JUGS Practice Package with Travel Screen and Hitting Tee
The JUGS Practice Package with Travel Screen and Hitting Tee puts together everything a young baseball or softball hitter needs for tee work at home or on the road. It combines the JUGS Hit Like a Pro Hitting Tee, the JUGS Complete Practice Travel Screen and two dozen Sting-Free dimpled practice balls. Players can build hitting skills, reinforce fundamentals and improve hand-eye coordination in a backyard, garage, gym or on the field.
Choose the baseball or softball version. The tee and screen are the same in both; the option decides whether Sting-Free baseballs or softballs come in the box.
A Youth Batting Tee Built for Daily Reps
Tee work is where most young hitters learn their swing, and the Hit Like a Pro Hitting Tee is made for it. The extension tube adjusts from 21 to 35 inches, so the tee can be set at the knees, belt or letters as a player grows and as drills change. The ribbed upper tee tube keeps the ball from slipping or shifting during practice, and the heavyweight solid rubber base keeps the tee planted through repeated swings.
The tee comes apart for storage, and a Grip-n-Go handle makes it easy to carry from the garage to the yard. A 2D barcode on the base links to setup tips, drills and videos, so parents who are new to coaching have somewhere to start.
A Travel Screen That Goes Wherever Practice Does
Tee hitting is only useful if there is something to hit into. The Complete Practice Travel Screen gives the hitter a 6.5 by 6.5 foot sock net that catches line drives and keeps balls in one place for quick collection. It weighs 25 pounds, sets up in under 2 minutes with no tools and packs into a 30-inch heavy-duty nylon bag with a shoulder strap, which fits in a car trunk.
The 7-foot frame uses 5/8-inch fiberglass poles and a 1-inch steel base that resists tipping, even on a windy day, and the base sits flat on grass, turf or a gym floor. A removable flip-over strike zone turns the screen into a pitching target, so the same setup can be used for throwing practice once the hitting session is done.
Sting-Free Balls Made for Practice
The package includes two dozen Sting-Free dimpled balls in the sport you choose. They are regulation size and weight with a softer feel that is easier on young hands and on bats, which suits a backyard where real balls can do damage. For more practice balls later, see the JUGS Sting-Free Dimpled Baseballs or the JUGS Sting-Free Dimpled Softballs.
Choosing Between the JUGS Hitting Packages
JUGS builds four hitting packages around the same Complete Practice Travel Screen, each available in baseball and softball versions. The difference is the hitting tool that comes with the screen:
- JUGS Practice Package (this package): pairs the Hit Like a Pro Hitting Tee (21 to 35 inches) with two dozen Sting-Free balls. It is the simplest setup and is aimed at backyard and youth league hitters.
- JUGS 5-Point Hitting Tee Package: swaps in the 5-Point Hitting Tee, whose five contact points teach inside, middle and outside pitch locations, with two dozen Sting-Free balls. It suits hitters working on plate coverage.
- JUGS T Hitting Station Package: adds a second, low tee: the JUGS T plus the JUGS Short T (16 to 23 inches), a dozen practice balls and a throw-down home plate, for high and low zone work.
- JUGS Toss Package: replaces the tee with the battery-powered Toss Machine, which tosses a ball every 5 seconds, plus a home plate, drill book and two dozen Sting-Free balls, for solo soft toss.
Pick the package that matches the hitter: a single tee for the basics, the 5-point tee for plate coverage, two tees for the full height of the zone, or the Toss Machine for moving-ball reps without a partner.
Who the JUGS Practice Package Is For
- Backyard players who want a dependable tee and net setup for daily baseball or softball swings.
- Youth league players learning swing fundamentals and their parents who want a ready-to-use practice station.
- Travel team families who need a hitting setup that packs into a trunk for warmups at the field.
Training Applications
A tee and a net cover a lot of ground for a developing baseball or softball hitter:
- Swing path: repeat the same swing at a fixed ball position to build a consistent path to contact.
- Pitch height: raise or lower the tee between 21 and 35 inches to practice low, middle and high pitches.
- Contact point: move the tee forward or back to practice meeting the ball out front or letting it travel deeper.
- Hand-eye coordination: focusing on a stationary ball builds the habit of seeing the bat hit the ball.
- Pitching: flip down the strike zone and use the screen as a target for throwing to locations.
Setting Up the Practice Station
- Unpack the travel screen from its bag and set it up, which takes under 2 minutes with no tools.
- Assemble the tee and set the height for the drill.
- Place the tee a few feet in front of the screen so balls carry into the sock net.
- Load the ball bucket or a pile of Sting-Free balls next to the tee and start swinging.
