How is it for a hitting batton?

It is made of plastic . It will break and you will not have a stun gun anymore. It is a little confusing as the name is batton but it is not a hitting batton it is a plastic telescoping stun gun that you can use a little farther away from your attacker than a normal very close contact stun gun that you press into your attacker. The batton is a " I hope I can scare this guy enough to make him quit his attack with this large plastic thing that pops out" stun gun. It has a very loud alarm on it and I would use that first before I deployed the stun gun part of it. If your attacker has a jacket on, the stun gun might not work as effectively as a close contact type and if you use that first you might have a problem getting to the alarm button while your attacker deflects the batton and you fumble with a small switch to sound the alarm so somebody could actually help or call for help while you get molested or robbed.

My daughter who is 9 is using a composit bat and I've takin some good swings with her bat and haven't seen nothing wrong with the bat. Now I wouldn't say over time it won't ruin the bat. The best way to use this machine is not to power swing but to hit it around 75%. It's more about hand eye coordination and muscle memory and the right way to swing... Swinging to hard makes the ball jump around instead of an even swing around the pole... Overall I'm really happy with it

I have found it adequate, and I have had it in hot and humid conditions and have gone skiing with it. The skiings tougher on the bat, but it has lasted the whole day. And I am repeatedly taking it out, starting it up, taking a few shots and putting it back in my pocket.Backpacking for more then two days you will need a backup bat.

Been good so far.. Used it on a recent trip to Hawaii where it everted endured few rain showers... Just kept the bat in the pouch on the back and it's still kicking

Its not that accurate of a gun. I ended up buying a longer barrel but that was a small improvement. If you are planning on playing speed ball, look for a different gun. The gun is terrible with stock parts. I ended up putting another 100 bucks into itand it still wasn't that great of a gun. It's a good starter gun but once you get out gunned by little rich kids it doesn't feel so good.

Depends on how well you can hit back. The majority of my balls go flying off the table and I have to stop every few minutes to pick them up.

For me it would be. I can hit high fly balls about 150 feet, maybe a little farther. If you don't need to hit your ball to the outfield from home plate on the "big field" I highly recommend it.

I would say under 300 fps but 400 fps and above get a full head gear that would give you better protection, to play it safe. People I know run it in 400 fps battles says its okay and cant take the constant beating of the bb's.

My 9 yr old loves it for fielding, mostly in our hall INDOORS. As for batting, it is only good at close range in light wind. I do recommend this product for ages 7-12. It has 3 speed settings that range from soft toss to maybe 45 mph at close range. Great motor for the price. If you want to spend $$$, players and coaches rave about the Sklz hurricane 4 for batting.

My ten year old son uses it for defense. Great for defense but I don't believe the ball will return at pitching distance. If it doesn't return completely it's still better than throwing at a five gallon bucket.

Accubat is great for hitting baseballs. You can hit controlled pop-flys, ground balls, and line drives. Accubat has saved my arm from throwing outfield pop flys.

Definitely. It packs a strong punch and shoots much farther than expected, but the wind can catch the shots. Lots of power. Minimal accuracy. Works best in the 20-40 ft range. If you miss, the shot is going into the next yard.

its good. like with most bb guns, it stings when the bb hits you, but it depends on how much pain you can tolerate. it shoots pretty far but lacks any ironsights to help with aiming. overall, a 3 out of 5 stars

The Louisville slugger is great for baseball practice. You can set the speed to accommodate the type of ball you are playing. One of the best purchases we made for our child's practices.

Just a quick follow up, we bought one for our daughter who is 4' 6", 60-70lbs in 5th grade. We bought her a 29" 19 oz DeMarini, also called a drop 10 (-10). It's a good length and weight. You can find some good deals on these bats and if it's a starter, he will keep changing bats as his skill progresses. Good luck

About 150 hits of the ball. We took our son to the bating cages and it was broke in after an afternoon.

Scott, I just bought one and its the best I have used or seen for power and accuracy. I suggest you use a heavy pellet for max impact for hunting. Love this one. It will break the sound barrier if you oil the pellets.
