About the Markwort Corkball Bat and Ball Set - 36 Inch Bat with 2 Corkballs
The Markwort Corkball Bat and Ball Set puts a full game in one tube: a 36 inch corkball bat, two corkballs and a printed set of rules. Corkball is a small-ball, baseball-style game that can be played by as few as two players, which makes this set an easy way to start a backyard game or add a hand-eye station to baseball practice. Choose white or yellow balls.
What Is Included
- One 36 inch Markwort corkball bat
- Two corkballs, white or yellow depending on the option you choose
- Corkball rules
- Clear plastic bat tube with removable end caps, about 40 inches long and 2.36 inches across
A Tube That Keeps the Set Together
The bat, balls and rules ship inside a slender, clear display tube that is reusable. Pull an end cap, play, and slide everything back in when the game is over. It keeps the balls from wandering off in the garage and makes the set simple to carry to a park or a tournament. The tube is sized for slender bats only, so a big-barrel baseball bat will not fit in it.
Why Baseball Hitters Like Corkball
A corkball bat has a thin barrel and the ball is much smaller than a baseball, so there is very little margin at contact. Hitters have to see the ball deep and deliver the barrel on time. That is good practice for any baseball swing, and it is a game players will actually ask to keep playing.
