The Hitting Knob Bat Weight

New for 2017! The Hitting Knob is a weighted device that attaches to the knob of the bat while training. It allows players of all levels to perform proper hitting mechanics while maximizing bat speed and power.

The Hitting Knob trains the batter to swing the knob of the bat not the barrel, keeping the hitters hands inside the baseball/softball. This allows the barrel of the bat to get on a parallel path and stay in the zone throughout the swing; creating a whip-like motion with the barrel.

Weighting the knob-end of the bat ultimately increases bat speed and power once the weight is removed.

Features:

• Develops proper swinging mechanics
• Quickly increases bat speed and power
• Trains the batter to swing the knob of the bat
• Keeps hands inside the ball
• Creates a whip-like motion in your swing
• Allows bat to quickly get and stay in the zone
• Keeps bat on a parallel swing path
• Promotes muscle memory
• Quick and easy on/off application
• Attaches to ALL aluminum bats (wood bat version is coming soon)
• Comes in various weights: 8 oz, 12 oz, 18 oz, and 26 oz.
• 1 Year Manufacturer’s Warranty

The Hitting Knob can be used in EVERY aspect of offensive training (i.e., on deck circle, tee work, soft toss and cage work); or, its most unique purpose, during live batting practice, which simulates the most authentic hitting experience.

General guidelines for Baseball:
9 – 12 years old / 28 – 31″ Bat Length: 8oz Hitting Knob
13 – 15 years old / 31 – 32″ Bat Length: 8oz or 12oz Hitting Knob
16 – 17 years old / 32 – 33″ Bat length: 18oz Hitting Knob
17 years old & up / 33 – 34″ Bat Length: 26oz Hitting Knob

General guidelines for Softball:
9 – 12 years old / 28 – 32″ Bat Length: 8oz Hitting Knob
13 – 16 years old / 32 – 33″ Bat Length: 8oz or 12oz Hitting Knob
17 years old & up / 33 – 34″ Bat Length:18oz Hitting Knob

Ideally, the batter starts with a weight that maintains the proper swing form, and moves to the higher weight as strength increases while maintaining swing control.
