Ball Hitting Practice Device

Abstract

A ball hitting practice device includes a base member having a reception portion on a top thereof and a spherical recess is defined in an underside of the reception portion. A passage is defined through the reception portion and communicates with the spherical recess. A post can be a single post or composed of multiple sections. The post has a base part at a lower end thereof and a cup is connected to a top of the post. The base part is matched with the spherical recess and a diameter of the post is smaller than an inner diameter of the passage. The post extends through the passage and a top of the base part is in contact with an inner surface of the spherical recess. A positioning cap is fixed to the underside of the base member so as to position the base part. A ball is put on the cup and the user hits the ball to practice hitting skills.

1 . A ball hitting practice device, comprising
 a base member having a reception portion extending from a top thereof and a spherical recess defined in an underside of the reception portion, a passage defined through the reception portion and communicating with the spherical recess;   a post having a base part at a lower end thereof and a cup connected to a top of the post, the base part having an outer periphery that is matched with the spherical recess and a diameter of the post being smaller than an inner diameter of the passage, the post extending through the passage from an underside of the base member and a top of the base part being in contact with an inner surface of the spherical recess; and   a positioning cap having a convex top which is shaped to match with the underside of the base part so that when the positioning cap is fixed to the underside of the base member, the base part is clamped between the positioning cap and the base member.   
   
   
       2 . The device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the post includes a first section, a second section and a third section, the base part is connected to a lower end of the first section and the cup is connected to a top of the third section. 
   
   
       3 . The device as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the cup has a threaded rod extending from an underside thereof and a plurality of rods extending from a top of the cup, the threaded rod is threadedly connected with a threaded hole in the top of the third section. 
   
   
       4 . The device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein a stepped recess is defined around the spherical recess in the base member and a plurality of fixing holes are defined in a surface of the stepped recess, the positioning cap includes a flange and through holes are defined through the flange, the flange is engaged with the stepped recess and screws extend through the aligned through holes and the fixing holes.
