ABSTRACT:
A ball-hitting practice device having support arms rotatable about an axis with the arm rotation restrained by a torque releasable clutch. The clutch has a fixed clutch plate having a pair of recesses in a surface facing a rotatable clutch plate. The rotatable clutch plate includes a pair of engagement balls adapted to be received within the recesses. A spring biases the clutch plates together. Biasing of the two clutch plates is adjustable for varying of the resistance to unseating the engagement balls from the recesses. A pair of support arms having practice balls mounted thereto by coil springs are attached to the rotatable clutch plate for rotation about a generally horizontal axis. Striking of a practice ball with a level swing causes movement of the practice ball about an arc of 180 degrees to a second rest position. The bias between the clutch plates is adjusted such that a swing that is not level will not effect a 180 degree rotation of a practice ball.
