ABSTRACT:
An improved, low cost, net-mounted tennis target structure is provided for improving tennis skills which permits practice on an otherwise unmodified regulation tennis court and allows the player to actually see the landing of his shot beyond the net which ensures that actual court conditions and "feel" are not lost during practice; in addition, the structure is adjustable for individual players and permits practice on specialized serves and ground strokes while ensuring that all such shots land within the appropriate court playing area beyond the net. While a single player can utilize the target structure to good effect as a practice aid, an opposing player can also simultaneously use the structure to give both players the benefit of return strokes so volleys of shots can be exchanged to accurately simulate actual conditions of competitive play. The target structure hereof includes an elongated, vertically adjustable strip adapted to be mounted above a tennis net to define a ball-clearing opening thereabove, with depending, laterally adjustable strips suspended therefrom which define target areas such that tennis balls propelled through the same land in a desired area within the confines of the court.
