The Hitting Knob Bat Weight

The Hitting Knob is a weighted device that attaches to the knob of the bat while training. It allows players of all levels to perform proper hitting mechanics while maximizing bat speed and power.

The Hitting Knob trains the batter to swing the knob of the bat not the barrel, keeping the hitters hands inside the baseball/softball. This allows the barrel of the bat to get on a parallel path and stay in the zone throughout the swing; creating a whip-like motion with the barrel.

Weighting the knob-end of the bat ultimately increases bat speed and power once the weight is removed.

The Hitting Knob can be used in EVERY aspect of offensive training (i.e., on deck circle, tee work, soft toss and cage work); or, its most unique purpose, during live batting practice, which simulates the most authentic hitting experience.

Ideally, the batter starts with a weight that maintains the proper swing form, and moves to the higher weight as strength increases while maintaining swing control.
