Abstract:
The invention as describe herein details a swing training device for teaching a baseball or softball player the proper swing mechanics. The device consists of a handle, a sliding contact zone and a rod which is connected to the handle and forms the means for the sliding contact zone to move. The idea of this trainer is to swing the device such that the sliding contact zone moves from just above the hands at the start of the swing to the end of the bat (top stop) at approximately the same time that contact is made with the ball. This device is designed and meant to be used in real hitting situations such as batting practice, batting tee practice and all types of hitting drills where the ball is tossed or pitched.
