ABSTRACT:
Practice apparatus for use in measuring azimuth angle, equivalent distance and angle of elevation of a ball that is punted, passed or kicked comprises a base including means for securing the device in fixed position on the ground or other surface. A tether line extends from the base and is connected at a free outer end with the ball which may be kicked from a tee, punted, or passed to extend and exert tension on the tether line. The angle of elevation and/or angle of azimuth of the tether line is increased or changed when the ball is kicked or thrown. The practice apparatus includes a first element for measuring and indicating the angle of elevation of the tether when the ball is moved away from a starting point by kicking or throwing, a second element for measuring the azimuth angle or direction of the path of movement of the ball and a third element for indicating the equivalent distance that the ball would be moved except for the restraint of the tether line.
