ABSTRACT:
A portable positioning device which permits a person to engage in the repetitive striking of such object at any selected vertical position, even in a relatively confined location, so as to tone the required muscles, develop muscle memory of the proper motion, and develop the proper execution of the striking motion. The multiple sport practice apparatus includes a portable stand, a generally vertical post or riser portion supported by the stand, an elongated flexible rod assembly at least partially comprised of a flexible material having shape memory, first and second anchoring members for guiding a proximal end portion of the elongated flexible member in rotating movement about a substantially vertical axis defined by the vertical post, and an elastic member for securing a proximal end portion of the elongated flexible member to the vertical post. To the distal end of the elongated flexible member is attached one of a plurality of practice objects such, for example, as a baseball, a soccer ball, a racquet ball, or tennis ball.
