A guide frame is mounted on the outer end of the arm. A plurality of flexible members are secured to the guide frame and extend towards and define the strike zone. A plurality of flexible elements extend into the strike zone to provide resistance to a swung bat passing through the strike zone. The side portions of the guide frames are disposed at an angle with respect to the strike zone and are padded with a resilient material. A shock absorber is mounted in the length of each of the arms.
