WebBall.com - Hitting Stations and Training Tools

This page brings together larger hitting stations - those devises that allow you to train independently with fixed or reloadable targets. Also featured are unique hitter instructional aids. Please check other menu items for Batting Tees (including hand-held targets), Cages & Screens and Pitching Machines.

For advice on improving swing mechanics and batting averages, check out Hitting Videos and Hitting Books. And don't forget bats for Training and Game Use.

The SwingAway has always been one of the best hitter training aids around. The challenges have been availability and affordability. Now, we're happy to report, both have been resolved. The new Lite model makes it possible to have all the performance of this patented tethered-ball system for under $200. And the Elite will stand up to the rigors of constant use at a fraction of what it once cost for the original $500 pro models. I have been working with one of the new models and I like the stability of the lower boom, the easy ball-height adjustability, and the versatility of the hitting mat for working on inside and outside pitches. A WebBall top pick. - Richard Todd, Head Coach

Turn any 10x10 space into a complete hitter training station.

Indoors or out, the next generation SwingAway lets varsity and youth players experience the most popular pro hitting station ever made - for less. The patented bungee cord system and hitting mat allows you to position the ball anywhere inside the strike zone and get hit after hit. It resets in 3 seconds so you can take as many swings as your arms can handle.

Two models in almost identical size are made with different gauges of galvanized steel - heavier US steel on the Elite model, and lighter 18-gauge import steel on the less expensive model.

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

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

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.
