The Swing Away allows hitters to position the ball anywhere inside the strike zone....inside, outside, from just 8" above the plate to the top of the strike zone. It is designed for efficient and quick training, indoors or outdoors, requiring approximately a 10' x 10' space. When you're worn out from hitting, simply convert the Swing Away into a rebounder to work on pitching, fielding, and throwing accuracy.
When hitting, the ball is never out of control. It strikes the net in a way that allows you to see the trajectory of each batted ball, which is then returned to its preset position within three seconds. A reinforced base and floor grips keep the Swing Away stable.
The baseball is attached to a patented bungee cord and weighted home plate system. The ball can be adjusted for height from 10 lateral positions. The water/sand filled home plate has holes in it so the ball can be moved around the strike zone.
The Swing Away frame is made of industrial grade 16-gauge steel tubing and folds in half for easy transportation. An optional Travel Bag makes transporting in just about any vehicle a cinch.
