A training device includes a plate assembly pivotally connected to a support member. The plate assembly includes an angled top plate that is removably mounted onto a flat balance plate. The support member includes a rectangular mounting bracket that is transversely disposed across an enlarged base, the balance plate directly teetering on the mounting bracket. In use, the training device can be used to train a hitter to maximize lower body power using sensory and auditory feedback. Specifically, the hitter centers his rear foot on the angled top plate which promotes weight loading on the inner portion of the rear leg. The hitter then initiates the hitting process by driving the lower body forward until the balance plate pivots forward and strikes the base, thereby providing the user with audible and tactile response. This lower body drive creates significant momentum that powers rotation of the bat through the hitting zone.

A sensing device obtains range-related data—such as Doppler data or pulse time-of-flight data—from a sports projectile during flight. The time course of the range-related data is employed, in light of predictable characteristics of the projectile trajectory, to determine and output an accurate determination of the projectile speed for one or more points of interest in its flight. Such determination of speed may, for instance, be the speed at the time of projectile release, even though range-related data is gathered later in the flight, when the projectile is traveling neither so fast, nor straight at the sensor. Such sensing device may employ inexpensive short-range acoustic Doppler, and be incorporated into a target device that automatically displays to a pitcher-in-training the speed and ball/strike condition of each pitch.

The Power Arc Exercise Device is a portable, lightweight exercise device that strengthens the muscles used in sports requiring strong rotation of the body. Examples of sports that require strong rotation of the trunk and hips include baseball batting, golf and tennis. The Power Arc Exercise Device uniquely exercises the exact muscles used to produce rotation. The Power Arc Exercise Device also provides resistance to the muscles of rotation in an optimum direction. The optimum direction of resistance for any exercise device is a ninety degree angle to the direction of the body's movement. Exercise bands provide linear resistance only to movement that is in a rotary direction and as such do not provide effective resistive exercise. The Power Arc Exercise device enables athletes to maximally strengthen muscles used to develop power and control in their individual sport In addition to strengthening the core muscles of the trunk and hip, the Power Arc Exercise Device also provides strengthening for the arm and hand muscles. 1. A power arc exercise device comprising:a. A base which can be secured to a door for use and also removed when not in useb. A curved track holding a resistance springc. A handle with a spring contact memberd. Bottom and top straps2.
