I believe the poster wanted the noodle to 'pop out' so the hitter could take full swings with out so much/too much restriction.
Nah. Just loosen it up and slip it on/off your arms.
OOOOhh, thought they were stating that as a problem. That's different then, nevermind.
From a prior question we make them adjustable for each kid based on what we call the box between the arms. Easy to do with many of the ones posted above. Have one piece of the PVC able to slide into the other one. Drills holes that you can use slip pins to adjust the length. Each kid is different. Cheap to make,. everything you need is at your local hardware store.
knight,
when teaching with this device what r the techniques to emphasize? What should I b careful with? Over use? What do u recommend to keep me out of trouble.
sb family,
Love your idea of sliding two pieces of pvc in each other for adjustment! What kind of pins?
thanks!
No need for straps
I'm a fan of connectors. (We own the "perfect conextion") However, I don't like how it inhibits a full swing.
I bought a "reverse connector" (my terminology)
Its an elastic band connected to two straps around the batters bicep area. It forces you to stay spread and compact to contact without the mechanical bar holding you back while getting through the ball. It works by applying muscle memory into the equation. The elastic is trying to pull your arms together but you have to keep them spread with muscle. After a few dozen swings, its like magic. The arms automatically spread without even trying.
I found it on a site called baseball rebellion. The product is called the bat drag buster. I paid $30 for it but had I known how simple it was, I could have been made for under $10
It is IMO one of the best tools ever made for teaching a correct swing. We even use it in live BP with no issues at all.
