SWINGRAILBaseball/Softball Swing Trainer Aid - Equipment for Batting and Hitting

I’ve been using this swing trainer for a few weeks, and it’s really helped me improve my form. It’s lightweight, easy to use, and has made a noticeable difference in my swing consistency. I love that it helps with both muscle memory and flexibility.It’s a great tool for any golfer looking to work on their technique, whether you’re a beginner or more experienced. I’ve already seen improvements in my game, and I definitely recommend it!

This product has been good for my 8 year old. It's helped him get into a better launch position, with hands behind his shoulder and knob of bat pointed at the catcher's feet, in addition to enforcing keeping his hands inside the ball. It's more difficult to be successful when hitting even a stationary target like a hit stick or ball off a tee, but pretty easy on dry swings.You have to make sure they're not cheating the system (by dropping the hands and slipping the hook from the loop before the swing for example) or creating bad habits in other parts of the swing but for my son anyways its helping to create a more compact and efficient swing path.I don't think it's meant to be an end-all be-all but I like to use it at the beginning of a workout to get in good position and reinforce keeping the hands inside.When you're tightening the strap, pull it towards you, otherwise you have it on backwards. And if you extend the loop from the center of your bicep as opposed to the outside of your arm it seems to fit the loop more snug to the hook and there's less chance for the loop to slide off before you start the swing.Anyways, I don't know if I'd go so far to say that it creates the perfect swing, I've snapped the loop with swings I thought were pretty decent, but used as a corrective drill or a reminder to keep your hands inside I think it's great.

This is a frustrating divide for young kids to wear/use, but after a few weeks it really seemed to help my sons swing! I don’t totally get how it works but he is hitting more consistently and hitting father than he ever did in the spring season!

It’s okay. I dont find it to be easy to use. I put it on myself before using it with my child and it is frustrating having to spend time trying to get it in the right position. Not only that but even if you are swinging “correctly” it doesn’t come off or the Velcro on the green loop breaks. It is not user friendly and I probably won’t be using it much or at all.

If your hitter casts or has an arm bar type swing, this is a very useful training tool. Doesn't allow the front arm to straighten and promotes a very short path to the hitting zone.Only con would be that it's very difficult to keep in one spot on the upper arm. In my experience, the more it slides down toward the elbow, the more it catches and doesn't work as well. I found it worked better up towards the armpit.

Funny story...My son is a small 11u player. He casts but just a little and not every swing, very nice swing but slightly out from his body. Bought this to correct that slight issue, and I can see this working to fix it over time but the funny part is when he takes a fast swing and casts the Velcro breaks and the strap slaps him right in his face!!! I fell off the bucket laughing the first time because that is instant feedback If I ever seen it!!He is not a fan yet but I did see a slight improvement after my amusement and had him do slow dry swings for about 10 min before we did tee work without the device. We will continue with the dry swing in slower motion before I subject him to the next beatdown.2nd day update....after having my son read some.of these reviews and him seeing some detailed success stories he was willing to put in work and gave it another chance... so today before his team practice I had him do 50 dry swings slowly, he finished with about 15 dry fast swings and guess what.....He swung without triggering the feedback. He was excited.We went to practice and he hit so well the coach asked me if I had him do private batting lesson with a hitting coach. His teammates were making comments about how hard and far he was hitting the ball every swing. He has never put together that type of show so I am gonna give it a 5th star and highly recommend this to anyone from 60lbs and up.3mo update....Well my son leads his team in BA, SLG, OBP, and contact %. He plays 11u travelball on a fairly good team and is the 2nd to smallest player out there. He is also playing up at 12u for some tournaments and is outhitting the bigger, older kids. And I give most of the credit to this product. It has fine tuned his swing to make all aspects better and more consistant. He uses this product everyday by himself in the cage off a tee and almost never triggers the device anymore. He will do Tee, soft toss and front toss with it on just to challenge himself.I can see how a kid that is rough with mechanics may quit before giving it a chance but try to convince them to stick it out because it will help if you allow enough time to build that muscle memory.

Nice idea but doesn't work very well for beginners. Don't waste the money

This is a great swing trainer. If you have issues dropping your hands or swinging late, this will help solve it. Take your time following the videos on setup, and be patient. It will drive you crazy when you swing incorrectly and the velcro comes undone, but after about a week of practicing both my son and I figured it out. He went from struggling to hit faster pitchers to hitting a grand slam in the Little League All Star District Tournament two weeks later.
