The SwingAway has always been one of the best hitter training aids around. The challenges have been availability and affordability. Now, we're happy to report, both have been resolved. The new Lite model makes it possible to have all the performance of this patented tethered-ball system for under $200. And the Elite will stand up to the rigors of constant use at a fraction of what it once cost for the original $500 pro models. I have been working with one of the new models and I like the stability of the lower boom, the easy ball-height adjustability, and the versatility of the hitting mat for working on inside and outside pitches. A WebBall top pick. - Richard Todd, Head Coach
Turn any 10x10 space into a complete hitter training station.
Indoors or out, the next generation SwingAway lets varsity and youth players experience the most popular pro hitting station ever made - for less. The patented bungee cord system and hitting mat allows you to position the ball anywhere inside the strike zone and get hit after hit. It resets in 3 seconds so you can take as many swings as your arms can handle.
The new SwingAway now features matching top and bottom booms which tether the ball over a new patented hitting mat. The double-boom system keeps the ball center-aligned increasing the life of the bungee system.
The SwingAway net and target zone will help you visualize the direction and trajectory of each hit ball. You can isolate training to work on quick hands, compact swing, and strong follow-through. Your torso can work to develop power with quick repetition of true baseball movement. And your legs and hips will develop the muscle feedback and confidence to take with you into the game. Plus with booms and tethers disconnected, the net works well as a rebounder for fielder training (
it can be tilted back or forward for pop ups and grounders).
The SwngAway Hitting Mat replicates the inner portion of the batter’s box with home plate. The roll-out mat is marked for both right- and left-hand hitters. Numbered baseballs show proper contact points and arrows help you line up the mat under the boom. You can work on pull hits, up-the-middle shots, and oppo swings for hit-and-run training. The SwingAway Mat is a also a great stand-alone tool to use during live batting practice, short toss, soft toss and tee drills.
Train year round. The frame folds in seconds for storability and portability. Net frame is 48" wide and approx. 60" high.
Two models in near identical sizes are offered, with different gauges of galvanized steel: heavier US steel on the Elite model, and lighter 18-gauge import steel on the less expensive home SwingAway. The weight difference is 38 lbs vs 33.
