We spent about 5-10 minutes with it today...it just came in the mail...

I only took 1 vid of her...I'm not looking for critique of the swing here...just showing you what it does...

My Review:

The rail attachment itself is a bit of a a pain to connect to DD2's DeMarini CF8...you really have to pull tight on the strap to keep the rail from spinning...afterwards I connected it to an Easton FS2 with no problem. If you have an old bat that is used primarily for BP, maybe us some double sided tape and semi-permanently attach the rail. I will probably end up semi-permanently attaching it to the bat in the clip...a 2012 Easton Synergy Speed...

As for the arm strap...stretch the elastic out as described in the instructional video. In the clip, we DID NOT do this and the elastic just doesn't move with the swing...this can create a problem for allowing the player to whip into release.

This is similar in purpose to ISO Baseball's arm trainer Baseball Arm Trainer

I'll post more as we use it more. I'd like to get some Zepp readings with and without it but we've been buried with games...CP

If I was you, I would be looking for feedback of the swing. It would lead to a better swing over the device.

You're not me...you wanna make a comment like that then post your kid's swing.

The device is pretty restrictive...that swing is not indicative of her game swing...she's hitting .486, .636 slugging with 1.136 OPS through 28 outdoor games playing 12U Gold ball. I could post the 14U and 16U stats she's put up too...

It's an equipment review...did you not READ "just showing you what it does..." or are you just functionally illiterate?
