Tanner tees - looking for feedback

[coachbubbles]

Looking to invest some of my stimulus...looking at Tanner Heavy. My question for those of you that have them is...which one? Youth or Adult? Seems like the Adult doesn’t go low enough (26-43”) and the youth (20-32”) doesn’t go high enough. DD is 5-6” FWIW. Any thoughts appreciated.

5'6"? Go with the Adult (Actually called Standard). The youth version is called the "Short". I have a Tanner Tee Original, Standard size 26-32" and it has worked well with my DD's 12u team.

Excellent, thank you. Seems like the lowest setting is above her knee level and we do try to work down and out of the zone (2strike counts).

Get Both!

I usually resolve my internal conflict the most expensive way possible.

ETA: To make any Tanner taller you can go to any plumbing section and buy a piece of pipe called a threaded stem (I think) and a threaded connector. Think its 1" steel pipe. The stems come in a variety of lengths.

I knew I had read this before and I had to dig for it, but I wanted to make sure I gave credit. You can buy the short tee and use a short piece of water pipe and a coupling to extend it up. You can save money with only 1 tee that way.

Folding Tee Recommendations

Just realized I missed Drakemir's post. FP26 the Tanner base does ok in the net bag? If I go with a Tanner, is it better to get one of the short models and use a bucket for hi-tee work? The post of the Tanner is 1" standard pipe size and threads. I bought the shorter tee, and a 1" x 10"...

Thank you. My keyword search didn’t show this thread for some reason. Exactly what I needed. I think this option would be the best. Although as WW suggests to buy both - according to DW that’s the one thing I am good at - justifying softball purchases!!

Yes!! I'm with you. But not my DW, no no no.

Much much easier when I go to the hardware store to buy something like weed eater string etc to grab a pipe and coupler and slip it under her nose. I have alot of homemade softball stuff that was only marginally cheaper that I would have paid for it but chose that route to avoid the h3ll I would have caught from DW. Getting wiser....Ha!

Go for both tall and short. You can always use an extra tee. You can do inside outside drill....invite friends...find one when the DD doesn't put one back where it belongs. The possibilities are endless.

This will solve your dilemma! They're 10% off right now which puts it at $126.00.

Tanners are excellent tees, industry standard, we used these Jugs tees our last two years of travel ball, they're just as good in my opinion!
