摘要:
This method simulates a run which is a distance between a landing point and a final arriving point using an initial condition of a hit ball and an actually measured falling condition. Preferably, the initial condition includes initial side spin. Preferably, the falling condition is a falling velocity. Preferably, a calculation formula of the run is a quadratic function having the initial condition and the falling condition as variables. Preferably, when the run is defined as Dr (yard); a target direction component of the falling velocity is defined as Vx (m/s); a vertical direction component of the falling velocity is defined as Vy (m/s); and the initial side spin is defined as S (rpm), the run is calculated according to the following formula (1): Dr=C1×Vx2−C2×Vx+C3Vy2+C4×Vy−C5×S+C6 (1)

A tennis racket grip which is modified so as to enable a tennis player to hold the racket in such a way that it is automatically positioned at a good hitting angle and is kept at a good angle throughout the stroke. The grip also enables the player to obtain top spin and reverse spin on the ball for both forehand and backhand strokes.

摘要:
An article of manufacture for and a method of playing the skidwheel game. The invention comprises a longitudinally disposed generally flat playing surface with a design thereon containing value zones, used in combination with automobile steering wheel playing piece having a generally circular periphery which is linearly projected with a reverse spin along the longitudinal axis of said playing surface such that said wheel generally rolls in contact with said surface first in one direction and then in the reverse direction and either comes to rest within one of said zones or traverses the entire length of said playing surface and returns to its starting point, the desired effect depending on the method selected to award points for each toss.

The present invention relates to a pitching machine. According to the present invention, an upper wheel (13) and a lower wheel (14) are disposed such that motors (11) and (12) are each disposed on a central shaft on one surface and a ball is pitched using the rotation driven by the motor. A ball supply container (15) and a ball supply device (16) are disposed on one side of the upper wheel (13) and lower wheel (14) so as to supply the ball to the upper and lower wheels. A stepper motor (18) is connected to the central shaft of the upper wheel (13) and lower wheel (14) so as to adjust the directional angle of the upper and lower wheels according to the angular direction of the ball. A body rod (20) supporting one side of the upper and lower wheels, the stepper motor (18), and the ball supply container (15) are connected to a triangular supporting leg (21) at the lower portion so as to support the body rod (20). According to the pitching machine, a hitter can practice hitting alone by selecting various angle, direction and speed patterns.

The present invention provides a ball engagement device for use with a ball launching device, comprising a housing having first and second ends, an opening for accepting balls and a ball chamber adjacent to the opening. The device further includes a motor coupled to the housing and a pinion connected to and driven by the motor. The pinion drives a rack that has a ball engagement end, wherein the rack is slideably disposed along an interior portion of the housing. The device also includes a first switch disposed in the housing and that is operably configured to activate the motor to rotate the pinion in a first direction, the first switch is activatable by the presence of a ball in the ball chamber, a second switch disposed in the housing operably configured to rotate the pinion in an opposing second direction, a third switch disposed in the housing at a predetermined distance from the second switch and operably configured to deactivate the motor and a switch activation member disposed along the rack. Upon activation of the first switch, the motor rotates the pinion in the first direction causing the rack to push the ball out of the first end of the housing, the switch activation member travels with the housing until the activation member activates the second switch which then reverses the direction of the pinion in a second direction causing the movement of the rack towards the second end of the housing until the switch activation member strikes the third switch and turns the motor off. This invention further provides a hopper for use with the ball engagement device.
