Abstract

A swing exercising device includes a base; a handle coupled to the base; and means for attaching a ball to the base.

1 . A swing exercising device, comprising: 
 a base;    a handle coupled to the base;    means for attaching a ball to the base.    
   
   
       2 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein said means for attaching a ball comprises a coiled spring fastened to one side of the base, whereby when the ball is struck, the coiled spring returns the ball to its resting position.  
   
   
       3 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein said base includes an opening and wherein said means for attaching a ball comprises a pivotable arm inserted into said opening, wherein when the ball is struck, the arm allows the ball to orbit around said opening above said base.  
   
   
       4 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein said means for attaching a ball comprises: 
 a retainer secured in the base;    a coiled spring fastened to the retainer; and    a string coupled to the coiled spring, whereby when the ball is struck, the coiled spring and string return the ball to its resting position.    
   
   
       5 . The device of  claim 4 , comprising a tube mounted on top of the base and adapted to receive said string therethrough.  
   
   
       6 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein said means for attaching a ball comprises: 
 a stand projecting above the base;    an arm projecting from the stand; and    a ring rotatably coupled to the arm.    
   
   
       7 . The device of  claim 6 , comprising a distance indicator coupled to the stand.  
   
   
       8 . The device of  claim 6 , comprising a string coupled to the ring.  
   
   
       9 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein said ball is a golf ball.  
   
   
       10 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein said base is rectangular in shape.  
   
   
       11 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein said means for attaching a ball comprises: 
 a first hollow tube; and    a second tube rotatably coupled to and slideably engaging the first hollow tube to adjust a ball height setting.    
   
   
       12 . The device of  claim 11 , comprising an arm coupled to the second tube.  
   
   
       13 . The device of  claim 12 , wherein the ball is mounted on one end of the arm, comprising a counterweight coupled to the other end of the arm.  
   
   
       14 . The device of  claim 11 , comprising a spring coupled to the arm and the ball.  
   
   
       15 . The device of  claim 11 , wherein the tubes are rectangular tubes.  
   
   
       16 . The device of  claim 11 , wherein the tubes are cylindrical tubes.  
   
   
       17 . The device of  claim 11 , comprising: 
 a counter ball;    a spring coupled to the counter ball; and    a string coupled to the spring and to the ball.    
   
   
       18 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein said base is elongated in shape.  
   
   
       18 . The device of  claim 11 , comprising: 
 an arm coupled to the second tube;    a stopper coupled to one end of the arm;    a ring positioned on the arm between the second tube and the stopper; and    a string coupled to the ring and the ball.    
   
   
       20 . The device of  claim 11  wherein the ball is a baseball.
