ABSTRACT:
A weight member to be mounted on a ball bat to be used in making practice swings prior to becoming a batter in a ball game, has two substantially symmetrical relatively dense members each having a hole therein aligned with the hole in the other for passage of a baseball bat therethrough. The members are fastened together in fixed spaced positions with an intermediate resilient member fixed in spaced relation with each of them and having a hole therethrough aligned with the holes in the dense members for passage of the bat therethrough and for frictionally engaging the bat to removably secure the weight member to the bat. The weight member can be mounted on the ball bat by pushing the handle-end of the bat through the holes in one of the dense members and the resilient member until the flanged-handle end of the bat is disposed below the resilient member, rotating the bat about a horizontal axis end-over-end until the weight member slides over the surface of the bat and becomes lodged where the handle flares outwardly into the hitting portion of the bat or on the hitting portion. The weight member is removed from the bat by rotating it end-over-end until the handle-end of the bat is below the hitting portion of the bat and the weight slides downwardly over the handle end.
