I have used the Accubat Pro Model at 3 practices now for my select 10-U players and my AAA Little league players. All the other coaches are now want one - they all want to keep borrowing mine. Learning how to use it did not take much time (about 10 minutes and I had it mastered). Fly balls are a cinch and grounders are even easier. The secret is to hold the ball like a badminton birdie - don't throw the ball up in the air and try to hit it. Flyball sweet-spot is 30-45 yards (measured out on our football field). If you want to hit it all the way to a major league wall...it isn't going to happen. I have only used it with youth regulation little league hard balls. If you are going to hit a lot of balls at one practice, I recommend wearing a batting or golf glove on the hand you are holding the Accubat with.

What a great tool. Hitting pop ups to the kids can be nervewracking. Using this tool we are able to be more efficient in our practice time since we can be more accurate and get more reps in with the boys. You do lose the crack of the bat so moving on the ball isn't exactly the same, but for working on fundamentals of fielding fly balls this thing is invaluable. It is a little on the pricey side but if you are planning on coaching more than a couple seasons it is worth the investment. My boys love it.

I bought this because I'm not very good hitting pop flies with a regular bat - at least in terms of positioning the ball. I also find it difficult to do it with a glove. This is a life changer! Took my 10 year old son for some pop fly practices and the accu bat made is 1000 times better. Not only was it more efficient, it was more fun! Parents were stopping me to ask where I got it. It's a must for anyone training a young baseball player.

I love this tool. it is a bit heavier than expected but it really does a nice job of allowing the user to accurately and consistently hit fly balls, ground balls, or line drives to any part of the field while not exhausting you fully swinging a bat.

This may be my favorite purchase this year. I coach a girl's 12u softball team. While I am a good coach, I am terrible trying to throw the ball in the air and hit it with a bat and put it where I want it to go. And even worse at trying to throw the balls up for pops. Accubat fixes those problems. It lets me hit great pop-ups to the girls and even great grounders as well. They key to using it for pop-ups is to think of hitting more like badminton rather than softball or tennis. I got the heavier one for use with softballs and after 6 weeks or so, it's shown no sign of wear. To me it's not really that heavy, but you do have to have strong wrists / good wrist control to keep it straight when you hit. This is a great product and is saving my arm and making practices more fun.

It really help my son with reading the ball off the bat. I get more reps in because i am not swinging and missing or hitting it on the ground. I highly recommend this product.

I am terrible at hitting with a softball bat with my daughter to practice fly-balls. This took a little learning, but I could place the balls high up and anywhere on the field. We use it at every practice and it seems to be holding up.

This has saved my shoulder from falling off! Instead of throwing a zillion popups to my boys, I just launch them.
