A New World Of Baseball Hitting Aids

A New World Of Baseball Hitting Aids

by Agnes Dickson

Good hitting requires not just an eye and reflexes but a disciplined swing. A good swing requires the number of repetitions that don't come when one has to constantly throw fresh baseballs to be sprayed a couple hundred feet in all directions across the park or backyard. <A href="http://www.fearthehitter.com">Baseball hitting aids</A> can cultivate any batter's natural and talent.

The simplest of these aids is the common batting tee. Essentially it does the same thing a golf tee does but comes with a stalk to hold the ball higher, usually adjustable and ranging between just below thirty inches to nearly four feet. This places the ball right within most young hitters' sweet spot, letting them repeat a well-balanced swing.

With a portable screen added to hitting practice, a batter can not only use the tee all afternoon but won't have to interrupt practice by spending time going out after the balls he or she has crushed. Many nets also have brightly colored targets that are stitched into the net to show the player where and how well they are nailing the ball. Screens and tees are useful for practicing both baseball and softball, and are typically built to stay put on windy days.

A swing tee lets one avoid the whole problem of netting the struck ball after it has been struck. With a swing arm tee the ball is firmly fixed to the arm that itself is designed to swing around while rooted to an axis. The ball just springs right back after being whipped around in a tight circle once the young hitter crushes it.

Many versions of the batting tee are good for sharpening a hitter's form using repetitions, but none of them simulate the reality of being thrown to by an actual pitcher. Unfortunately it is very difficult to get the repetitions one really needs when relying on others to pitch, especially repetitions in getting a feel for the strike zone and knowing just when to swing. This is where a pitching machine becomes useful.

One might reflexively assume a pitching machine might be expensive, enough so that one might not expect to see one except at a ballpark or a batting range. These days, however, pitching machines have been scaled down to where they are just right for boys and girls, and at that scale made to be as inexpensive as a better catcher's mitt, or even less expensive than that. Indeed these machines have become some of the most economical hitting aids one might find.

One might look to buying protection nets for the back yard, looking like rooms or hallways woven out of fishing nets, for practicing with a pitching machine or with a practice pitcher. Those who don't mind something more pricey can look to the packages of equipment, quite often sponsored by a big name star. With packages one does see more of a difference between baseball and its cousin, softball.

A lot of the kind of equipment that was once the domain of league ball teams is available now to the common suburban household. Its scale is smaller but it is still built tough enough to handle a pounding. This is a toolkit that makes young batters better all over the world.
