Once you master hitting there, watch your average rise. It's design came with input from a highly regarded softball instructor that we work with. He recognized that the lessons a baseball player took away from a wood baseball bat were equally applicable from a wood softball bat.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo that end, the Zone SB Trainer has a very long handle that flares up quickly to a barrel. The barrel is only about as long as the sweet spot. This improves hand-eye coordination and improved muscle memory. Regardless of whether you swing a metal softball bat or a wood softball bat, the key to driving the softball further is hitting it in the area on the softball bat that is approximately 2\" to approximately 6\" in from the end of the barrel. Master it and we guarantee your metal and wood bat play will improve. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"typicaluser active\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTypical user: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoftball hitter practices with wood for hand\/eye \u0026amp; strengthening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePractices using soft toss and tee work drills\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWants same length trainer as metal bat to master sweet spot hitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Phoenix Bats","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50732953698444,"sku":"SB Trainer","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0771\/5835\/0988\/files\/Zone_SB_Website__25733.1609857729.1280.1280.jpg?v=1781552713"},{"product_id":"fastpitch-shorty-live-bp-trainer","title":"Fastpitch Shorty Live BP Trainer","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"maindescription\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAbout the Fastpitch Shorty Live BP Trainer:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eThe popularity and endorsement of short-bat training is growing with more and more elite pro players using a short bat prior to their pre-game BP. This began to grow when former Yankee Alex Rodriguez and his hitting coach Kevin Long shared their short bat drill series done with a low tee. The goal was to get the hitter more comfortable being closer to contact. As a result, most coaches have adopted some version of short bat drill training to help master inside bat path, point of contact, staying on plane and bat speed development.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eWhat makes the the 23\" softball fast pitch shorty BP wood training bat unique versus many other training devices? USE DURING LIVE BP without sacrificing swing quality. So the hitter can work on many critical aspects to plate success: timing, bunting, being short to the ball, explosiveness, seeing the ball deep, two-strike hitting, engaging lower body, hand-eye coordination, keeping front shoulder in, avoiding dropping the back shoulder (aka dipping).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003ePhoenix Bats leveraged the 24 years of experience of pro hitting coach Aaron Hall of iCoachHitting.com in the design, development and testing of this very versatile wood training bat for live batting practice.  Over the years, Aaron has worked with thousands of players of every skill age. In doing so, he's run across virtually every mechanical, mental and visual problem AND bought\/used or created every gadget imagined.  Some are good and some are bad. Many only work on one skill at a time and are great for muscle-memory but could never can be used in a cage. Most don't replicate the feel of using a real game bat because of feel, weight, grip, or hitting surface. The Fastpitch Shorty BP wood training bat does! It's a premium wood bat that develops a mechanically sound, consistent and explosive swing by incorporating positive swing attributes into a player's live BP round.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"typicaluser active\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTypical user: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eFastpitch hitter wanting a short length, broad use trainer for live BP\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eAges 11+ to master plate discipline\/patience under game speed conditions\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003ePlayer seeks more explosive bat speed without giving up bat control\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Phoenix Bats","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50732956123276,"sku":"ShortyFP","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0771\/5835\/0988\/files\/Fastpitch_Shorty_Website__06043.1609857671.1280.1280.jpg?v=1781552714"},{"product_id":"two-hand-softball-speed-training-bat","title":"Two Hand Softball Speed Training Bat","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"maindescription\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAbout the Two Hand Speed Softball Training Bat:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Two Hand Speed Softball Training Bat is the perfect training tool to utilize during the off-season as well as in season to increase your strength, bat speed, and to help you stay honest by keeping inside the ball.
