Product Description
Product Description
Pro Performance has developed an effective training tool that doubles as your own personal batting instructor. It's designed to improve your hand-eye coordination while also improving your overall pacing, timing, and confidence in your swing. It adjusts easily to hit high, middle, or low balls and attaches to a tree or pole and can be used in a backyard, practice field, and many other places. The pole locks into place for stability while the foot pads keep the pole in a steady position. It's also a great tool to practice switch hitting.
Great for team practice, the Hit-A-Way Baseball and Pole Combo sets up very quickly and also collapses to 3-1/2 feet for easy transport and storage. Additionally, wheels and a handle are also included to make it even more effortless to move around.
Note:
It's recommended that you use a practice bat with your Hit-A-Way Baseball and Pole Combo. Much like the balls in a batting cage, the durable materials are meant to last and should not be used with a high-end aluminum or wood bat.
Product Description
The Hit-A-Way Pole and Baseball Hit-A-Way Combo make for the ultimate portable baseball training tool. Endorsed by nine time all star Derek Jeter, the Hit-A-Way Pole and Hit-A-Way Combo allows you to perfect your swing without the headache of lost balls or broken windows. This package includes the Baseball Hit-A-Way Trainer and secure, portable Hit-A-Way Pole for hours of invaluable practice. The convenient Hit-A-Way also sets up quickly and easily collapses for storage. The Hit-A-Way is an ideal training device for the home, park or school.

Read The Instructions Before Use,
By Pony League Coach (North Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pro Performance Hit-A-Way Baseball and Pole Combo Endorsed by Derek Jeter (Sports)
Read a previous buyers comments. However, I still purchased this for my 7 y/o. Because of said problems, I made sure to read the instructions prior to use. (Yes, I am a man so y'all know how hard that was.) Anyway, the most difficult part of the Hit-a- Way Pole was putting it away. After the 1-3 minute set up time, my 7 y/o needed about 5 swings to get the hang of this product. 30 minutes later he and my 16 y/o had figured out how they both could use it at the same time. (Helmets suggested) 2 hours later I had to literaly pull my boys away from it. Two points to address from a previous buyer: 1) If you attach the ends of the cable to the pole correctly, the legs will not cause any interferance. 2) If you do not hit the ball correctly, it will not return, (unwind), properly. I would not call this a problem, but a training/use issue. My sons quickly learned that a bad hit/swing was very obvious, which lead them to practice and master the proper hitting technique. (In short, the ball failing to return was not caused by any part of the device, but by improper hitting technique by the batter.) It is a very well built product and it is easy to set up, take down and store. Because of its construction it is a heavy product, but the wheels aide in the ease of its placement and storage. I would recommend this product. Heck! so does Derek Jetter and Reggie Jackson before him. PS...I set it back up and took a few swings myself. Ok, a whole lotta swings, but don't tell the boys that their mom had to pull me inside to get me to stop. Remember how to be a kid again, have some patience, fun and play ball!

Solid product,

First, I am a recreational adult baseball player. Our league is very competitive, so our gear is most often the best we can buy. I have used the hit-a-way ball for a year now with good success. I was forced to purchase the pole because in Phoenix, there is no round poles to play off of. The Hit-A-Way pole was very solid, which was what I wanted. I was afraid that hitting it with enough force would tip it over, but not this product. It is heavy as posted by others, but the attached wheels makes for easy transport. This is a great product for solo players where you dont have to rely on someone else to feed you the ball.

Great for All Ages!,
By Central Valley Reader (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pro Performance Hit-A-Way Baseball and Pole Combo Endorsed by Derek Jeter (Sports)
This is a great bat Training Aid. It is a versatle piece of equipment also since you can get the Softball or tennis ball kits very easily. I have used it with boys from ages 8 and Up. We use it for our family and our little league team.
As for the one negative comment. If the ball does not wind and return correctly then you have not struck the ball correctly. Pop-ups and tips will not wind correctly. This is how you learn to strike the ball properly. Line drives score not pop-ups. As an adult on the machine it is FUN and Easy form of exercise. Machine sets up and breaks down in minutes. So far the only part that wears is the Ball and they last a long time! New ball and cables run about $20 -30.
