Easton | TRAINING STICK

What an awesome product. When this arrived we took it out and immediately started hitting, as pointed out in several other reviews it has many positive attributes.1) My favorite thing may be being able to access my kid's swing without worrying about taking a line drive to the face.2) It offers immediate feedback as to what type of hit it would be, there is a distinctive sound when you get a good hit and a little hit. You can get and idea of of pop up or dribbler.3) The sound it produces is a great confidence booster to help younger players improve the mental aspect of their game....which can be as important as the physical aspects to some kids.4) You really have the ability to view every aspect of a kid's swing, including the set up at a close range to make sure they are starting correctly to begin with.5) It is comfortable to use and has two sized balls for baseball or softball. We are using the softball now but will switch to the baseball as our daughter gets better hand-eye cordination.6) It's FUN! I had three kids at my house yesterday and they couldn't wait to hit it.It seems like it will be very durable too, well made. We have already noticed a huge improvement in our daughter's swing and hitting the ball really well. We plan to pair this with the Zip N' Hit pro too to help with moving balls. We don't have any cages near us so we are trying to supplement at home as much as we can.

Was coaching a baseball team and softball team this past fall and was looking to add a little equipment that would be useful for my own kids plus help with the teams, and this was a worthwhile addition. At practices, this was a great addition to hitting stations - could have a kid hitting off the stick, one on the tee, and one hitting wiffles or something similar. Great for having a rotation. Then at games, this was great to bring along to give each of the kids some swings before their first at bat of the game, to get them warmed up and their confidence a little boost. Have only used one two-team season, but so far it looks like it will handle the wear and tear well.

I used this with my son's little league team. With some of the boys who were not hitting anything (even coach pitch), there was immediate improvement after using this for as little as five minutes.I found some of the boys (including my son) were swinging just below this trainer every time, even when I wasn't moving it. Just above belt high, and they whiffed, over and over. They were swinging in the same place every time, but their brain was sending their hands to the wrong place. That explained some of their strikeouts. I was able to help them reprogram their eye-hand coordination and swing a little higher. I think it really helped a lot.It also works well as a warm up tool, either pregame or pre-at bat. You can practice high swings, low swings, inside/outside, etc. It allows the kids to focus on a target and get the positive feedback of clobbering something, not just idly swinging a bat around.And no balls to shag, can be used almost anywhere, etc.

9-12 year olds play softball and pony league. It definitely helps with hand-eye coordination. Unfortunately the hand strap ripped after a dozen hits.

Great value. Safer way to warm up batters and work on swing changes.

Purchased for my daughter in her 1st season of little league. Excellent aid to work on contact, form, positioning, and hand-eye coordination. Immediate results!

My son's coach recommended this to help my son develop his swing. The results were amazing. By the end of the season his swing had improved tremendously and he was one of the top 5 hitters on the team.

Working on perfecting your swing was never easier. This training stick can be held at strike level so the batter can concentrate on getting the swing down to perfection. The batting stick is easier to use than the standard t-ball style base. There is no reload of the ball and it doesn't tip over when hit. You do need another person to hold the stick, which is no big deal. The second person also serves as the spotter and can give feedback to the batter. This training stick met our expectations and serves it's purpose well.

This helps young players to hit the ball at different eye levels during batting practices

My nephew hit his first base hit and not only 1 but 2 base hits tonight and scored a run. . Great practice stick

Fast shipping, product great for hitting practice.

It’s a good tool, the girls all want a turn

It's great! Came in a HUGE box - but it's great!
