Rope Bat Original Patented Swing Trainer w/ 12 Balls - Baseball & Softball

An excellent training tool for developing a fundamentally sound swing. I'm currently using it with a youth baseball player, and it's made a noticeable difference. You simply can't cheat your swing or cast while using it - it forces proper mechanics, barrel path, and connection through the zone. I only wish a training aid like this had been around when I was playing. It's one of the best investments you can make for building the right swing from the beginning.

I bought the Rope Bat Swing Trainer for my 7-year-old son, who, bless his heart, could NOT swing through for the life of him. Watching him at bat was like watching someone try to swat a mosquito with a pool noodle: lots of effort, absolutely no follow-through, and everyone confused because somehow, he manges to make contact 80% of the time but could never hit past second base. Enter: The Rope Bat. This thing is basically a magical floppy bat that teaches kids how to swing. The idea is simple: if he doesn’t swing correctly, the bat whips around like a disappointed spaghetti noodle. If he DOES swing correctly, it actually hits the ball instead of gently tapping it like it’s afraid of confrontation. After a few sessions, something incredible happened, MY SON STARTED SWINGING THROUGH. Like… consistently. Like… he suddenly understood physics. Like… I nearly cried at practice but held it in because other parents were watching. The 12 soft training balls are a gift from the baseball gods. My son can miss them, smack them, or launch them into orbit, and nobody loses teeth. And the bat itself? Durable enough to survive a 7-year-old who plays baseball as if he's reenacting an action movie. Now he steps up to the plate with confidence, swings like he means it, and occasionally looks back at me like, “Did you SEE that?” Yes, child. I saw it. And so did all the other parents who now think I hired a personal hitting coach. It saved my kid’s swing, boosted his confidence, and prevented me from quietly screaming into a seat cushion at practice. 10/10 would Rope Bat again.

Love this! It has helped my girls at home and will help my husband as a softball coach highly recommend!

Hands down the best tool for all ages. Even got me back in check. My 6yo wasn’t swinging through to finish; great coordination and getting hits, but no distance. One 15 minute session and he realized what we meant by saying swing hard and follow through. Now we can work more on proper technique. I even let the less developed teammates use it during BP and they spent the rest of the season getting hits. Highly recommend, but learn/know what you’re trying to accomplish with it and how. We also love taking it to the beach.

As a tool, this works really well for training. It helped my son with his swing and that would normally make this 5 stars. However, the price they are charging is outrageous. I can't imagine it cost them more than a few bucks to make these (and that's being generous). I'm surprised there aren't competitors here, but at least you can find cheap foam balls from 3rd party sellers instead of what they are trying to charge for additional balls. If you have the money and don't mind overpaying, this is a good tool to have and work with as part of your training.

This rope bat is awesome for tee work. It perfects the swing. If you do not swing the bat just right, you will not make contact with the ball. So far, the balls that come with it and the bat are holding up well. There are 12 foam balls that will fly if it is hit correctly! We will be buying a second rope bat so we can split the team up and work in two sections.

The rope bat exceeded every expectation I had! My daughter is 9 and we bought the rope bat to help her with her swing. I am very skeptical of any “trainer” no matter what it is but this is a remarkably amazing tool! I went over the swing how to stay connected and so on and in three sessions we have doubled her swing speed and cut her swing plane in half!!! She now drives balls out of the infield with little effort! She has doubled her confidence and takes B.P with a smile one her face now!! We’ve only been swinging with it for 3weeks so far and she has learned kind of what she did wrong already!! I am so confident this is a tool that will make any hitter better that I bought enough to outfit my entire league with them!

Rope bat is a hit with the kids. This helps them self correct without someone trying to explain what the problem is. My son started using this when he was 9. He will grab this up if he is struggling at the plate and this seems to help build his confidence. With baseball you use what works for you and this thing does the trick.
