{"product_id":"guide-bar","title":"Perfect Swings USA Guide Bar for Swing Path Trainer","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Perfect Swings USA Guide Bar is the replacement feedback bar for the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/swing-path-trainer\"\u003eSwing Path Trainer\u003c\/a\u003e, the component that tells a baseball or softball hitter whether each swing stayed on plane. If the bat clips the base of the bar, the hands cast out; if it clips the top, the swing chopped down. A clean pass means an on-plane swing. Keeping a fresh bar on the trainer keeps that feedback honest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuilt to Absorb Mishits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Guide Bar is 100 percent polycarbonate, the same impact-resistant material used in motorcycle helmets, and is rated for a 20,000 direct hit life span. Since taking hits from mis-swings is its entire job, that rating is what matters: even a hitter grooving out a bad casting habit will take thousands of swings before wearing one out. Installation on the Swing Path Trainer takes seconds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAdjustable Difficulty\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bar adjusts up and down on the trainer to tighten or widen the swing window. Set it generous for a young baseball player just learning the feel of an on-plane swing, then bring it down as the hitter improves and needs a stricter standard. That adjustability is also why many owners keep a spare bar on hand - the bar takes the punishment so the trainer does not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGuide Bar Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits the Perfect Swings USA Swing Path Trainer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: 100 percent polycarbonate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated life span: 20,000 direct hits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjustable up and down to increase or decrease difficulty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides casting and chopping feedback for baseball and softball swings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne year manufacturer warranty on swing training products\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow do I know when to replace the Guide Bar?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReplace it when visible cracking or deformation starts to change how the bar sits, or when heavy use approaches its 20,000 direct hit rating.
