<p>Training apparatus is disclosed for training in squash, tennis or other racket sports. The apparatus provides a new type of training equipment which absorbs the energy of the ball at whatever speed it is hit towards the apparatus and always returns the ball to the player at a constant speed. The apparatus provides a cloth, or similar, which is relatively loosely hung in a frame so that it absorbs the greatest part of a ball's kinetic energy when hit or thrown against the apparatus. The cloth is sloped at an angle to the horizontal plane so that the ball after contacting the cloth, rolls or falls down along the cloth with a speed quite independent of the ball's impact velocity onto the cloth. In other embodiments of the invention, rebound surfaces are provided in appropriate places so that a ball contacts the rebound surface after contacting the cloth, and bounces back to the player.</p> |
