Improve your hitting ‘muscle memory’ and hit like a pro! The Quick-T Automated Batting Tee from QHI Sports allows the batter to maintain his or her batting stance, concentration and rhythm by automatically feeding each ball onto the tee. The consistency of the automatic ball-feeding system will enable the player to enjoy a more focused practice session, and will help develop the ‘muscle memory’ so critical in the development of proper hitting technique.
Each ball feeds on demand as the previous ball is hit off the tee with 3000+ cycles possible before the battery needs recharging. At a light 25 pounds, the machine is very portable, but stable enough to handle the toughest of practice drills with the rack holding 18 baseballs or 12 softballs. Stop picking up each ball and take ‘More Swings in Less Time’ as you enhance your hitting technique. A must-have for the serious ball player or team!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How much does the tee weigh and does it require assembly? The Quick-T weighs approximately 25 pounds. The only assembly required is that the base plate needs to be snapped together.
Is the rubber tee replaceable and does it split easily?
The tee can be replaced by twisting off the old tee and twisting on a new one. The rubber tee is made out of natural rubber not synthetic as many other tees are, and it seems to be holding up much longer.
How long does the battery last before it needs to be recharged?
If the tee is turned on and allowed to run constantly, the battery should last 4 to 5 hours before needing to be recharged. Depending on its use, the battery should last a year.
What kind of guarantee does the Quick-T have?
QHI Sports feels that the Quick-T is such a good training machine that it will make sure that the tee works properly for its customer. They are interested in customers telling others about how good the tee is, not that it is poorly made and won’t hold up. The original production prototypes have more than 650,000 cycles run on them and they are still running. Obviously, sooner or later, the battery and the rubber tee will need to be replaced.
