Interesting stool. Check out the video on how it works.

That actually looks pretty cool

Interesting...The guy demonstrating looked pretty light and could sit still. I see a lot of the opposite from coaches (myself included).
Also how many balls does it hold? (I ask rhetorically).

I guess it's better than the wearable one-legged milking stool...

I wonder if it will fall over easily.

Yeah the bucket does hold stuff. Although you can fold up the stool and easily fit in any bag.

Thousands of posts in the pitching forum - how has someone not posted this before?!

Necessity is truly the mother of invention. And as we all know, mother's often have no shame in regards to practicality.

I've never been to a dairy farm - the image of someone walking around with an, uh, extra appendage strapped to them is really making a Friday morning in the office much more bearable.

The pirate missing his leg is probably pissed...

Only problem with a bucket is that the target usually ends up too high. Always preferred milk crates. Next time you see someone sitting on a bucket note the position of the glove. And then people wonder why their kid throws it fat down the middle. And since most tee work is done on a middle - middle pitch it all comes together on game day.

I got one of these for Christmas and have been using it all year. It works great. It's short enough keep the glove in the right location and holds 2 gloves and a couple balls not problem. I love it. Also takes up a lot less room in the wagon than a bucket.

This is why I just suck it up and squat. You can't reasonably get low enough on a 6-gallon bucket. I have at times of hurt back or sore knees flipped a bucket on its side and caught on that, but only in desperate situations.
