{"product_id":"zone-hitter-swing-path-trainer","title":"Zone Hitter Swing Path Trainer","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Zone Hitter turns the old ball on a rope into a real teaching station. The hitter swings at a ball on an arm, and a correct swing sends the ball spinning between two horizontal pads, through the zone. Casting, sweeping and pulling off the ball send it into the pads instead, so the hitter sees the result on every swing and can correct it right away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA three position mounting bracket lets the coach set the station for hitting up the middle, pulling the ball or going the other way, and it switches from right handed to left handed in seconds. That makes it easy to teach correct contact points for inside, middle and outside pitches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSwing Faults It Corrects\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCasting the hands away from the body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSweeping the bat around the ball\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePulling off the ball with the front side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContact points too deep or too far out front for the pitch location\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDrills to Try\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMiddle of the field: set the bracket straight and drive the ball through the pads twenty times in a row.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInside pitch: move the bracket to the pull position and work on getting the barrel out front.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutside pitch: move to the opposite field position and let the ball travel deeper.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePitch location: pair with a Pitch Location Mat so hitters set their feet and contact point for each location.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMounting\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Zone Hitter mounts to a post or pole, or to the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/power-bag-zone-hitter-stand\"\u003ePower Bag and Zone Hitter Stand\u003c\/a\u003e, which holds the Zone Hitter and a Power Bag at the same time and rolls on wheels.
