Details

The Bratt Bat is a unique weighted bat used during training and in the on deck circle

Its patented design distributes the weight along the barrel giving it the balance of your hitting bat. The lexan plastic tube and hard wood handle used in the manufacture of Bratt's Bat make it virtually indestructible and one of the safest on-deck products available. It is the ideal replacement for the donut weight.

Used by the Champs

Some years back, The Anaheim Angels bought 6 Bratt's Bats and proceeded to win the World Series that year. One week after winning the World Series they bought 6 more. All we can say is that Bratt's Bats have been working great for Major Leaguers since 1977, but it's what it can do for you that counts. You may know how great a hitter you can be until you swing a Bratt's Bat 50 to 100 times each day.

Why does the Bratt's Bat work?

Bratt's Bat works because it makes you do the work. It doesn't swing itself as other weighted products do. Working with Bratt's Bat develops dynamic strength, which to a hitter means quickness and power. It loosens your hitting muscles as it strengthens them. The hands, wrists, and arms benefit most from its use. Bratt's Bat will add points to both your batting average and slugging percentage.

To choose the correct size model, I would recommend you consider:

1st - Doubling the weight of your game bat (length is not as critical).

2nd - Going up or down in weight by honestly deciding how hard you want to work.

For Ages:	Bat Length	Weight
6-9	29 inch	35 ounces
10-12	31 inch	50 ounces
13-15	32 inch	55 ounces
14-17	34 inch	60 ounces
18 and up	35 inch	80 ounces

The table above is a rough guide for selecting the weight of your Bratt's Bat. A large ball player may want to choose a heavier size than listed for their age. Pre-puberty players should NOT consider heavier bats.

Remember - A bad swing may take 3 good swings to get back to even!

Proper swing mechanics must be used for EVERY swing! - Limit consecutive swings to the number of good swings in a row...then take a break!

Coaching Tip - Have your players hit tennis balls with a Bratt's Bat. It makes for a great station, especially when hit from soft toss at home plate. Players must focus to keep hitting to their same area and it becomes progressively harder as they hit more, since the bat gets "heavier."
