Easton SCX14 Synergy Extended Slow Pitch Bat Review

Easton SCX14 Synergy Extended Slow Pitch Bat
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I wanted to "treat" myself to a good bat and I purchased this 34inch 30oz Easton. I've purchased various easton bats over the years and was looking forward to this one. I'm 6'1" and a lean 195 lbs and expect a bat to transfer energy, not flex too much. The bat sounds odd, as if it literally had a barrel made from bamboo. I know, it's weird. People ask about the bat all the time, for all the wrong reasons. The extended barrel might be the culprit, but who knows. Don't get me wrong, it does have positives. When you hit the ball perfectly, it does push the ball deep, but I use this as my secondary bat. Now, I'm back to my older Eastons that perform solid and have softballs pop right off the barrel. Hope this helps. -E.

Boasting Easton's patented Integrated Matrix (IMX) technology, which optimizes the relationship between the materials, design technologies, and manufacturing process, the SCX14 Synergy extended bat continues to dominate the slow-pitch game. The bat's distinguishing features are its 13.5-inch extended barrel--which creates a bigger sweet spot--and its Extended Flex design, which stretches the sweet spot all the way across the entire barrel length. As a result, slow-pitch softball players will enjoy more power than ever before.
Other details include an evenly balanced design that maximizes swing speed; an ultra-thin 29/32-inch handle with a Pro-Tack cushioned grip; and a 2-1/4-inch barrel diameter. The Synergy slow-pitch bat--which meets all 2007 bat performance standards from ASA, USSSA, NSA, ISA, SSUSA, and ISF--carries a one-year warranty.
About Easton In 1922, Doug Easton began crafting custom wood bows and cedar arrows in Watsonville, California. Although Doug produced tournament-grade, footed cedar arrows for the archery champions of that era, he was constantly frustrated with the inconsistency and lack of uniformity of wood shafts. Convinced that consistently straight uniform arrow shafts were impossible to manufacture from wood, Doug turned his attentions to aluminum. In 1939, he began manufacturing aluminum arrows in Los Angeles. His instincts about this material were correct, and in 1941, California archer Larry Hughes won the national championship with a set of Doug's aluminum arrows. This was the beginning of a trend that would change traditional archery and transcend into numerous other sports arenas over the next 50 years.
Today, Jas. D. Easton, Inc. is a privately owned manufacturer, marketer and distributor of sporting equipment, headquartered in Van Nuys, California. It currently employs more than 1,000 people worldwide in various distribution, manufacturing, sales and marketing capacities. Other operations are located in Salt Lake City, Utah, Mexico and Canada. Easton is considered one of the world's preeminent innovators, designers, and manufacturers of sporting equipment. Much of this success is due to Easton's corporate strategy centered around producing products for the highest level of performance. Throughout its history, Easton has not only grown from within, but through the selective acquisition of other technology-based sporting goods companies.

MacGregor Batting Tee - Black Review

MacGregor Batting Tee - Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
After going through a number of cheaply made batting Ts, I stumbled across this one. This is the one sanctioned version by the T-ball Assn of American and it's sturdy and well-built(Our T-ball team uses this version it games). It may cost a few pennies more than cheep WalMart versions, but it is well worth the price. You'll be handing this down to cousins and friends - that's how well it's built. The friction fit rubber pipes are perfect for adjusting to different little batters swings.
Go ahead and swing at this pitch, you won't regret it.

Accubat Review

Accubat
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I love my Accubat! This is the best baseball training tool I have ever purchased. I have used this product with my 7-8 year old baseball teams and it works great. I can get great distance and accuracy with little fatigue when praticing with my outfielders. And even though it is best for fly balls, you can also use it to deliver ground balls and line drives. It does take some practice to get used too, but it is worth it especially if you are not that good with the fungo bat. I would recommend this to all youth coaches.

This practice tool is so advanced it lets coaches place grounders, flyballs, and line drives with pinpoint accuracy. So every ball a coach hits is a fielding opportunity for their player.

Jugs Yellow Dimpled Baseballs, 9-Inch, One Dozen Review

Jugs Yellow Dimpled Baseballs, 9-Inch, One Dozen
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
These Jugs dimpled baseballs are designed primarily just for use in high-grade baseball pitching machines, & I can attest that they serve this purpose relatively well. I would point out, however, that these balls will lack the physics of a typical baseball with stitching.
The price of these balls is competitive with that of lower cost leather-covered baseballs &, therefore, not a bad deal. However, one obviously does not have the other advantages of a real baseball, such as the stitching- which makes these not useful for pitching or fielding practice.
Where these balls really stand out is their durability, including being weatherproof. Unlike a baseball, for example, these could be left outside without too much detriment to their performance. Also, unlike similar looking balls we've encountered in commercial batting cages, these don't have that 'stiff-as-a-brick' like quality- although you still don't want to be hit by one.

Louisville Slugger Youth Instructo Swing 1500 Baseball Batting Tee Review

Louisville Slugger Youth Instructo Swing 1500 Baseball Batting Tee
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this item becuase my 8 year old daughter's tendency was to drop her hands, shoulder, and bat while hitting. She would open her swing too early and had such a difficult time getting her hands out in front. Though I would demonstrate to her how to properly swing she didn't seem to grasp my instruction. This swing tee was what I was looking for and after only one swing session on this tee my daughter realizes now how she's been dropping her hands. It did take a few whacks to the frame of the tee, and that painful vibration to her hands, to grasp what she was doing wrong. Shortly though, she began to keep the hands, shoulder, and bat up and swing properly. This item met my expection.
Now, the reason I gave this item only three stars. I received this item yesterday and immediately set it up. After about ten minutes each of swing practice for my 8 and 6 year old daughters, two of the three included rubber tees, which the ball seats on, had cracked in half. I'm on my last rubber tee and likely will have to purchase replacement tees at about $16 for a 3-pack. This is absolutely unacceptable for a product in this price range! My take is that the rubber tees are too stift, not enough flexibility to withstand continuous strikes from a bat. The solution to this is to use some rubber glue compound, purchase the replacement tees, or purchase the Louisville Slugger Retract-A-Ball & Tee Attachment For Instructo Swing Batting Tee for additional $60 which angers me oven more. The link to this item on Amazon is included below.
http://www.amazon.com/Louisville-Slugger-Retract-Attachment-Instructo/dp/B00183HOOI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=sporting-goods&qid=1300024464&sr=1-1
My other complaint with the 1500 model is that it doesn't allow for a slight upward swing as pictured on the 5000 model. Also, the full downward setting (swivel fully to the right) is too angled, so much so that I wasn't able to place a softball, baseball, tennis ball, or wiffle ball on the rubber tee and have it remain. It would make more sense that the angle from the base pole that attached to the C-style rubber encased "hitting zone" would be 90 degrees given how the base pole is able to swivel. Swiveling the tee fully to the left allows for a level swing. Swiveling straight up allows for a nice downward cut. Anything to the right, you're better off purhcasing that Retract-A-Ball & Tee Attachment that I likely will end up having to do. I'll be contacting Amazon today to express my complaints with the replacement rubber tees. But for purposes of you considering my review, I would recommend this product because I've already seen a difference with both my daughter's swings after only one use.
Update: I've since purchased replacement rubber tees from another website. I had the same problem which after only a few swings the rubber tees cracked in half. I had actually supported the rubber tees by taping with black electrical tape. This made no difference and within one day of using the replacement rubber tees with my 8U softball team, they all cracked in half after only two batters. These rubber tees are horrible, absolutely terrible. What I've done since then is to use a separate rubber tee and position it flush to the Louisville swing tee. I love how this swing tee demonstrates a proper tee but the rubber replacement tees are absolutely terrible. Do not purchase any replacement tees and it's a complete waste of money.
I did elect not to purchase the Retract-a-ball tee attachment because I just don't foresee the foam casing lasting long after multiple strikes. Does Louisville actually believe that children will strike the ball without striking the rubber tee.

Brett Bros. Bamboo Dragon Wood Bat Review

Brett Bros. Bamboo Dragon Wood Bat
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I wanted a wood bat to use at the cages & chose this one after a teammate of mine said how much he loved his. Upon picking up the bat, it has great balance, not too end-heavy. When I used it for a few rounds in the batting cage, I am certain that I will puchase one or two more for next season. The feel of the ball off the bat is smooth, and after intentionally hitting a few off the end and handle, the bat did not break. Also, the vibration with this bat is much less than a standard ash or maple bat, which helps in the early season games here in Wisconsin so I can feel my hands after a fist/end job. All in all, I strongly recommend this bat as an excellent addition to anyone looking for a good bat for a woodbat league.

Easton Power Pads Review

It does take the sting out but it really makes it hard to grip the butt of the handle. For a normal grip I would rate it higher but I like to tapper the end of the barrel and place my pinky on the other side of the butt. The Power pad moves to much and makes for an odd feel. Must be used with normal grip with both hands on the handle against the butt (not over it).

Rawlings Indoor/Outdoor T-ball Baseball - Leather Cover (TVB) Review

Average Reviews:

I got this baseball mainly to play catch with my son. It is a t-ball baseball but if thrown moderately hard and it hits you it will hurt some. The durability has been great so far and nothing out of the ordinary. The seams look like they are held properly and tightly.
The overall appearance of the baseball is nice, though there are quite a few logos on it, 4 in all and all blue. But it gives a nice look to the ball. the blue was actually darker than the one in the picture shown here on amazon, which looks sky blue. Or maybe its my monitor.
Anyways this is a nice ball to play catch with as it flys true when thrown and the desgin is nice as well.

Overall a good training device. I've used the baseball and now the softball version, and both have been good for my hitting practice.
My only complaint on the softball one is that after about 1000 hits or so, the ball is now slightly mis-shaped. Still quite usable though, and I plan to keep using it all season.
It is also useful to break in a new bat.
Since I have a basketball hoop, it was no problem attaching and using this. Set-up takes about 30 seconds each time I use it.
All in all a good product!
