First Claim
1. A sports training apparatus for ball hitting games, particularly golf, comprising, on a stable frame, a cloth (1) suspended on a crossmember (2) forming part of said frame, the two bottom corners of said cloth being fixed respectively to two members (4, 11) which form rings and each of which is free to slide on a rope (5) stretched on each side of the frame between a base and a higher point of said frame, in such a manner that the cloth, which is deformed and raised by the impact of the ball, absorbs the kinetic energy of the latter.

Abstract
A sport training apparatus for ball hitting games, such as golf, is provided with a frame which includes a base as well as a pair of uprights. A net is stretched across the uprights and has a pair of lower net corners which each are connected to a weight organized to ride along a rope inclined about 45° from horizontal and spanning between the base and one of the uprights at a higher point. Displacement of the weights measures impact of the ball into the net. Each of the weights is connected by means of a cord to a marker movable on a rod fixed on a graduated ruler to provide a measure of the distance the ball would have traveled unimpededly. A differential between movements of the marks measures direction of the ball.
