Patent attributes
A tennis ball holding apparatus includes a central tubular shaft that has a bore formed therein and has apertures formed along a length thereof. A base has legs radially extending outward from a central shaft bottom end and is monolithically formed with the central shaft. A non-linear boom is spaced above the central shaft and has an eyelet mated to a proximal end thereof. The proximal end of the non-linear boom is linearly offset from a distal end thereof. A support bracket has a bottom arm telescopically engaged with the central shaft and includes a tubular top sleeve that is adjustably connected to the linear bottom arm. A mechanism is included for automatically returning the boom to an equilibrium height. A cord is tethered to the eyelet, includes a fastener attached to a bottom end thereof for holding a tennis ball, and is spaced proximal to the automatic returning mechanism.
