An adjustable batting tee is provided which includes a first plate member shaped like home plate, a second plate member spaced apart from the first plate member and an elongated armature adjustably interconnecting the first and second plate members such that the relative position of the second plate member with respect to the first plate member can be selectively adjusted. An upright ball support member is attached to the second plate member for supporting a ball to be hit that includes telescoping post members which permit the height of the ball to be selectively adjusted. The armature and uppermost post are flexible so as to absorb the forces generated by the user hitting the ball or ball support member.

An adjustable batting tee for use on ground and floor support surfaces, comprising: a first plate member positioned on said support surface; a second plate member positioned on said support surface and spaced apart from said first plate member, said second plate member having substantial area for contact with said support surface but being smaller in area than said first plate member; an upright ball support means attached to said second plate member for supporting a ball to be hit; and an elongated flexible armature having a first end connected to said first plate member by a first fastener means and a second end connected to said second plate by a second fastener means, at least one of said first and second fastener means beng adjustable such that the relative position of said second plate member with respect to said first plate member is selectively adjustable; said second plate member being adapted to tip on said support surface in response to a bat impacting said ball or said ball support means such that said armature flexes upwardly between the ends thereof to absorb the forces of impact and thereby minimizes transmission of forces from said ball support means to said first fastener means and whereby movement of said first plate member with respect to said support surface is substantially eliminated.
