Combination lock

The system includes a stance and stride chart adapted to lie flatly on the ground and having indicia thereon indicating home plate and the proper location for a batter's feet as he stands adjacent home plate in preparation for taking a stride during a batting swing. Further included is a ball toss device adapted to be positioned forwardly adjacent the stride chart and operable to loft a ball gently through the strike zone above the plate for hitting by the batter as he completes the swing. A catching net may be positioned forwardly of the chart to collect batted balls. The ball toss device is operable to loft a supply of balls sequentially and at spaced intervals toward the strike zone and has the capability of adjustment for accommodating either hardballs or larger diameter softballs. An adjustment is also provided which enables the loft of the balls being propelled from the device to be varied substantially in order that the device may be used to propel ground balls toward a fielder instead of lofting them toward a batter.
