1st prototype of "the Swing Thing"

[Perfect Circle]

Had it on back burner, with all the practices, and friendlies. Then one of my neighbors set a weight lifting set out to the curb for the trash man... Took it as a sign to put it together.

[Hit by the Pitch]

????, I am not sure what this is. There is a lot going on in this video. Mini-chair, swing, 3 home plates, blue backdrop for filming, etc. My thought is that I think this was filmed about 6 months ago because there is no snow on the ground.

Wrong... less than an hour ago in ohio. Back drop is what I used to hit the balls into they roll back to me. You missed the swings behind the tarp... when she hits them, they pop up, and come over to the front... we call that a home run. Chair is what a guy who is not going to go pick up the balls, or set on a "too high bucket" sets on to catch his DD pitching. Didn't want to train her to go pick them up for me either... I never, ever used more than one ball at a time.... :{))

Your not supposed to know what it is... its a prototype of my concept of a tee. I'm pretty sure no one has ever seen anything like this. Thanks to affirming that at least. You can vote... Thank You !

GD... I swear 3/4 of an inch in last two weeks..... It works great in house... thats a jugs softie....can't prove it with this clip though... she was having too much fun took eye off the and.... Go busted it... talk about self correction... if you don't hit it strieght, it wolbbles around, and it you hit below the ball ...busted...gotta hurry up and put things away, DDM on the way home.

What is wagon wheel attached to in the background?

Like the 'tee'. It is like a cheap version of the 'Swingaway'

it looks like this one, that is in my garage. The base of this opens up, like spider legs.

I have to agree with going deep, PC your dd has really gotten tall. Also, I think your idea, looks pretty cool. Do all of us get a discount, when you take it to market.

Ps. The look on your dd's face was priceless, when she broke it, did you fix the drywall?

I had to look myself.... Its the neighbors swing. He's a welder, and made it. He cutting down a tree, and going to make a chair out of the stump and said he going to set and watch us practice. His uncle is the only one from theses parts that made it to MLB. He has asked me several times if he can bring one of his buddies over to watch... He said the guy don't believe him.

I should have stretched out my zip line... its hanging on the left.
