ABSTRACT:
A batting practice device, consisting of a framework with a horizontal base in the shape of a "T" with a vertical member affixed to the intersection of said horizontal "T". A second horizontal member centered and affixed to the top of said vertical member to form arms of a vertical "T" that are parallel to the arms of said horizontal "T". A ball target, baseball, softball, etc. is supported by a flexible means of suspension system. Whereas, the ball is supported at a degree of angle relative to the ground by two upper suspension members extending at outward angles to the top arm of the frame, and a lower suspension member extending outward to the lower tip of the base of the frame forming a "Y" configuration. Another, line of similar flexible means is attached to the intersection of said horizontal and vertical "T's", to stop return velocity of the ball after being hit by a bat. The framework is adjustable in height and length to facilitate lowering and raising the position of the ball. The framework is collapsible to allow ease of transportation.
