Own a few. Don't use them. Primarily out of convenience. Instead I have hitters choke up on their regular bat when performing one-arm swings.

I purchased a small aluminum bat at trade day for $ 1.00 it serves the purpose for me.

I do use them a lot for my DD. But make them myself out of pieces of wood. I am a former baseball coach and mlb scout, I believe these drills help a great deal.

I liked the 'look' of this 'one hand drill':

I'm a fan of these types of front swing drills where back arm is used to provide some loading resistance but not used in the swing. For me, it is the best drill for developing solid, center contact.

I know Harp(that's what he says to call him:rolleyes:) is holding onto the bat with 2 hands but swings with 1 hand.
In this drill he begins with the top hand on the handle. The top hand is soon removed from the handle and the swing is primarily performed as a lead-arm swing.

So, getting back to your comment:
that is not a one hand drill
I would 'classify' this as a one hand/arm drill.
