{"product_id":"g-tee-pro-batting-tee","title":"G Tee Pro Batting Tee","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe G Tee Pro Batting Tee puts the G Tee telescoping upright on a machined stainless steel base cut from 1\/4 in (6.35mm) plate, offered in 16 in (41cm), 18 in (46cm) and 20 in (51cm). The base is the whole point of the model: heavy and wide enough that the tee does not move when a hitter works the corners of the plate, and stable enough that no separate weight is needed. This is the configuration college and professional baseball and softball hitters most often train on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy a Moving Base Quietly Ruins a Drill\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen a tee shifts under contact, the hitter adjusts to the tee's new position instead of repeating a swing, and the location the coach set stops being the location being trained. Nobody notices, because the swings still look fine. The Pro base addresses it at the source: 1\/4 in (6.35mm) stainless steel with enough mass and footprint that it does not slip, does not tip when the ball is set off either corner, and does not need a plate to manage either.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLink Jarrett, head baseball coach at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, specifically credits the base options with allowing stability and variety in pitch locations. Mike Larabee at the University of Arkansas and Ralph Weekly at the University of Tennessee make the durability case over multiple seasons, and Russ Canzler of the Tampa Bay Rays describes daily use of the high tee position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eChoosing Among Three Base Sizes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBase size is a real decision, not a trim level. The 16 in (41cm) is the most portable and suits hitters working mostly down the middle. The 18 in (46cm) is the middle ground. The 20 in (51cm) gives the widest platform for corner work and is the base under the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/g-tee-pro-quad-batting-tee\"\u003eG Tee Pro Quad Batting Tee\u003c\/a\u003e. Complete, the Pro weighs 10 lb, which is double the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/g-tee-lite-batting-tee\"\u003eG Tee Lite Batting Tee\u003c\/a\u003e and the honest cost of the steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Upright and the Cup\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree telescoping upright sizes are offered and you choose one: 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 long round, so high volume work stays comparable swing to swing. The flexible rubber cup gives way at contact, which is what produces the feel and the sound hitters use to judge a barrel. The cup is replaceable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuilt to Professional Standards\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMachined stainless steel and aluminum on a patented design, made in Ocala, Florida since 2009, with every part stocked individually. A two year warranty covers parts and labor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho This G Tee Pro Batting Tee Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHitters and programs running tee work every day. High school, travel, college and professional baseball and softball players who train location rather than just contact, and who need the ball to hold position through a whole round. Instructors whose tees take hundreds of swings a week.
