Product Description
The Hitting stick is quite simply the most effective and versatile batting drill device available today. Its strength lies in its sheer simplicity. It resembles a baseball on the hitting end, This is attached to a long, flexible shaft, fiberglass compound. This in turn, is connected to an easy grip handle that is held by the coach or drill partner. The result is a simple, safe, controllable, and non threatening device that has proven to dramatically improve hitting stance, contact, and bat control. It is much more affordable than traditional mechanical pitching devices, and offers more control and safety than any other product

If you are a parent or player looking for a batting aid to use for your personal use, the Baseball Hitting Stick may be a good product for you. It requires one person to hold it and one person to swing at it, so it is not a product that the batter can use by him/herself. However, it is an excellent tool as it allows the batter maximum reps and provides good feedback on whether they hit the target well or not.
As a coach, you need a hitting stick or similar product as a batting station, as it is much a much faster and efficient station than using a tee, and it is the very definition of “simple to use” which means that your players can run the station and allow you to coach and supervise. I also like using “baseball-sized” hitting sticks for fastpitch softball practice because it is a smaller target for my players to hit. Until it broke, I was very satisfied with it.
I bought this Hitting Stick about a year ago. It lasted through three girls softball seasons before the end split in two (horizontally, underneath the ball). A couple of weeks before that, the plastic that held the baseball end to the black fiberglass casing broke off. The elastic wrist band had stretched out a little bit by then, but was still stretchy enough to fit over the holder’s wrist and help her hold the stick when it got it. The padded holder end was still basically good-as-new.
I figure that my Baseball Hitting Stick got hit by about 33,000 swings from 14U and 12U recreational league and All-Star girls fastpitch softball players using their aluminum bats. In comparison, another Hitting Wand that I’ve used only lasted about 11,000 swings.
