The ProHammer baseball training bat is designed for use by advanced players and is being tested and used by selected professional and Division 1 power hitters.
While it is true that all game bats have a cylindrical hitting surface with potentially unlimited points of contact, the reality is that the best pro hitters consistently make ball contact along the narrow "edge grain" area of the barrel. They do this for two important reasons:
1) The edge grain represents the strongest area of a wood bat. Ball contact along the edge grain results in more hits and fewer broken bats.
2) More power and better ball control. Pro hitters train their wrists to bring the edge grain to the baseball regardless of where in the strike zone the ball is. Power, bat speed, and ball control diminish quickly as the wrists "roll" the edge grain away from contact.
The ProHammer is configured to provide narrow contact surfaces, rapidly training the hitter to not "roll" his wrists through the hitting zone. The narrow contact surfaces have a diameter, length, and curvature that is otherwise identical to a conventional wood bat...only the portion you don't need has been removed.
Tests have shown significant improvements in the following areas:
- ball exit trajectory (more line drives)
- power (optimum wrist control)
- ball control (hit to the power alleys)
- batting eye (improved focus)
- confidence with game bat
- Bat path (shortest path to the ball)
Designed and built to hit real baseballs, the ProHammer is manufactured using top-grade materials. The alloy hitting face does not "ping" but instead produces a sound similar to a professional wood bat when striking a baseball. ProHammer bats are balanced and weighted similarly to professional wood bats and are available in the following "minus-3" swing equivalents:
Custom swing equivalents are available upon request.
The ProHammer is ideal for use in standard pro-style hitting drills, including tee-work, flips, front-toss, and thrown BP. It is recommended that a player switch to a game bat for hard machine pitch or hard live BP.
The ProHammer baseball training bat is a serious tool and with proper care will provide years of service.
If you are a young college-bound player, why spend all of your money on an expensive, thin-walled game bat that masks your swing errors, is worn out after a single season, and leaves you unprepared for wood bat competition? Perfect your swing by training with a ProHammer and be ready to swing any game bat with authority.
If you are a professional, you are always looking for ways to refine your stroke. Perhaps you want to reduce roll-overs, pop-ups, or just find that perfect path to the ball. The ProHammer is the ideal off-season and pre-season workout tool that allows you to gain command of your strike zone.
