Abstract
A sphere type shift control apparatus for an electronic shift system has a sphere member rotated with respect to a housing by power from a motor, and the rotation of the sphere member is restricted by holding torque of the motor, such that it is possible to implement a shift lock. Further, since a user can forcibly manually rotate the sphere member, the function of shift lock release can be implemented.
