2. The combination with the base, of a pivot at the top and a fastening rod or pin 1) at the bottom, a swinging arm pivotally connected to said pivot, and having a ball attached to its outer end, substantially as described.
In a device for practicing golf, the base having a convex surface higher ori one side than the other and a pivot, with a swinging arm connected by'an eye to said pivot and having a ball attached to its outer end, substantially as described.
4c. 'lhecombination with a base having an inclined upper surface and a vertically-adjustable pivot having a knob, of a swinging arm pivotally connected to said pivot and havtially as described.
5. The base having at the top an inclined runway, in combination with a central pivot, a swinging arm connected thereto and a ball attached to the outer end of said arm, substantially as described.
6. The base having att-he top a circular inclinecl runway, in combination with a-vertically-adjustable pivot, a swinging arm connected thereto and a ball attached to the outer end 0!? said arm, substantially as described.
7. The base A, having a central screwthreaded opening, in combination with the adjustable screw-threaded pivot and the screwthreaded fastening rod or pin D held in said opening and a swinging arm connected to said pivot and having a ball attached to its outer end, substantially as described.
8. The combination with the base, of an adjustable pivot having a tapering stem and head or knob, a swinging arm pivotally connected to said stem and a ball attached to its outer end, substantially as described.
