One of the biggest issues young hitters have is starting in the right position. This makes them do it unlike drills that allow them to keep doing it wrong.
It is a great way for players to learn how to get the bat in the zone deep.
Just got it out of the box. And super excited to try it out at practice this weekend.
I understand the concept but remember every kid is different so it may not work for everyone
My son enjoyed using this as a bat path trainer. We used it both off the tee and in the cages. The attachment was a bit challenging sometimes to connect to the helmet (and my son did comment that he could feel the extra weight of it) but overall those were minor things given the help of the trainer
Used this to help keep from having my son dropping his bat and swinging up.
This definitely helped him realize he was dropping his barrel. I just wish the foam wedge was a permanent part of the product because it kept falling out. We are super gluing it to ours.
My son is 8 and this has helped him learn the correct way to hit. Great product!
PW7-Purchased 2 BatTracs for my team. They straightened out the swing path for even my lower-talent players. I will continue to integrate this into every batting practice. ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ all day. Especially for new coaches!!!
Bat Trac helps with one of the biggest mechanical flaws in the swing. It prevents the barrel from dropping behind the hitter. When the barrel goes toward the hitters back, this causes a severe swing lag, decreased bat speed and inconsistent barrel path. The idea behind this is genius. The Bat Trac helps keep the hands high and allows the barrel to work above the shoulders and get on the pitch plane early and efficiently.
We bought a Bat-Trac to try on our small time U9 team that plays once a week. All the coaches are parent volunteers. We had a player that was frequently striking out. We put him in the cage but he wasn't connecting with the ball. We put the Bat-Trac on him and had him hitting into a fence with a tee. He did about 30 practice hits with the Bat-Trac on the tee and we put him back into the cage with the Bat-Trac still on. To all of the coaches' and his parent's amazement, he hit half the bucket of balls we fed into the machine and his swings looked so good. On his next game he went from his usual 3 Ks to 3 base hits and he even scored 2 runs. We've become huge fans of the Bat-Trac, and we are trying to raise the funds to buy more Bat-Tracs for our team, so more kids can practice with it instead of one at a time!
On the 1st week of trying this with my son and he was a bit resistant but he is already starting to see the benefits and the quickness he is getting from where he is starting with the bat.
Was easier for my 10U player to grasp than my 7U, but both are really liking it and I’m seeing good results.
Was skeptical at first, but this thing really works. Immediate results for my 10U player.
I coach my 8u son and seen a improvement on his swing, also used it on some 9u and 10u kids I recommend the bat trac
This is a great concept for teaching quick bat path, but it is a little hard to set up, especially if you have more than 1 kid. Even if you have just one kid, it's also hard to get just the right angle, height, etc to make it useful. I think they are onto something with this, especially for very green players, though.
Great hitting tool, allows kids to understand hand placement in launch position. Then not disconnecting from launch to contact! The track gives feedback if the player casts or drops the hands.
the Bat Trac hardware is high quality and a clever design. It is a great training tool for improving hand position during the swing initiation.
Got this for my 9 year old son. He had a bad habit of dropping his hands. After using this I can see a difference in his swing! Definitely recommend it!!
As much as my son has not enjoyed the immediate feedback he gets when he tries to drop his hands or cast them, this device has been great to let him know immediately what he is doing wrong and gives him a quick way to find out when he is swinging correctly.
