{"product_id":"g-tee-lite-batting-tee","title":"G Tee Lite Batting Tee","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe G Tee Lite Batting Tee is the travel model in the line: a 5 lb baseball and softball tee on a 9 in x 9 in (23cm x 23cm) high-density polyethylene base, carrying the same telescoping upright and rubber cup as the heavier G Tees. It is built for the player who takes a tee to the field, the cage and the road, and for coaches who need several tees moved by one person.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFive Pounds Is the Whole Argument\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeight is the reason this model exists. At 5 lb complete, the Lite goes into a bat bag, one person carries three of them, and setting up does not involve dragging a weighted base out of a trunk. Kelsey Stewart of Team USA has described breaking a G Tee down into her bat bag while travelling, and Megan Willis of the USSSA Florida Pride makes the same point about a tee that has to move constantly. Crystl Bustos, who runs camps and clinics, cites the same thing: it travels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe trade is stability under heavy contact. The Lite base takes no weight post, so a hitter who drives the inside corner hard or trains on slick indoor surfaces is better served by the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/g-tee-classic-batting-tee\"\u003eG Tee Classic Batting Tee\u003c\/a\u003e and its optional 10 lb plate, or by the stainless steel base on the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/g-tee-pro-batting-tee\"\u003eG Tee Pro Batting Tee\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNothing Given Up on Adjustment\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLosing weight did not cost the height range. The Lite runs the same telescoping upright as every other G Tee, in the same three sizes: 18 in to 30 in (46cm to 76cm), 22 in to 41 in (56cm to 104cm), and 26 in to 53 in (66cm to 135cm). Seals and bushings inside the upright hold the set height through a round, which matters more on a travel tee than a stationary one, since a tee that drifts on the road has nobody standing by to reset it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Rubber Cup\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe flexible rubber cup absorbs contact rather than resisting it, giving a hitter honest feel and sound at impact. It wears like any rubber part and is replaced on its own rather than with the tee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuilt in Florida, Repairable Everywhere\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMachined stainless steel and aluminum on a patented design, made in Ocala, Florida since 2009, with every component stocked separately. A two year warranty covers parts and labor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho This G Tee Lite Batting Tee Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTravel baseball and softball players and their parents, who move equipment constantly. Players training away from home. Instructors running lessons in rented cage space that has to be cleared afterward. Coaches buying several tees for a station rotation, where the weight of the whole set matters more than any one tee. A program hitting daily off one fixed tee will get more out of the Classic or Pro.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTraining Applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoad work: pregame swings at the field without hauling a full setup.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStation rotations, where three or four Lite tees move as easily as one heavy tee.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLessons in shared cage space with a hard setup and teardown window.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeight ladder drills through the upright's telescoping range.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBackyard practice for younger hitters who can set the tee up themselves.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eG Tee Lite Batting Tee Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBase: Lite 9 in x 9 in (23cm x 23cm), high-density polyethylene\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 5 lb complete\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpright: telescoping, choice of 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)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpright construction: precision machined stainless steel and aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBall rest: flexible rubber G Tee cup, replaceable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeight retention: seals and bushings within the telescoping upright\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight post: not supported on the Lite base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSport: baseball and softball\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesign: patented\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: made in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne Lite base and one telescoping upright in the size you select, fitted with the rubber cup. The Lite base does not take a weight post, so no plate is offered for this model.

That is the use players describe most often.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIs it stable enough for a full swing?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor ordinary tee work, yes. It is the lightest base G Tee makes, so hitters attacking the inside corner at full speed, or working on polished indoor floors, should step up to the Classic with its weight plate or the Pro's steel base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I add a weight to the Lite base?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The Lite base does not accept a weight post. That is the deliberate difference between it and the Classic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes it work for softball?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The cup takes a softball or a baseball, and the upright range covers both strike zones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I hit low pitches?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo the upright's minimum on its own, and below that with the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/g-tee-low-ball-attachments\"\u003eG Tee Low Ball Attachments\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"G Tee USA","offers":[{"title":"18\" - 30\" (46cm-76cm)","offer_id":51543818535227,"sku":"G06-GT1830Lite","price":159.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"22\" - 41\" (56cm-104cm)","offer_id":51543818567995,"sku":"G06-GT2241Lite","price":169.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"26\" - 53\" (66cm-135cm)","offer_id":51543818600763,"sku":"G06-GT2653Lite","price":179.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0957\/4658\/8987\/files\/GT1830Lite-IN437-1A.png?v=1786073095","url":"https:\/\/www.hittingstore.com\/products\/g-tee-lite-batting-tee","provider":"HittingStore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
