Abstract: A ball support device is used for supporting a ball at an elevated position so that the ball can be struck while so supported with a bat, club or like sports implement. The ball support device includes a base, a post and a ball holder fitted to the upper end of the post. The post is formed from two telescopically interconnected members, and a friction grip means is provided for fixing the two members relative to each other at a selected height. The holder may itself be flexible and the connection between the base and the post is preferably resiliently flexible so that an articulated connection between post and base is achieved, and the post is biased to its operatively vertical orientation. The components are preferably all easily disengagable from each other so that the device can be erected and disassembled without difficulty.
