Abstract
A training aid to teach batters a better swing, particularly the proper hand path of such a swing. The training aid has a head portion with at least one planar or flat surface to strike a practice ball, a neck portion having a first shorter run and a second longer run, the first and second runs being at an angle to one another, and a handle portion. The shorter run of the neck portion is connected to the handle portion while the longer run of the neck portion is connected to the head portion.
Claims17
A training aid for teaching batters how to swing properly comprising:
- a head portion, said head portion having a front striking surface said striking surface being planar such that a plane passing through said surface contacts substantially all elements of said surface, and a back surface;
- a neck portion, said neck portion having a longer run and a shorter run, said longer run being at an angle of at least 5° to said shorter run, said head portion being connected to said longer run, an axis passing through said head portion being substantially coaxial with said longer run of said neck portion;
- and
- a handle portion, said handle portion being connected to said shorter run, said front striking surface facing toward said handle portion, said handle portion being substantially coaxial with said shorter run of said neck portion.
A training aid for teaching batters how to swing properly comprising:
- a head portion, said head portion having a front striking surface and a back surface, said striking surface being substantially solid;
- a neck portion, said neck portion having a longer run and a shorter run, said longer run being at an angle of at least 5° to said shorter run, said head portion being connected to said longer run, an axis passing through said head portion being substantially coaxial with said longer run of said neck portion;
- and
- a handle portion, said handle portion being connected to said shorter run, said handle portion and said shorter run being substantially coaxial.
A training aid for teaching batters how to swing properly comprising:
- a head portion, said head portion having at least one planar, front striking surface having an outer periphery and a back surface, the outer periphery of said striking surface being coplanar with the rest of said striking surface;
- a neck portion, said neck portion having a longer run and a shorter run, said longer run being at an angle of at least 5° to said shorter run, an axis passing through said head portion being substantially coaxial with said longer run of said neck portion;
- and
- a handle portion, said handle portion being connected to said shorter run, said handle portion and said shorter run being substantially coaxial.
