ON-DECK HITTER
There are several products on the market that do essentially the same thing, they are called "On Deck" hitters. They are basically a ball on a rope, that is tied to a swivel and then secured to a pole or rod and that is mounted to the fence either by bolts (U-bolts to mount to the fence pole) or springs (to mount to the fence directly). The on deck (we use "in the hole hitter") batter goes behind the fence and takes swings at the "on deck"device before she goes to bat. It is a great warm-up tool and we take ours to every game we play. I like to have a coach out there with the batter to make sure she is using proper fundamentals and intensity!!
