Sold individually.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA Cage Bat That Respects the Fastpitch Swing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGeneric 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSave the Gamer, Train Anyway\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComposite game bats hate cage balls and cold-weather volume.
