ProNine FPWTB Fastpitch Softball Weighted Training Bat - 33 and 34 Inch
The ProNine FPWTB is a weighted training bat built specifically for fastpitch softball: durable bamboo, game-size barrel, and an approximate -2 weight to length ratio in 33 and 34 inch lengths, several ounces heavier than the -10 and -11 composites fastpitch is played with. Sold individually.
A Cage Bat That Respects the Fastpitch Swing
Generic weighted trainers are baseball tools; the FPWTB keeps the same barrel size used in fastpitch games, so cage work transfers instead of retraining. At roughly -2, a 33 inch bat swings around 31 oz: honest overload for a player gaming a 23 oz composite, without turning the swing into a shot-put.
Save the Gamer, Train Anyway
Composite game bats hate cage balls and cold-weather volume. A bamboo cage bat absorbs the thousands of practice reps, protects the expensive gamer, and adds strength work for free.
Where It Fits
Baseball players run the Overload/Underload pair; the Ideal Path adds path-specific loading for both sports. Stock the cage from the fastpitch softballs collection and browse the rest of the training bats collection.
Like all ProNine training bats, it is built for tee work and soft toss: ProNine does not recommend training bats for live pitching, and that honesty is why they last.

What does -2 mean?
Length minus weight: a 34 inch, -2 bat weighs about 32 oz. Fastpitch game bats run -10 to -12, so this trainer adds roughly 8-10 oz of overload while keeping game dimensions.
Can it be used against live pitching?
No: like the whole ProNine trainer line, it is built and recommended for tee work and soft toss, where weighted training belongs.
