Does it help with swinging a bat

They are thin enough to wear when swinging a bat. I'm not so sure of the benefits since I'm not a trainer or ball player.

Sorry don't know. i use it for ankle weights. But i doubt it as it would interfere with wrist movement.

This will be our second season using the Accubat and our players are a mix of 13 and 14 year olds. You can definitely hit a baseball further with a regular bat but this product is very effective for medium and short-range fly balls. It takes some practice to get your range down but once you figure it out you should do fine with it.

No this bat is balanced. You would be looking or a bat that is end loaded. It is heavier at the end bringing bat around quicker. At 6 years old she should work on getting the correct stance and form using her hips to come around. The hips are the key to more power. Use a good bat but at 6 I would get a good bat like this and work on form. Equipment can help but skill and hard work is the key to any good player. Good Luck!

Good question. As a former catcher I can say that it will give you support for your catching hand for all of that constant pounding. I think it will provide some support for your throwing arm but you might find it restricting in how flexible your hand/wrist will be when grabbing for the ball say on a bunt attempt. But it will not protect you from getting hit. It doesn't have that type of cushioning protection.

Almost any isolation from the bat will reduce vibration/shock(felt in the hands), be it a glove or a grip

No, it does not. The machine is not designed for an actual baseball. The balls that are used are similar to soft toss balls used in a batting that has dimples in it and lighter than an actual baseball.

No. I kept trying to get a refund or new bat after mine broke after just three months of use. So many hoops to jump through. I was very unhappy with the whole thing.

I bought this for my 13 year old grandson. He uses it to pitch to and to field grounders. He likes it but I can't say because I haven't seen him use it with a baseball. He throws football passes into it too.

Half of the time, I couldn't get it to work period. The engineer at SwingSmart said that it may be due to me not coming to a complete stop before I started my swing, something to do with the system detecting the start of the swing. It is supposed to work whether you hit the ball or not, but that was not my experience.

Yes ,give it a try I know you will be happy with it. I had a guy from a mans slow pitch check it out, and said he was going to get one for his team too practice.

Yes. My next door neighbor, play's varsity baseball and he love's it could select speed and time drop to work on swing speed..I use it for my travel team and they enjoy it...

You need to hit something firm. A practice ball works as well. Just swinging without hitting something won't register anything on the app. Hope this helps.

I don't know about swinging it. It is great stabbing and thrusting into things maybe even more heavy duty than cardboard. Swinging though is not very good the blade gets a little loose and u can feel some wobble in it like the handle needs to be tightened after a couple swings

No it does not, but that would be great since it swings when worn around the neck.

Yes it would help anyone of any age. It has lines to teach them to keep there swing path straight and not turn the putter before, during and after striking the ball. It's marked out to a 7' putt, and also show you the length of your back swing and how far to take your after swing. I use my every day.

Most definitely. I use it for kids, but just took an adult out to work on his hitting. Excellent product.

Actually it does, but I've gotten over it. It almost forces you to do them properly. It's less of an issue if you are facing the pad, but that angle does interfere if you swing your body even a little, and I'm thin so consider that also.
