Pro Performance Hit-A-Way Baseball and Pole Combo Endorsed by Derek Jeter

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.

Customer Review: 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.
Customer Review: great for boys (and girls) ages 6-56!
This - along with a pogo stick and stilts - was my effort to get my kids offf the video games at least some of the time! I thought this might be too hard for the 6 year old, but he persisted and is getting better at it. The point is, it's so fun he keeps trying! The 13 yr old - and my 17 year old daughter are enjoying it too. There seems to be a trade-off between the stilts and the hit-a-way. Only the little guy can handle the pogo stick - go figure!

"Report to the Commissioner of Baseball of an Independent Investigation into the Illegal Use of Steroids and Other Performance Enhancing Substances by Players in Major League Baseball."

Sounds official doesn't it?

But does the "Mitchell Report" really help solve baseball's drug problem-or was it just a ploy by the Commissioner's office?

Bud Selig knew he needed to do something about steroids or his legacy would go down the drain. The day before the report was released to the public, Selig commented, "I haven't seen the report yet, but I'm proud I did it."

He's proud he did it. Right.

Wouldn't it have made more sense for Selig to say that he hadn't yet seen the report but was anxious to review the findings and recommendations of Senator Mitchell?

The Mitchell Report contains 409 pages of information regarding steroids. But we need to remember that it isn't evidence of anything.

Aside from the few cases in which evidence was produced, there's no proof that anyone took steroids.

Brian McNamee told Senator Mitchell he injected Roger Clemens with steroids a few years back. But there's no proof. Senator Mitchell said he had complete confidence in the accuracy of McNamee's testimony-but excuse me if that doesn't make me feel all better.

I would hope that Mitchell would feel "confident" before publishing a report that could ruin players' careers with no hard facts.

When Roger Clemens, Andy Pettitte, and Brian McNamee, among others, testify before Congress later this year, it's possible that we'll get more information. But until then, keep in mind that the Mitchell Report hasn't helped Major League Baseball nearly as much as it could potentially hurt it.
