Purpose of One Hand Drill?

Straightleg- What did you use for the knob on your bats?

And regarding the correct use of the PVC bat, When swung correctly, when does the shot slide to the end of the bat? Never or after contact?

Thanks, ww.

Knob of bat (easton bat choke) slides right over pvc. Used the bat tape wrap to catch the top of the choke

Straightleg,
I am sorry for the ignorance here but where is the shot? Is it inside the bat? I am going to make a few of these and want to make sure I do it right.
Thanks

Shot is inside the bat. You place 15" of dowell rod inside the pvc pipe at the handle area. Hold it in place with a small wood screw that the grip covers. The shot then slids from 15" to the end of the bat. Whatever you use on the end of the PVC make sure it is attached securely. It is not much fun picking up the shot off a gym floor. straightleg and I have made many of these along with our own whip hits over the years.

I think SB forgot to glue the end on one after shot was installed. OOOPS!!

Thanks guys!! Great tool!! I will get some made up today. 3/4" PVC?

I glued but didn't use the right glue. Also don't hit off those metal home made T's. The PVC will shatter and again you have a mess to pick up.

I know Howard and I have gotten a few PM's on this. Make sure it is 3 oz of # 9 bird shot. Plus use the gray PVC pipe like in the picture, it is stronger than the white. We also use tennis grip.

Would a training tool called The Clicker Bat serve the same purpose as the PVC bats being made? Apparently this tool has been around a while.
