New Hitting Tee

[FiveFrameSwing]

The UtiliTee is available without all the attachments - brush ball-holder only.

The "Cast Away" attachment seemed to help hitters make contact towards the end of the barrel ...... I suppose folks would know enough to skip that 'feature' also.

Don't count on it.

The point is, after you avoid the potentially harmful 'features', then you are down to a basic tee ...... hence my earlier recommendation seconding the Tanner tee.

These are 2 tee's I made $30.00 in material. These are the best tee's I have used. The pole screws off and can easily go in her bat bad super light.

Hey I didn't want to go all "your tee sucks, my tee rocks" and if I came off that way I apologize.

I have wasted a lot of money on softball junk. I wish I had someone who would have told me what not to do. That way I could waste all the extra money on bats my daughters don't want to swing, lol.

Here is mine.Cost me $24.00 to make.I made DD a shorter one also so we could get her used to hitting the low inside/outside pitch.

Sweet! Looks really good.

You have set a good example to follow.

Consider this an invitation to share how you made these tees, along with the items you purchased.

Again ... nice job!

Likewise, I'm not saying the UtiliTee is the best tee EVARRRRR!!!!! For a people whose needs are served best by a lightweight folding tee, I have found it to be a very good choice - as long as you skip the accessory package. This has been my personal experience to this point. YMMV.

Make your own pro style batting tee! : baseball

What's up r/baseball I found a youtube video on how to make a Tanner Tee. Baseball Batting Tees - Softball Hitting Tee - TANNER BASEBALL PRODUCTS I actually got my tanner tee for free from a friend. I love this tee, hands down the best tee money can buy. But I noticed that the materials used to make this tee are available at your local Home Depot, So... I googled how to make your own Tanner tee and found this video. How to make a homemade Hitting/Batting Tee for Baseball - YouTube
