THE SKINNY BAT

 

THE SKINNY BAT
Become A Better Hitter With ...

Focus
Develops the need to concentrate on the mechanics of hitting and improve hand-eye coordination. The barrel of the bat is only 1 1/4 inches in diameter. Therefore the "sweet spot" is very small. In addition, you only hit golf ball size wiffle balls. This leaves no margin for error to make solid contact and instills 100% focus and concentration.

Quickness
Improves quickness by training the hitting muscles with a lighter bat. By training with a bat that allows the hitter to be quicker, will over time make the swing with a real bat quicker. By swinging the lighter bat, you increase your bat speed and have increased confidence in your bat control. With specifics drills, you can isolate different parts of the swing to increase the quickness of your hands.

Muscle Memory
Repeating a common movement that does not cause strain or develop bad habits. Opposite of using a "heavy bat", which causes you to weaken mechanics and over-compensate and actually slow down your swing, The Skinny Bat instills the memory in your muscles to swing with the proper mechanics. Because the bat is light; you are able to do more reps more often. That translates to more swings and increased muscle memory of the correct movements.

Feel
Get the same feel as a regular baseball bat handle. The Skinny Bat is made of Ash wood and has a Pro-Taper handle with a regulation knob. This allows your hands to feel exactly as they do on a regulation bat so when you transition from The Skinny Bat to your game bat your sense of feel is enlightened.

Drills
The ability to practice virtually anywhere. You do the same drills with The Skinny Bat as you do with your game bat: Soft-Toss, Tee, even live hitting, only you use golf ball size wiffle balls.
