A friend of mine told me about the hitting rope they used when their son switched to machine pitch. It was a climbing rope on a swingset with a big knot in it.
We didn't have a climbing rope but DH improvised.

Cut off the branches that are getting in the way

Hang the ball from the rope tethered to the tree

Hit the ball

And again

And again

Looks like fun! Can C make something like that for me for tennis?
Very cool. Especially the beer needed to perform the task! Is the rope anchored at the bottom? I can't tell...
Susan - Yes, it is tied to the bottom of the tree. Without the anchor it was wrapping around the tree, multiple times.
