A ball game recreational or training device comprises a housing (1) adapted to be held in a user's hand. The housing (1) contains a reel (21) on which is wound a tether (3), the free end of the tether (3) being secured, externally of the housing (1), to a ball (5) such that the tether (3) may be dispensed from the housing (1) by the application of force to the ball (5). The reel (21) is spring-loaded for automatic rewinding of the tether (3), and a detent (7) mounted within the housing (1) is moveable from a first position in which the detent (7) is clear of the reel (21) to a second position in which the detent (7) engages the reel (21) to arrest dispensing of the tether (3) from the reel (21). The detent (7) is moveable from the first position to the second position along an axis substantially radial to the reel (21) and there is provided a locking member (28) moveable, when the detent (7) is in the second position, along an axis substantially normal to the axis of movement of the detent (7) from an unlocked position, in which the detent (7) is freely moveable, to a locked position, in which the detent (7) is locked in the second position. <IMAGE> |
