G Tee 3N1 Classic Batting Tee
The G Tee 3N1 Classic Batting Tee fits three cupped upper sections to a single telescoping upright on the 12 in x 12 in (30cm x 30cm) Classic base. Three balls sit at three points at once from one post, so a hitter gets consecutive looks at different baseball or softball locations without moving the tee and without the footprint of a three upright base.
The Middle Answer Between One Tee and Three
A single tee trains one location and has to be reset. A triple tee trains three but needs a base almost two feet long. The 3N1 sits between them: three cups stacked on one upright, so you get sequence work out of a tee that still packs down to roughly the size of a single setup and still sits on a 12 in square base. For a hitter with limited cage space or a coach who moves between lesson sites, that is often the deciding factor.
Joe Shovald, hitting coordinator at RHINO Baseball Wisconsin, describes integrating multiple variations of tee work in one session, which is the use this configuration is built for. Rob Crews of Complete Game names portability and low ball training among his reasons for the tee, and Allan Dykstra, a former MLB player, singles out the attachments for practising pitches actually thrown in games.
One Upright, Three Cups
The single telescoping upright comes in the range you select: 18 in to 30 in (46cm to 76cm), 22 in to 41 in (56cm to 104cm), or 26 in to 53 in (66cm to 135cm). Seals and bushings hold the set height through a round. The three upper sections mount to that upright, each carrying its own flexible rubber cup, so raising or lowering the upright moves all three positions together while their relationship to each other stays fixed.
If you already own a G Tee, the upper sections are sold on their own as the G Tee 3N1 Attachment, which is usually cheaper than buying a second complete tee.
The Classic Base Underneath
The base is the same 12 in x 12 in (30cm x 30cm) high-density polyethylene platform used on the standard Classic tee, and it accepts the same optional 10 lb weight plate. Because all three cups load one upright rather than spreading along a long base, the compact footprint still works.
For this arrangement on a stainless steel base in three sizes, see the G Tee 3N1 Pro Batting Tee. For three fully separate uprights spread across a long base, see the G Tee 3 Classic Batting Tee.
Build and Repair
Machined stainless steel and aluminum on a patented design, made in Ocala, Florida since 2009, with cups, upper sections, uprights and bases all stocked as separate parts. A two year warranty covers parts and labor.
Who This G Tee 3N1 Classic Batting Tee Is For
Hitters who want multi location work without owning a second tee or a long base. Instructors moving between sites who still want sequence drills. Travel and high school baseball and softball players training at home in limited space. Coaches who already own a G Tee should price the attachment on its own before buying a complete tee.
Training Applications
- Three height looks in consecutive swings from a single upright.
- Plane change drills where the hitter adjusts swing path pitch to pitch.
- Compact cage stations where a long triple base will not fit.
- Solo sessions with nobody available to reset the tee between swings.
- Low pitch training with low ball attachments on the upright.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is the 3N1 different from the G Tee 3?
The 3N1 stacks three cupped upper sections on one upright over a 12 in square base. The G Tee 3 puts three complete telescoping uprights on a 12 in x 23.5 in base. The G Tee 3 spreads locations further apart across the plate; the 3N1 packs down smaller.
Can I buy just the three cup sections for a tee I own?
Yes, as the G Tee 3N1 Attachment. It fits an existing G Tee upright.
Can the three cups be set at different heights independently?
They mount at fixed relative positions on the upright. Raising the upright moves all three together.
Does it take the weight plate?
Yes. It uses the same Classic base, which accepts the optional 10 lb plate.
Baseball or softball?
Both. The cups accept either ball and the upright covers both strike zones.
