Abstract
Disclosed is a ball support specially designed for golf practice, which mainly consists of a disk-like base and a ball holder associated with the base. The base is preferably made of rubber material and has a substantially conic top surface and a central through hole with downward expanded lower portion. The ball holder is also preferably made of rubber material and has a seat having a configuration corresponding to that of the central through hole of the base such that the ball holder may be fitly received in the base. The ball holder further has an inwardly curved and reduced waist portion and a top portion above the waist portion for holding a ball thereon. The top portion of the ball holder has a central semi-spherical recess and a further reduced hole formed on a bottom of the semi-spherical recess. With these arrangements, the club, the ball holder, and/or the disk-like base are not easily damaged due to incorrectly swung club during the practice.
