Insider Bat Baseball Softball Batting Swing Trainer Hitting Training Aid Tool Device

Great tool for young hitters learning how to hit properly. Great quality!

Bought reluctantly after watching several youtube videos showing this training bat in use.My 8 year old son has (had) a descending bat path, with wrist rollover in the impact zone. To get bat on plane with the ball, which is on a descending arch, the bat path needs to be slightly ascending.He was crossing paths with the ball,.like an X, and only got hits when timing was perfect. Even still, the resultant pull side grounders were the norm, with occasional weak pop flys barely into the outfield. Line drives the rarity.Two days with the insider bat, 1.5 hours each day, 100-150 limited flight balls. He's now swinging slightly upward and no longer rolling his wrist in the impact zone. Today with the skinny bat and golf ball whiffle balls, he's hitting line drives. I'm beside myself, truly. He's finishing the swing above shoulder, rather than around his mid torso. Day and night difference.Had hoped to have him more fundamentally sound within 2-3 weeks when he has his first little league game. Very impressed by what this training bat has done for my son after two days.Be advised, it may start off rocky, he was frustrated for the first hour or so. I suggest watching the insider bat youtube videos (the guy in green baseball uniform), the freeze on impact drill being the first drill I would try. Then move on to the one hand drills, briefly (difficult for my son). Then 3/4 swing freezing up top, then full swings at 75% speed. This is not a tool for a young child to use alone. Guidance will be needed.Get some video on your phone of the kid swinging it, show them, so much easier to convey what you are trying to accomplish. Line Drive Nation website is a coach in Tenn (sharp guy) that does unlimited video swing analysis for $20/month, great tool also.Either way, if you're motivated, and the child will work a few hours at it, I suspect this training bat can help most anyone.Soon as T ball is over I'm introducing my 6 year old daughter to the insider bat. Very clever tool that allows the child to feel a good swing, something I spent several fruitless weeks trying to explain.

This may seem like a gimmicky purchase, but its not. There is a reason it has been around for over a decade with almost no changes and still ends as part of so many hitting coaches routines.The bat forces you to stay inside the ball and create a proper swing path. It should not be the only thing your kid swings as a practice routine. My son uses a mix of the thin training sticks with mini wiffle balls (over and underload sticks), camwood bat, insider bat, heavy balls, wiffle balls, tee work, pitching machine etc. Consistent reps with a variety of disciplines.

We have tried a bunch of different swing trainers before. We tried the swing rail, but was tedious to set up and frustrated the kids. This one seems silly, but really helps to keep hands inside the ball. We use it with wiffle or tennis balls off the Tee at home. using it to get to the contact point and stopping the swing, then using it to swing all the way through seemed to help avoid "casting" of the swing. It seems pricey for what it is (simple metal, nothing hi tech) but as a dad who spends way too much time and $ on baseball, it seems like a good investment.

My son plays 8u travel ball, he HATED this tool when we first started using it but how that he has gotten used to it it no longer bothers him. This tool does two really important things: 1- Teaches kids to swing inside out 2-Prevents them from rolling over into ground outs. I am willing to bet my son is the only kid on the team using this tool since he is the only one that can hit an outside pitch the other way into the outfield.

Grand son upset it and really helps him learn to stay inside the ball. Well worth getting it.

Great for training! Helps with form. Easy to use and durablez

Insider bat has help significantly with my sons swing and keeping his hands in and stop casting his hamds out. Great tool, as you can tell if the ball is hit incorrectly.
