Bat Jack: soft or hard?

[Jim]

Just an opinion ... but I personally wouldn't become dependent on such a gadget, but instead use it to learn how to properly grip the handle with the fingers. Once you 'feel' it, and learn the value of how the fingers control the barrel, then you can pretty much go without it.

How do you feel about Major League players using the Direct Protect?

I believe the intent is to help push the bat handle out towards the fingers … which I believe was part of the intent behind the turbo-slot glove.

Would you advise a Major League player not to use the Direct Protect "gadget" in games? Have you ever used a Bat Jack?

Now Jim, why would I recommend that a professional hitter stop using a Pro-Hitter like device?

Have had a pair of Turbo Slot gloves I keep with the rest of my gadgets. My issue with them , most kids don't use them correctly and never read the directions. They rest the bat in the pad, instead of pinching the finger and thumb. Also have used the pony tail holder attached to the first finger under the glove , to get the kid to feel where the bat should be in the fingers. Every gadget they can still cheat moving the fingers during the swing. You see this when they are up to bat and start moving the fingers. The Bat Jack keeps the grip correct thru the swing and you cannot cheat. This like any device just forces them to use the correct grip and when it becomes a habit, they won't need it. I have 6 of them and about 1/2 the team wants them on the bat when they are in a game. Kids are kind of funny about what makes them feel good. Like what bat they like , just boils down to what makes them feel good, it could be nothing more than the color.

Jim when will the new green and black come out? I will have to buy one so CB doesn't shot me.

It is funny how the color of a bat or batting glove makes the girls feel confident

The lime green and black Crystl Bustos Edition Bat Jacks will be available November of this year.

Thanks and Good Luck the rest of the season!
