Abstract: A golf driving range system for golfers to practice their driving skills is provided. The driving range system includes a plurality of tee boxes. Each tee box has a renewable ball stock and an automatic golf ball tee-up machine. The balls in the ball stock of each tee box have identifying characteristics for relating the balls to the particular tee box. The system has a yard and ball return gutters. The yard has sloped surfaces to cause any golf balls landing on the yard to roll toward the ball return gutters. At least one target is positioned in the yard. The target has a winning ball identification apparatus for sensing the identifying characteristics of a ball hitting the target and relaying this information to a scoring device. The ball return gutters deliver balls landing in the yard to a ball distribution apparatus, which has a return ball identification apparatus for sensing the identifying characteristics of a ball and distributing the ball back to the renewable ball stocks of the tee boxes. The identifying characteristics for the golf balls can include, for example, color, symbols, bar codes, magnetism, or any combination thereof. The ball identification apparatus include suitable devices for detecting color, graphic images, bar codes, or magnetism, depending on which type of identifying characteristics are employed.

Abstract: A pair of spaced, wall-mounted frames support an abbreviated volleyball net and a no-rebound ball barrier which catches and returns a ball struck over the net. The frames are pivotably mounted and may be folded toward one another whereby the net and ball barrier collapse downwardly. A protective screen may then be drawn upwardly over the net, the ball barrier and a greater portion of the folded frames. The frames include vertically movable members to which the net is attached; and, these members may be adjusted to vary the net height as desired.

Abstract: The invention relates to a ball game practice apparatus, particularly for tennis practice, comprising a ball catching assembly (2) and a ball collecting assembly (3), which in its turn comprises at least a first chute (30) beneath the ball catching assembly, said ball catching assembly being connected with a ball propulsion assembly (5) via a ball feeding assembly (4). A characteristic feature of the invention is that in the ball collecting assembly (3) between the chute (30) and the ball catching assembly (2) there is a damping device (32), through which the balls must pass and which damps the falling speed of the balls to prevent them from leaving the ball collecting assembly (3) by rebounding from the bottom (33) of the chute. Another characteristic feature of the invention is further that the bottom of said at least first chute (30) consists of a plane, preferably sloping only in the longitudinal direction of the chute.
