Hitting Jack-It Fastpitch Softball Bat Weight System

Build power and bat speed with the Hitting Jack-It Fastpitch Softball Bat Weight System, the only weight in the game you can hit during live batting practice! This is a complete hitting system that provides real results. The Hitting Jack-It System quickly builds bat speed and power, and forces the batter’s hands to work properly.

Regular batting donut weights focus all the bat weight on the barrel, which can lead to casting and poor swing mechanics. The Hitting Jack-It System solves this problem; its design keeps hands from casting while building power, bat speed, and using proper form.

Features:

• Can be used in live batting practice
• 5oz., 9oz., & 12oz. weights
• Works with all softball bats
• Great for players of all levels (age 8 and up)
• Helps build power and bat speed
• Far superior to regular batting donuts that can cause casting
• Strengthens hands and forearms
• Use with live hitting, tee work, or as an on-deck weight

The Hitting Jack-It is a complete hitting training system. The weights come in three sizes to promote progressive training. The 5oz. weight develops bat speed. The 9oz. weight strengthens hands and forearms, and improves muscle memory. The 12oz. weight develops power.

Using the Hitting Jack-It

During live batting practice, take as many swings as you desire with the added swing weight. Then remove the Hitting Jack-It to feel the added performance and increased bat speed.

Securing and removing the Hitting Jack-It

Slide the Hitting Jack-It onto the handle of the bat with the “wide end” facing up toward the barrel of the bat. Slide the Hitting Jack-It up the bat until snug. Turn the bat over and tap the bat on the ground firmly securing the Hitting Jack-It in place. For overall safety the open slot of the Hitting Jack-It should always face the catcher and the closed side with the logo should always face the pitcher.

Removing the Hitting Jack-It is as easy as tapping the handle of the bat on the ground to free it from its firm grip.
