i will (over) pay for one, and pay for overnight shipping haha
The Bat Jack is a great hitting aid if you are trying to flip the bat after your arms are extended (which is what Bustos teaches). If you want to hit at a high level (like Bustos actually did in games), this is not what you are trying to accomplish.
You want a death grip with the top hand, and a 90 deg forearm to bat angle, with no slack whatsoever in the wrist.

It looks like the grip of a small kids fishing rod.
I'm not parting with the one I have but I don't see why you can't mold your own with something like Polly Plastics. You heat this stuff up and shape it however you like. If you want to put it on a training bat even better because when it's really hot it gets sticky. I just ordered some Kydex to try for this reason.
Also, I recall that the guy who made the Bat Jack used to participate here, that's how I heard of it.
Sorry, I searched for Bat Jack and didn't see this was 2021.
