What Softball Hitting Training Devices Do You Use?
There is lots of training aids and devices for softball hitting on the market. Radar, Straps, belts, batting tees, training balls, specialized bats and many others. Some really work and some are simply gimmicks.

So what kinds of training aids have you tried or used?

Does it help your swing? How?

Which training devices or swing aids do you recommend?

I have been using the Zepp Baseball-Softball 2 3D Swing Analyzer.

There is a 3D swing analysis that measure all aspects of your swing; bat speed, hand speed, time-to-impact, Attack angle and more.

Instant evaluations help you see where you can improve the most and focus your training.

Smart coach offers personalized training programs, based on your data, from Pro players and coaches to make you a better player faster.

Replay and review your swing in 360 degree from any angle.

Record your swing in HD video and compare directly to the pros

ZEPP teamed up with New Balance and started a HIT CLUB last week.

I use a Wheeler Dealer every day, weather permitting, Helps with my mechanics and my concentration on watching the ball hit the bat. (The Ted Williams theory) Also helps with my conditioning. Off season hit 6 rounds of 33 and during the season 4 rounds of 33 with 2 rounds of pitching to a mat.

With a small adjustment I get 6-7' height with 52 ball and maybe around 5 with 44's.

A little expensive but cheaper than batting cages. When I need work on my timing I go to the batting cages.

Batting T; thunderstick with wiffle balls; rubber band for arm and hip exercises; wrist snaps; wrist curls. Long toss the batted balls (two throws for each ball) towards the plate. Have a beer once home.
