Product Reviews

Skinny bat, fat results.

I honestly believe this has helped my 7 year old’s batting. He has not struck out since we started using this training aid. I pitch him a couple dozen of these golf balls in the backyard before his games. The golf balls give good feed back without traveling too far. His biggest issue now is laying off pitches, he swings at everything, but thanks to this he hits even the bad pitches.

Perfect for our 9-10 year old baseball team

This is a great tool. We started using it right before our 9-10 year old playoffs and it really helped several kids. The weight is comparable to a regular bat for an 8-10 year old but once you go above 10 it may be too light. Which isn’t an issue necessarily as the goal is hand eye coordination BUT think it really fits perfectly for 8-10 year olds.

Bat is ok but the plastic balls you could have …

Bat is ok but the Plastic Balls you could have kept them, they busted after one hit. Had to buy rawlings 5 inch tape balls.I checked back and the item should have came with the soft balls and not the plastic balls.

I would add the little foam yellow balls like I did

I coach an 8u baseball team, and this has helped my kids hit the ball square on. I would add the little foam yellow balls like I did, the 2 wiffle balls are useless. you can actually pitch or soft toss those. well worth the money though. This, plus a dozen of the yellow mini balls is still well under what you pay for a slim bat the big sport stores

Very light, great for the price!

Very light aluminum and easy to swing. The whiffle golf balls aren’t the best quality, but I really bought this for the bat so my daughter could practice for softball. Great product for the price.

Great training tool!

My 6 yr old son was having difficulty making contact with standard bat and ball. We began using this for practice to develop better coordination and it has worked well. This week he managed to get his first good hit off a player pitcher! Great tool and value!
