You can't control getting a base hit, but you sure can control hitting good pitches hard... somewhere!
Learning the strikezone comes from training and experience.
Training with focus beats training alone anyday. Swing regularly with this Kinect Training Bat and you will learn to consistently hit a ball solidly by repeating the proper mechanics and realizing that you cannot hit balls hard if and when they are outside the strike zone!
Once you "get it", you are on your way to better understanding & control of the strikezone.
You will become that guy who makes the pitchers work harder... causing all kinds of mistakes and bad pitches that you can just crush!
Now you are learning to swing at strikes... and hitting them hard more often!
Using a small diameter bat is like taking game intensity at-bats... any time and any place you might take normal Batting Practice!
JP Review
If you can hit a small ball, you can hit a larger ball, right?
How about if you hit with a smaller diameter bat? Yep... same thing. And this improvement is being accomplished with no one asking a player to spend any more time than they already are working on their swing!
Now how about if you combine a small barrel bat with a smaller ball... awesome!
(Added effort comes from the heart... not our training aids.)
Just get yourself one of our Kinect Bats by Ripken Baseball (yes, that Ripken), and do your normal tee drills, soft toss work or even live batting practice!
This bat feels just like your aluminum gamer (aluminum or composite game bat). It has great pop and balance as well as a real shock absorbing handle with a large enough knob that allows you to hold this bat with the same ease as most metal bats.
What it doesn't allow are many of the cheap bloop hits that you are presently being credited with, so you will now earn every hard hit ball you get ... a perfect concept for the truly competitive ballplayer.
Our small barrel bats just make baseball training sense!
If you can hit a small ball, you can hit a game size ball. Add our small diameter Kinect Bat and you will focus even more!
More hard hits and less... missing just by taking the swings you will take anyway whether off a batting tee, in a soft toss or flip drill station or even front or live batting practice. Muscle memory times become reduced and consistent contact increased by players drilling with a smaller diameter bat and adding a smaller diameter ball!
Why Does This Training Bat Cost So Much?
See this as a game quality bat... and we all know that you cannot buy a top-end game bat for this price. It is made of the same very expensive "888" aluminum alloy that so many name brand bats are made with, it has optimal balance and features an anti shock handle system as well. You take game quality hacks and should see optimal improvement!
Important safety note on small ball training:
Do NOT use the small game balls in a batting cage and/or especially with a live pitcher.
(Technically, the 8" diameter balls should be fine but the popular 7" balls can cause harm when you are depending on netting to protect others in a cage or behind screens or similar).
Some small training baseballs or softballs can go through standard batting cage netting!
