My problem is that I have access to a pitching machine and I'd like to use it in my relatively small back yard without breaking windows or sending balls over the fence. I don't want to pay for / use up space with a batting cage net if I can help it.
I'm wondering if anyone knows of a bat that when used to hit a real softball or pitching machine ball, gives in a way that limits how far the ball travels. It would likely need a soft barrel (think dead blow hammer) and some type of spring dampening system that would let the barrel travel back on contact to take the distance out of the ball.
Probably a long shot, but if anyone knows you guys would.
Thanks!
