Rope Bat reviews. Yay or Nay?

[crystal]

Who has used this and is it worth the money? Would love the feedback. My daughter has zero hip in her swing. She's all upper body and doesn't finish through contact.

Rope bat

Anyone ever used the rope bat? If so, how did you like it or how did the girls like it? Was it a good hitting tool to invest in? Thanks

I dont see any before/after pics on their website, so they are not showing us any improvements at all.

Many of the demo swings have bat drag.

Most youth kids have bat drag, so if it's not fixing that, why bother?

Here is a free drill to greatly improve your swing. Stride to toe touch, and pull the back elbow like a bow. At toe touch, make sure the rear forearm is flat. the bat head is pointed up, and your front knee is very bent. Guaranteed or your money back.

So nay…?

Yeah, I didn’t want anyone to think I’m endorsing them, I just remembered there was a recent post on them.

If I was wanting more rotation (hips) I would probably work on pulling balls with a regular bat, heavy bats and use a $4 piece of PVC to do the myriad of pvc bat drills.

There is another good thread on this topic if you use the search. I use:

That almost looks like a Pokémon ball - maybe I can trick my son into trying baseball again!

made one for my DD years ago. Works very well to teach staying inside the ball. Wear helmet when using.

If you believe there is only 1 path to the ball these gizmos will work for you. Otherwise they will only confuse the learner.

If the sternum is the plane.. pay attention from where to where the hands make their path to create the intended bat path.. in relation to the ‘plane’.
