The media could not be loaded. This racket is great, my son is 9 and they started him in right field so I had to get him up to speed quickly. Once you get the hang of it, it's so much more accurate than a bat. I started hitting him waffle balls, then tennis balls, then baseballs. You can hit pop ups or grounders. Such a great investment and worth the price to me.

This is a great way for outfield practices without doing fungos from home plate.

It came quick! The bag is very cheaply made and flimsy, the racket is very heavy, I wouldn't be able to use it easily. The grip is not very comfortable. Sad to say but I have to return it. I wish it could have worked out for me.

Mediocre results with our much pace on balls Just went back to using bat.

I've been using it for a month now and it works great for little league. I see a bunch of commenters saying it doesn't work for distance fly balls but I don't think that is the intended use case. The only time I have ever seen people use this and the only way I use it is to hit fly balls to my outfielders as they stand in a line while the other team is taking infield. I'll stand on a foul line and hit them out to center field. If it is during practice I'll hit from just behind the pitchers mound and it has plenty of carry out to normal depth for 12U players. It takes a few tries to get the motion down but once you have it you can place balls wherever you want. Some people said it doesn't last long and I imagine they're leaving it outdoors. It utilizes shock cord to hold the matt to the frame. If you leave that out in the sun and heat it will deteriorate. I really like it. Only thing that isn't perfect is the grip is a bit "rough". Took one star off for that.

Like many coaches, I have many bad hits with my fungo. Too far, wrong way, wiffs. This really lets me put the ball where I want it for practice. I can even get spin on it to mimic everything they will see on the field. Pop ups are much better now for infield work because I can actually get the ball where I want it so the kids can move in the right way. I only wish I got it earlier. After I got it, a lot of other coaches in my league started turning up with them.

This is a must if you practice a lot with your kids. It is great practice tool!

Our son is a baseball coach. .this is great for practices.
