I saw this product online but never in person. I ended up purchasing a Softball Speed Hitting from Momentus Sports (Momentus Sports - Speed Hitter and Power Hitter Training Bats). I've seen many of these being used at tournaments for warm ups. Ended up purchasing this speed hitter since it was cheaper and can be swung in our basement or family room.

It has actually helped with casting and speed and can be used to get multiple swings quickly, indoors. I like the pro glider as the ball comes off. One of the keys to a high level swing is cap to pitcher. I think that would really help. Coach Lisle recommends it.
The momentus is what my girls hitting coach recommends and his kid uses. Of course his 10K lessons, college coaching, high school coaching and is a full time professional hitting and pitching coach doesnt know what he is talking about though.

I saw that Coach Lisle recommends the pro glider and still might purchase this product in the future. What lead me to purchase the speed hitter was the fact that it can be used in my house. This enables my DD's to use this product 3-4 times a week.

What product were you referring to? The link takes me to a page where it shows all products in the "Practice/Training" category. Thanks.
My granddaughter has one that is a toy. I find it useful.
I do the same drills, though, with my students - using tennis balls and a dog Chucker.

I LOVE the ProGlider. Best tool out there for hitting. Having said that, I don't get a dime for promoting it or anything. If I had the ability to buy the owner out, I would.
It teaches so many things that it probably wasn't intended to do.
1) Working slow to fast. If you swing too fast too early balls shoots to 1B foul ball side
2) Helps you maintain the front elbow L. If you lose the L and arm bar..ball shoots to 1B
3) Works on shoulder tilt with flight of ball
4) So many other things.
The flight of the ball tells you everything thats going on with your hand path.
I hate that I didn't invent it or profit from it. haha.

How many swings a day do you recommend? I prefer live pitching of course but we can use this where she weight trains, but no front toss.
