This has always been one of our top picks for hitter training. The teams we work with always like it when the BatAction is one of the stations set up for practice. The bigger guys try to wrap the power cords right around the post on each hit. Hits that are topped or under-cut create a wobble in the rod as it returns for the next swing, so everyone works at getting good, square-on contact - or they get to work on nasty breaking pitches. - Richard Todd, WebBall

Unique approach to solo soft-toss training

The Tru-Toss Bounce Feeder is the most versatile, non-electric soft toss unit available. We are stronger believers in soft toss as an important part of hitter training. It helps the batter find his swing path, with the demands of quick reaction/adjustment time. The Tru-Toss bounces the balls up which adds to the challenge. Toss height and angle are adjustable - it can be used for side toss, front toss and even back toss drills. And it works with any balls. The batter taps the feed unit which then delivers the ball in about 4-5 seconds.

The Handsback Hitter is one training aids we've used a lot. That said, we don't use it exactly per manufacturer's specs. The Pro (the one we use with 13-15 year olds, but okay for 10 and up), has an added benefit - you can switch it around for lefties and righties, so you can use it for working both inside (out front) and outside (deeper contact) pitches. We also set the ground elbow to minimum extension to keep the swing tight, and we work with our hitters to connect with the ball on the pop up, not the down arc. This is to avoid any disconnect in body mechanics midswing (stride and hip turn happen in sync). It gets a workout both at practices and during pre-game routines. - Richard Todd, WebBall Head Coach

Now 3 models and each one includes a
training CD...

Mini-wiffles are a great hand-eye training tool. WebBall has recommended them for years. Plus they can be used almost anywhere (short travel, low impact). But the problem with mini-whiffles is they're hard to pitch with control or accuracy. Not now. The Personal Pitcher throws straight and hard and the Pro model adds pitch selection. It has helped our hitters focus during BP sessions and pre-game. It's light enough to take anywhere - to both home and away games. - Richard Todd, WebBall

Work on fastballs, curveballs and sliders anywhere

The Personal Pitcher delivers Golf-ball size Wiffle™ balls hard and fast to develop hand-eye coordination, improve focus and reaction time. The PP Pro model adds the kind of pitch control you'd expect to find only in pitching machines costing 7 times as much. Original patent, includes 4 hr. rechargeable battery ($25-$30 value), 4 doz. mini-balls ($20-$25 value), and an extended 2-yr warranty.

(Tripod available option.)

Track bat speeds of all ages and skill levels and see how a player's performance compares after training adjustments. Or use it as a scouting aid in tryouts and team practices.

Don't just measure bat speed, measure ball speed!

Until now, all devices for measuring hitting power have measured the speed of the bat. But what hitters really want to know is how well their swing is being tranferred to the ball. Now you can train based on exit speed... to find your optimum swing for developing power. As every good instructor, coach and player knows - when you measure performance you're on track for real improvement. In the Power Hitting Station line are options up to a complete transportable trainer's system.

The pre-production model was introduced at The Super Show in Las Vegas, Jan. 03, and was immediately a candidate for product of the year. Though extensively tested, including performance evaluation and calibration analysis with a state-of-the-art mechanized golf club swing system, WebBall held off on our own recommendation until we could evaluate a standard production model. We now have - testing it for both baseball and golf - and the Swing Speed Radar lives up to the advanced billing. Easy to set up, easy to use. It has proven popular with baseball coaches, especially those into golf. - Richard Todd, WebBall

It's not how hard you swing...but how well you swing!

The Swing Speed Radar® is a small, inexpensive tool that will improve your swing mechanics by providing accurate feedback on the bat speed as you make adjustments to your mechanics. This microwave Doppler radar velocity sensor is easy to set up for baseball or softball. You can hook it on a chainlink fence (about 4-5' behind you) as you hit off a tee. Or position it directly in front of you on a tripod as you practice dry swings. It works just as well for golf when positioned behind or at an angle to your clubhead contact point.

Balance and feedback for hitters & pitchers

Proprioception is the term used to describe the feedback that tells an athlete if his movements are in balance. Amplifying the feedback challenges the stability mechanisms and hones performance.

Balance discs (top image) and beams (bottom image) are recommended to provide proprioceptor training.
