 Good training deviceJun 04, 2009
By Robert A. Hoffman
Overall a good training device. I've used the baseball and now the softball version, and both have been good for my hitting practice.
My only complaint on the softball one is that after about 1000 hits or so, the ball is now slightly mis-shaped. Still quite usable though, and I plan to keep using it all season.
It is also useful to break in a new bat.
Since I have a basketball hoop, it was no problem attaching and using this. Set-up takes about 30 seconds each time I use it.
All in all a good product!

Better for me than using a teeAug 03, 2010
By QueenOBeans
Most of the trees I've seen won't work with this thing, so figure out where you'll be attaching it before you get your hopes up. The only trees I have that are small enough to wrap the bands around are not sturdy enough to handle the strain. If you live in a forest of widely spaced, very thin trees, with no leaves from ground level to about 8 feet up, then you're good. Otherwise, find a clothesline, basketball goal or flag pole.
Once set up, it's a pretty good way to practice your swing. The bands sometimes slip or move around a little, but overall it works. Not having to retrieve balls is nice, and it's good to practice getting right back into your stance so it becomes instinctive. I outlined a batters box and plate under the pole so I have the whole visual reference for batting.

Helpful trainer for newbiesMay 04, 2010
By A. Proshin
Hit-a-way softball trainer is extremely useful for beginners. Instead of developing your swing with the several guys in the field catching the balls and one pitcher, you can use this device alone to improve batting skills, mechanics and the ball-sense. It's very efficient.
I still don't know how durable it is. After 3 sessions for 1 hour exercising the ball looks alright.

 Great for hitting practiceNov 28, 2007
By S. Lathrop
This is actually my second one. The first one got so much use over the course of 18 months by my daughters, the ball became oblong. They will hit the ball practicing their swing every day. Love it...

Hit-A-WayOct 18, 2007
By Ronald J. Fedorchak
"The Commish"
This is the best tool out there to teach a child to hit. My daughters love to use it. From 6 years old, each of my three daughters have used this tool. They don't have to chase balls or set balls on a tee. They can each do it for 20 minutes without the ball stopping. Very nice.
