User questions & answers

Question:	Are the stripes blue or teal
Answer:	Stripes are blue.
Question:	Are the stripes blue or teal
Answer:	Blue, then there is several grey stripes.
Question:	What is the difference between usa and asa certification? just bought a bat that has usssa, nsa, and isa cert and was told it had to be usa
Answer:	The difference is what each league requires. Please discuss with your coach what that is. Or you can research what your league requires.
Question:	What size would I get my 8 year old who is all of 50 inches and 50 pounds
Answer:	You must measure her standing from her wrist to the floor. This is how long a bat should be. However the weight is different as she must be able to hold the bat from two angles without dropping it. 1. In front of her and 2. Out the the side. If she can not hold the weight of the bat (with batting dominant hand only) the bat is too heavy and you must lower the weight because she will have a slow swing. That being said, usually an 8yr old is between a 26-28 lenght and 11-17 sometimes 18 weight

Ray DeMarini (1946-2001). Meet the man behind the brand.

Ray DeMarini was one-of-a-kind. At the age of 40, playing on his company softball team quickly turned into a full-blown obsession with the sport. His scientific approach to training, a 96 mph batting speed and a bombastic attitude quickly earned him the reputation of a savage competitor among the biggest guys in his league. Ray turned his attention to creating an earth-shattering high-performance bat. “The top bat manufacturers weren’t innovating. I realized there was a great opportunity to create a technical bat for the sophisticated ball player.” Ray was the personification of insane dedication. Even after being diagnosed with a rare form of cancer in 1998, Ray kept working. When the cancer eventually claimed his eye, he was still out at the field—hitting in an eyepatch. Ray’s intensity and drive remains at the core of the company today.

User questions & answers

Question:	How does this compare to the swingaway mvp
Answer:	No clue, my team has only used this product. The swingaway mvp looks like it would take longer to set up and also looks like more problems could occur with it.
Question:	Can I use this for a high school softball team
Answer:	Yes just buy the softball version and you are good to go. I use this with my 8u team and they love it.
Question:	Would this hold up to a 13 year old boy? Not a power hitter by any means but it looks like most of the reviews are from parents with younger kids
Answer:	You bet. One season with both high school varsity softball and baseball teams hitting this trainer, and it's still going. Colder than average spring had us inside two or more days every week plus Sunday batting cage sessions. If you're outside with it, it can be staked down. Inside had us putting two boxes of the office's copy paper in it to hold it down. It'll require a hand tightening at the beginning of every session (no time or effort really required with the nylon hand grip bolt heads) and it's good for your son and 8 of his buddies.
Question:	Is it box contents ready to play after assembly and bat? Or do additional items to use sold seperatley
Answer:	It is ready after assembly. If you do not have a decent wooden bat, you need one. The trainer will eventually ruin a metal bat. This trainer is GREAT. My son uses it all the time.

Ray DeMarini (1946-2001). Meet the man behind the brand.

Ray DeMarini was one-of-a-kind. At the age of 40, playing on his company softball team quickly turned into a full-blown obsession with the sport. His scientific approach to training, a 96 mph batting speed and a bombastic attitude quickly earned him the reputation of a savage competitor among the biggest guys in his league. Ray turned his attention to creating an earth-shattering high-performance bat. “The top bat manufacturers weren’t innovating. I realized there was a great opportunity to create a technical bat for the sophisticated ball player.” Ray was the personification of insane dedication. Even after being diagnosed with a rare form of cancer in 1998, Ray kept working. When the cancer eventually claimed his eye, he was still out at the field—hitting in an eyepatch. Ray’s intensity and drive remains at the core of the company today.
