Built in durable birch bamboo in four models: Youth 1 Hand (20 inch, 23 oz), Adult 1 Hand (25 inch, 30 oz), Youth 2 Hand (30 inch, 36 oz), and Adult 2 Hand (34 inch, 46 oz). Sold individually.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWeight Above the Hands, On Purpose\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCasting - letting the barrel drift away from the body early - is the most common swing leak at every level. Loading the IPTB above the hands makes a cast immediately heavy and awkward, while a connected, efficient path feels natural. The bat coaches the movement so the coach can watch the results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTrain Heavy, Swing Fast\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProNine builds the IPTB to let players train with a heavier bat: overload work that builds strength through the exact positions of the swing. The 1-hand models isolate each arm; the 2-hand models load the full movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere It Fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor straight overload\/underload speed work, run the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/pronine-overload-training-bat\"\u003eOverload\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/products\/pronine-underload-training-bat\"\u003eUnderload\u003c\/a\u003e pair.
