User questions & answers

Question:	How does this compare to the swingaway mvp
Answer:	No clue, my team has only used this product. The swingaway mvp looks like it would take longer to set up and also looks like more problems could occur with it.
Question:	Can I use this for a high school softball team
Answer:	Yes just buy the softball version and you are good to go. I use this with my 8u team and they love it.
Question:	Would this hold up to a 13 year old boy? Not a power hitter by any means but it looks like most of the reviews are from parents with younger kids
Answer:	You bet. One season with both high school varsity softball and baseball teams hitting this trainer, and it's still going. Colder than average spring had us inside two or more days every week plus Sunday batting cage sessions. If you're outside with it, it can be staked down. Inside had us putting two boxes of the office's copy paper in it to hold it down. It'll require a hand tightening at the beginning of every session (no time or effort really required with the nylon hand grip bolt heads) and it's good for your son and 8 of his buddies.
Question:	Is it box contents ready to play after assembly and bat? Or do additional items to use sold seperatley
Answer:	It is ready after assembly. If you do not have a decent wooden bat, you need one. The trainer will eventually ruin a metal bat. This trainer is GREAT. My son uses it all the time.

User questions & answers

Question:	Would this product be ok for 13U? He is 5feet 10 inches tall and weighs about 200 pounds
Answer:	This wonderful floatation device is basically a "onesie" with an inner tube attached. It's amazing & highly recommended. No way baby can accidentally escape or fall out. Highly recommended!
Question:	Is this for baseball or softball ? I've seem some with the bigger softball head on it. I need the smaller baseball head for Rookie league
Answer:	My 2 year old son loves this thing and it made him love the pool. Once he got this he started jumping off the diving board and everything - before he would barely get in the pool - it’s fitted enough at top that it’s kind of loose near the bottom for the bit of Freedom he needs there - we joke that he looks like Borat :)
Question:	The instructions state to use a practice bat and not a game bat with this item. Does anyone know of a good practice bat to get
Answer:	I have 2 .. just ordered this color last night .. I have had for 2 years just blowing up by mouth, it has never lost air! I use this for my 1 year old and now 3 year old! Both learn to swim using this tube!! Best tube I have found and I have bought many also!!

User questions & answers

Question:	Can this be used for adult slow pitch to working on hiting
Answer:	Yes, we have many experienced softball players using the product and telling us the same swing mechanics/concepts apply slow pitch softball
Question:	Does this aid help to prevent dropping the hands, or conversely, does it help keep the hands up? (Softball specifically
Answer:	Yes - It provides immediate feedback if/when your hands drop more than several inches and do not take a direct path to the ball. We've actually had hitting coaches in several mlb organizations tell us they use it specifically for this purpose with some of their younger players.
Question:	Will this fit an 8 year old
Answer:	In my opinion this device/swing trainer would be too complicated for an 8 year old. This is a more advance trainer for older hitters. I would suggest a good hitting tee and a net for an 8 year old
Question:	Where is this product being shipped from
Answer:	MILWAUKEE, WI

• Synthetic
• Improve timing and confidence

User questions & answers

Question:	I'm not a sports person but my girlfriend brother plays college baseball, would this be ok as small fun Christmas gift? or will he break the thing
Answer:	If not used properly, the cable can become jammed at the end where height adjustment of the ball is made. That's what happened to the portable trainer I have when used by my son's 13/14yr old teammates. A college hitter shouldn't have that problem. As long as contact with the ball is proper and consistent, he can get hundreds of repetitions. I also recommend not leaving it outside where the weather can cause the ball to deteriorate. Fun gift though.
Question:	Does this work with the SKLZ Hit-A-Aw baseball swing trainer pole
Answer:	The u bolt that attaches the upper cable of the baseball has a captive nut inside the pole. It cannot be removed unless you cut the cable. This will not work in the baseball trainer without significant modification.
Question:	Is this item come with pole? Or what is exactly deliver for this item
Answer:	This item is only what you see in the picture. It does not come with the pole. It is designed to be attached to an established pole, tree or the SKLZ swing trainer.
Question:	my basketball goal pole is too big... about 5in square. Any Idea on how to install it
Answer:	I used a pole from a chain link fence and just drove that into the ground. they are pretty cheap at Lowes or Home Depot

User questions & answers

Question:	I bought this for my grandson and there are no instructions to assemble, can I get them on line somehow

Answer:	Dear Lee, Our box size is about 44.85 x 5.46 x 5.46inches. Please let us know if you have any other questions via email at [email protected]. Thank you, McHom Customer Service Team
Question:	Will this material with the catcher print hold up to 80mph fastballs for pitching lessons
Answer:	Yes, we offer free replacement poles within guarantee, please contact us at , thank you!
Question:	We bought this for xmas and went to put it together this week.We are missing the 6 connector pieces(I think it was part 9).Can we get replacements
Answer:	Before I even answer that question, please please please think about spending an extra 20-30 dollars and get a better quality net. Believe me!! This thing is beyond cheap, and I so wish I had spent a little extra the first time. My son was 13 when we got this- threw 65-70 at best. It falls over with every pitch. Before the first 20 minutes had past after we put it outside, we had stacked for large pieces of wood around it to try and ground it. The "target" is a cheap piece of red nylon tape that tore before the end of hour one. Our son was so frustrated with it, he didn't even want to bother with it. The whole point was so he could practice new pitch delivery accuracy whenever he wanted to. Epic Mom fail there!Now- ours sits in the rain currently- I see no decline in it's high quality craftsmanship.... ;) Learn from my mistake!

User questions & answers

Question:	Is the training stick safe for use with composite bats
Answer:	They're very light weight. In some ways I believe this lack of weight inhibits the inertia of an actual swing. Secondly, this bat is only applicable to wiffle or light weight foam balls...
Question:	Is this retractable
Answer:	Hello, I am not sure that this item will help you much with dry swings. The flight of the ball is the feedback that you should be looking for. I guess you might get a benefit from reps keeping your hands in.
Question:	Do you sell extra baseball ends for this
Answer:	The bigger bat will work for her.
Question:	I bought the baseball version of this stick since they were out of softball versions. Does it matter? Thanks
Answer:	I just depends on how often you use the Insider Bat. If you use it once a week, it could take a few months. If you use it every day for about 20-30mins... you should start to see memory in about 2 weeks. IMO. My daughter uses this product, and was turned on by her hitting coach. There is a visual side to this... you don't hit the ball if you roll. The direction you hit is dependent on the mechanics. When you can notice the mechanics and the placement of the hit (response) you realize the mechanics are "spot on." Then, you always need to reiterate those mechanics; not as often as the beginning, but every week when we go to hitting, they usually spend about 5 minutes on the insider bat to check the mechanics.

• 7 second pitches: This electronic pitching machine for kids is a great way to encourage them to practice their batting skills. The ball pitches every 7 seconds for improved accuracy and precision on the field. Assembled height 7.75 x 9.5 x 9.875 inches
• Flashing indicator: A flashing red indicator light shows when the ball pitches, making it easy to prepare in your baseball stance. You get all the fun of a batting cage right in the comfort of your own backyard
• Height adjustment: The height of this baseball pitching machine is adjustable, making it a great option for developing young athletes. It’s perfect for practicing multiple batting angles and styles
• Six balls included: This batting machine includes six white aero strike balls. You should not use regulation baseballs or tee balls with this baseball machine – only use the balls included. The ball shoot can hold upto 9 balls
• Improve batting performance: Your child should ideally use a plastic baseball bat with this pitching machine. There’s no better kids baseball pitching machine to help them grow and improve as they practice
• Note: Kindly refer user manual and installation manual before use

User questions & answers

Question:	Do you have to hit with a whiffle bat or can you use a real/aluminum bat
Answer:	My son, daughter, and myself have used a child's aluminum T-ball bat. I can swing full speed with jugs poly baseballs and no issues. Jugs Balls are more consistent than the ones it came with. Huge upgrade for small money. Other limited flight styles may work also. Only have tried jugs based on others reviews and recommendations. Glad I did!! https://www.amazon.com/Jugs-Poly-Baseballs-Dozen-White/dp/B00R8EWOZK/ref=pd_aw_sim_21_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=ZBCV9C1RHS5BE9G713RW
Question:	Can you put baseballs in it
Answer:	No real baseballs, just plastic ones.
Question:	how fast does it go
Answer:	About 30 to 40 mph from a distance of 25 to 30 feet. The balls that come with it, or are recommended for it, are junk, however it works great if you buy JUGGS plastic balls. I've had one in my basement for several years hitting JUGGS balls with wood bats and love it. The balls break occasionally after a long period of time but can really take a beating. I set-up the machine on stacked crates so that the machine is at shoulder height thus replicating a very inexpensive indoor pitching machine. If you buy good balls they will be delivered consistently in the strike zone. The best money I've spent for practicing baseball in the winter.
Question:	I need something like this for my dog, I say need because my shoulder/arm can't take much more. Will this work or any other suggestions
Answer:	My dog loves it but he only brings the balls back...hasnt grasped the concept of putting then back in the basket yet. It didn't launch very far but I put it on a chair to add height. Someone suggested I buy wiffle balls (I bought a neon green set from Amazon)... they worked great.

Question:	How much does each model weigh

User questions & answers

Question:	How long is this
Answer:	It’s about the length equivalent to home plate to the pitcher’s mound also comes with an extra rope. At least mine did.
Question:	Is this used for softball also or is there a different one
Answer:	I’d say yes because it’s a ball that is between baseball and softball size
Question:	I can't seem to get this to work and was so excited. Tips on the technique
Answer:	Make sure ropes aren't tangled.Then get some grease Vaseline will work also put some on the ropes then move ball through grease by hand next lay ropes on ground get a water hose and soak the ropes this makes it superfast. As for technique make you put tension on rope and pull apart really fast ball should be moving once pitched bring handles back together so ball returns to you. You will get a great shoulder workout. I have no complaints accept for the ball but the grease reduces the frictions and so far it has worked great it helped my twins start getting hits instead of striking out good luck hope this helps.
Question:	For those who have owned this product for more than 6 months, how durable is the ball and how does it hold up over time
Answer:	I'm on my 3rd one in 3 seasons. That may sound bad, but I keep buying it for a reason. It's a nice tool to simulate various pitch speeds during before game warmups if there's not a batting cage. We're an 12U team and have been using it since our 10U season. We've never had problems with the ball. The cord is what wears out on us. We play 6-8 games a week and about 60-70 games a year, and by the last 15 games or so, the cord either broke or became so frayed that it was useless. This season I took it to Lowes and found a small enough plastic coated cable to replace the rope cord that comes with it. Hopefully it'll hold up much better now. But in the end, even if it doesn't, I feel that I still got my money's worth by the time the provided cord broke down in the past seasons.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is the quality adequate as a whiffle ball backstop
Answer:	Those types of balls should be fine on the unit. You may want to add some weight to the base to ensure it does not get knocked over.
Question:	How does it hold up being outside all the time
Answer:	Yes, but I would suggest you anchor it, at that distane the pitch would knock it over if you don't. Also, the ball will come back at you faster than you threw it.
Question:	i throw around 45 (softball) and my brother throws 60 baseball is that ok
Answer:	Yes...and, no. You can set up the net independently but the base part of the frame is in the way. If you wish to play on one side of the net only, it works better. I've also stood on a box to deliver balls over the net to player(s) to help them read a more realistic over the net incoming ball. It's a great unit when you don't have time to set up an actual net, and works especially well for individual training.
Question:	I am throwing about 55-60 from 60 feet. Would this work for me
Answer:	It comes with poles for girls regulation 7'4" and poles for 7'11" for men.

Question:	Is this compatible with the new bats they are making all youth baseball players purchase for the 2018 seasons
Answer:	One end has a softball sized ball, the other end has a baseball sized ball on the end. This stick will work for both softball and baseball. The baseball obviously smaller in size will be harder to hit but will improve the accuracy, and coordination of the batter.
