Batter Ox

Friend is sending me one soon to try it out and give feedback.

After checking out their training videos, I am pretty sure I will like it and use it. I like it because the holder (pronounced hoder in the training videos) can simulate outside and inside pitches and hitter can see ball trajectory. Probably better than just hitting off the tee into a bownet.

Anybody ever used this Versatile Hitting System?

I find their marketing (training)videos a little weak. The softball videos are better than the baseball ones. They feature Stacy May-Johnson and the inventor David Riggle. First of all, it is not a "system". It is a glorified hit stick. And I am not a "hoder", I am a coach. I know I might sound a bit critical of the product presentation but sometimes the inventor of a product should take a backseat in the marketing IMO.

I'm confused. How is this easier than simply moving a tanner tee to the same various locations?

I don't see myself recommending the Batter Ox.

You don't have to fetch the ball. And if you are hitting into a bownet I think the batter ox might allow hitter and "hoder" to see a little more of the ball's trajectory.

ALSO:

What did you think about the diagonal tape to help hitter understand contact location on various pitch locations?
