Just because you posted the link, and I know you have nothing to do with the tee...but do you (or anyone else) understand how a ball slowly swinging on a string, how, "This is replicating the timing of 90+ mph"? Cuz I sure as heck don't get it.

So if I swing twice as fast as it is in the clip (which wouldn't be that much faster, and what we used to do as kids messing around with a Wiffle ball tied to a tree limb in the park), would that be "....replicating the timing of 180+ mph"? I'm so confused.

I have one. The science was explained to me and while I cannot prove it is correct (way over my pay grade) the owner of the tee provided documentation. All I know is that when the ball reaches it apex (swinging away from you) is when you should launch your swing and be able to hit the ball once it reaches 0 degrees. It adds a timing element that a stationary tee cannot give you.

It's pendulum, the time it takes for the ball to go from its apex (point farthest away from the hitter) to 0 degrees can be easily calculated using high school physics, for a known length of pendulum, which can then be related to the reaction time for a ball being thrown from a certain distance. Is it better than a standard tee, sure, but you still need somebody (I think..) to start the movement of the ball in which case you could just instead have that same person throw you front toss instead. Granted you probably would have to throw front toss from a close distance to simulate a 90 mph reaction time but I think the fact that in front toss you are tracking the ball in a way which is closer to a game situation would probably outweigh the fact that you cannot simulate the same speed (unless you are really close).
