G Tee Pro Quad Batting Tee

The G Tee Pro Quad Batting Tee has four mounting locations on its base plate where the upright can be attached, on a 20 in (51cm) platform machined from 1/4 in (6.35mm) stainless steel. That is what Quad means, and it is the reason to buy this model: a hitter changes the contact point by moving the upright to a different position on the plate instead of picking up and repositioning the whole tee. Complete, it weighs 14 lb.

Four Positions, One Base

On an ordinary tee, working the inside corner and then the outside corner means moving the tee, which means eyeballing the new position and accepting that it is close enough. The Pro Quad puts four upright mounting points on one plate, so those positions are fixed, repeatable and the same every session. A coach can set the ball inside, move it out, and know the two locations are the same distance apart today as they were last week.

That repeatability is the difference between practising a location and practising near a location. It also speeds up a round, since the base never leaves the spot the hitter set up to.

Twenty Inches of Stainless Steel

The base is the widest G Tee makes, cut from 1/4 in (6.35mm) stainless steel. Width matters more here than on a single position tee, because the upright spends time mounted away from the centre of the plate, and a lighter base would want to tip when a ball set out at the edge takes a full swing. The steel handles it without a weight plate. At 14 lb this is not the tee to carry field to field, and that is the intended trade.

For the same steel with a smaller footprint and less weight, the G Tee Pro Batting Tee offers 16 in and 18 in bases at 10 lb. If the tee has to travel, the G Tee Lite Batting Tee is 5 lb.

Upright and Cup

Three telescoping upright sizes are offered and you choose one at purchase: 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 height you set through a full round. The flexible rubber cup absorbs contact so a hitter reads the barrel by feel and sound, and it is replaced on its own when it wears.

Built for Daily Volume

Machined stainless steel and aluminum on a patented design, made in Ocala, Florida since 2009. Kevin Fagan, head softball coach at Radford University, describes thousands of swings without a breakdown, and Troy Nakamura at the University of San Francisco reports a tee that still looks new after thousands more. Frank Griffin at Stetson University and Patrick Murphy at the University of Alabama make similar points about baseball and softball programs using them season after season. A two year warranty covers parts and labor.

Who This G Tee Pro Quad Batting Tee Is For

Programs with a permanent hitting station and a reason to want repeatable contact points. College, high school and academy cages taking hundreds of baseball and softball swings a week. Instructors teaching location work who want the inside and outside positions to be identical every session rather than approximated. Anyone whose first requirement is portability should choose a lighter model.

Training Applications

• Inside and outside corner work using fixed mounting positions instead of estimated tee placement.
• Contact point drills where the same two locations must repeat across sessions.
• Fixed cage stations where the tee stays assembled.
• Height ladder work through the telescoping range.
• Low pitch training with low ball attachments on the upright.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Quad mean?

Four locations on the base plate where the upright can be mounted. You move the upright between them to change the contact point rather than repositioning the whole tee.

Can I mount more than one upright at a time?

The tee ships with one upright. Additional G Tee Uprights are sold separately if you want more than one position occupied at once.

How does it differ from the standard Pro?

The Pro Quad is the 20 in base with four mounting positions at 14 lb. The standard Pro offers 16 in, 18 in and 20 in bases at 10 lb with a single upright position. Upright, cup and height range are the same.

Is 14 lb a problem?

Only if the tee has to travel. For a station that stays put, the weight is doing useful work.

Does it suit softball as well as baseball?

Yes. The cup takes either ball and the upright covers both strike zones.
