Abstract
The batting aid is constructed with a shoulder piece for fitting against a shoulder and a jaw piece for fitting against a jaw of a batter. The jaw piece is resiliently connected to the shoulder piece to impede motion of the jaw piece towards the shoulder piece when in use. The batting aid serves to aid a batter in maintaining eye-to-ball contact during a swing.
