SKLZ Zip-N-Hit Pro Control

Got this for my baseball team of 10 and 11 year olds and it work great. Two kids in particular were having a hard time hitting at the plate. Within a few days of prictacing with this they both hit the next game..

My son played his first year of baseball and was too old for tee ball. He was on a coach pitch team and was having some trouble hitting... we got this in the middle of the season because everything we were trying was not working. In his last 4 games he got a base hit almost every time he went up to bat...

This product is very helpful in teaching kids, and even adults, hand/eye coordination. Easy to setup and take down and saves time from recovering batted balls or passed pitches as the ball remains on the nylon cord even when hit. It's a little tough to keep the cord straight when pitching which produces breaking movement in the pitch, however my 4 yr old can still light it up. You can control the speed of the pitch which is convenient when pitching to kids or teens. So when you don't feel like driving to the batting cage, this is a nice alternative.

perfect for working on position stance. no more worry about loosing balls and replacing them.

THIS PRODUCT IS A GREAT LEARNING TOOL FOR KIDS TO KEEP THERE EYE ON THE BALL...ALSO GREAT FOR GROWN UPS WE BEAT THE THNG TO DEATH IT WILL NOT BREAK...

I bought this product for a 5 year old to help with his eye and hand coordination. The product worked as advertised but it was difficult for the 5 year old to hit the ball back and he was never ready when it returned to him. I believe this product would be great for older children.

We live in an area that does not allow us to hit live balls. This works great when we attach to the pole of our basketball hoop. One of the nice things is that it comes with a spare zip cord...since the friction of the ball will ultimately breakdown the zip cord. The ball seems to be very durable thus far. The zip cord seems to be decent. Unfortunately, the clip that attaches to our pole is made of plastic. It is also the part that takes the most beating from the ball. I actually took an auto wash sponge and some duck tape and created padding to protect the clip from the ball impact. After using twice, a couple plastic pieces on the handles seperated. It is still usable but proved it is of fairly inferior quality. Overall, it is a great idea and the ball seems to be able to take a beating. I wish they would have made the pressure points of the contraption out of more durable material. I expect it will last maybe 2 to 3 seasons. After the plastic pieces become useless, I plan to make my own more durable version and just reuse the ball.

Worth the money. Confidence builder for those that aren't good at batting. Good warm up for beginners.

This product is a great tool for baseball..Except the rope does burn out quick. There is a replacement rope that is included but after that one wears out there is no replacement rope you can buy, You have to buy a new full kit.

Hard to use if the person that's hitting doesn't hit the ball back. I'm thinking about running another string on the ball so that I could pull it back if my kid doesn't hit the ball back. But I think i'm just going to make my own baseball trainer. DIY on youtube.
