Multi-axis athletic training device

Abstract

A multi-axis athletic training device used to simulate crucial movements in sports to better train and improve the skill set of participating players is provided. This device utilizes at least two devices for rotating to create two independently controlled rotations, each simulating a different motion involved in a movement or swing of a selected sport.

1 . A multi-axis athletic training device, said device comprising: 
 at least two drive systems;    a first mounting arm having two ends, a first end connected to a first drive system and a second end attached to a selected piece of sporting equipment, wherein the first drive system causes the first mounting arm to rotate about a longitudinal axis central to the first mounting arm;    an arm assembly wherein the first drive system is fixedly attached to the arm assembly and the first mounting arm is rotatably secured to the arm assembly; and    a second mounting arm having two ends, a first end connected to a second drive system and a second end attached to the arm assembly, wherein the second drive system causes the second mounting arm to rotate about a longitudinal axis central to the second mounting arm.    
     
     
         2 . The multi-axis athletic training device of  claim 1  wherein the second drive system is fixedly attached to a mounting base.  
     
     
         3 . The multi-axis athletic training device of  claim 1  where the selected piece of sporting equipment is a lacrosse stick.  
     
     
         4 . The multi-axis athletic training device of  claim 1  wherein each of the at least two drive systems are independently controlled.  
     
     
         5 . The multi-axis athletic training device of  claim 1 , the drive system including a motor.  
     
     
         6 . The multi-axis athletic training device of  claim 1  wherein the rotational speed of the at least two drive systems are each controlled by an external computer.  
     
     
         7 . The multi-axis athletic training device of  claim 1  wherein the rotational speed of the at least two drive systems are each controlled by a microprocessor inside the multi-axis athletic training device connected to an external user interface panel.  
     
     
         8 . A multi-axis athletic training device that simulates the draw in women's lacrosse, said device comprising: 
 a first motor and a second motor;    a first mounting arm having two ends, a first end connected to the first motor and a second end attached to a lacrosse stick, wherein the motor causes the first mounting arm to rotate about a longitudinal axis central to the first mounting arm;    an arm assembly wherein the first motor is fixedly attached to the arm assembly and the first mounting arm is rotatably secured to the arm assembly;    a second mounting arm having two ends, a first end connected to a second motor and a second end attached to the arm assembly, wherein the second motor causes the second mounting arm to rotate about a longitudinal axis central to the second mounting arm; and    a mounting base, the second motor fixedly attached to the mounting base.
