| Sept. 22, 2010 surf88 Men's 65 1000 posts | Batting Tee I have been using a PVC batting tee from plans I got from "Classic Spring Training". The problem is here in Colorado, the PVC breaks because of colder temperatures. Does anyone have suggestions for tee's I might look at? I'd like to get one soon as I want to get hitting in for Phoenix. Thanks, Ed Andrews Colorado |

| Sept. 22, 2010 BruceinGa Men's 70 3233 posts | I also used a traffic cone before I got this one. Cones are just hard to carry. I found it here: http://store.sportsterminal.com/store/item.aspx?ItemId=477&DepartmentId=68& http://store.sportsterminal.com/images/prodFrame_enlarge.gif |

| Sept. 22, 2010 surf88 Men's 65 1000 posts | Mad Dog, Is the Schutt Travel Tee strong enough to take some abuse? Obviously guys hit it in the beginning, at least they do when they swing on my PVC homemade one. |
| Sept. 22, 2010 Lefty Men's 75 721 posts | surf88 I've got a Schutt Travel Tee and I like it. I ordered 2 extra cones and the only regret is I should have baught the small one. That's just me. |
| Sept. 22, 2010 TexasTransplant Men's 70 516 posts | I've been using a Franklin tee I bought at Wal Mart for $15 for several years. Wrap the top with duct tape to keep from tearing it up. Only problem is you have to put it on something to simulate a high pitch. I just set it on top of the bucket I carry my practice balls in. |
| Sept. 22, 2010 mad dog Men's 65 4191 posts | surf yes it does,the top is a real flexible rubber.i have never replaced the ball cup,i use the baseball one.the shaft is metal and just extends up to the height you want,if ya really wanted to,you could put it in a ball bag to carry.my only complaint is maybe the base could have just a little more weight to it. TT the schutt will get up to 56" hi and it doesn't tear up like the cheap ones. |
