1. A system for improving a user's hand-eye coordination, the system comprising:

a hollow member comprising a plurality of apertures disposed along at least a portion of a length of said hollow member, said hollow member further including an end aperture positioned at an end of said hollow member for securing a flexible line;

a flexible line, said flexible line for threading into and out of said hollow member through at least some of said plurality of apertures, said flexible line also passing through said end aperture for allowing said flexible line to hang down from said hollow member;

a stand structure coupled to said hollow member to support said hollow member at a height sufficient to dispose said flexible line at a location above a ground surface;

a first target coupled to said flexible line at a height above said ground surface, wherein a user can strike said first target to improve said user's hand-eye coordination; wherein said flexible line passes through a hole in said first target;

a weight coupled to said flexible line; and

a second target, said second target being formed from a frayed portion of said flexible line at a location below said first target; wherein said frayed portion is of substantial length for serving as an alternate target.

2. The system of claim 1 wherein the hollow member further comprises an end cap that includes an end aperture and that is coupled to an end of the hollow member.

3. The system of claim 1 wherein the first target comprises a ball.

4. The system of claim 3 wherein the ball includes a hole through which the flexible line passes.

5. The system of claim 1 wherein the weight keep the flexible line substantially taut when the flexible line hangs down from the hollow member in a resting position.

6. The system of claim 1 wherein the flexible line is a rope, a cable, a string, a cord or a wire.

7. The system of claim 1 wherein the weight comprises tape, rubber, plastic, metal, or wood.

8. The system of claim 1 wherein the weight is a nut, washer, or ball bearing.

9. The system of claim 1 wherein the stand structure comprises a plurality of separable members, at least one of the separable members being coupled to the hollow member.

10. The system of claim 1 wherein the stand structure is coupled to the hollow member by a male/female connection.

11. The system of claim 1 further comprising a base that is coupled to the stand structure.

12. The system of claim 11 wherein the base is coupled to the stand structure by a male/female connection.

13. The system of claim 11 wherein the base comprises a plurality of support members.

14. The system of claim 13 wherein each of the support members is cylindrical.

15. The system of claim 13 wherein at least one of the support members is coupled to the stand structure by a male/female connection.

16. The system of claim 1 wherein the first and second targets move when struck by an object wielded by a user, and the object is a bat, a racket or a club.

17. A system for improving a user's hand-eye coordination, the system comprising:

a hollow member comprising a plurality of apertures disposed along at least a portion of a length of said hollow member, said hollow member further including an end aperture positioned at an end of said hollow member for securing a flexible line;

a flexible line, said flexible line for threading into and out of said hollow member through at least some of said plurality of apertures, said flexible line also passing through said end aperture for allowing said flexible line to hang down from said hollow member;

a stand structure coupled to said hollow member to support said hollow member at a height sufficient to dispose said flexible line at a location above a ground surface;

a first target coupled to said flexible line at a height about said ground surface, wherein a user can strike said first target to improve said user's hand-eye coordination; wherein said flexible line passes through a hole in said first target; and wherein the first target comprises a ball

a weight positioned on said flexible line; and

a second target, said second target being formed from a frayed portion of said flexible line at a location below said first target; wherein said frayed portion is of substantial length for serving as an alternate target.

18. The system of claim 17 wherein the hollow member further comprises an end cap that includes an end aperture and that is coupled to an end of the hollow member.

19. The system of claim 17 wherein the weight keeps the flexible line substantially taut when the flexible line hangs down from the hollow member in a resting position.

20. The system of claim 19 wherein the weight comprises tape, rubber, plastic, metal or wood.

21. The system of claim 17 wherein the first and second targets move when struck by an object wielded by the user.

22. The system of claim 17 wherein the stand structure comprises a plurality of separable members, at least one of the separable members being coupled to the hollow member.

23. The system of claim 17 wherein the stand structure is coupled to the hollow member by a male/female connection.

24. The system of claim 17 further comprising a base that is coupled to the stand structure.

25. The system of claim 24 wherein the base is coupled to the stand structure by a male/female connection.

26. The system of claim 17 wherein the base comprises a plurality of support members.

27. The system of claim 26 wherein each of the support members is cylindrical.

28. The system of claim 26 wherein at least one of the support members is coupled to the stand structure by a male/female connection.
