Great Tool. Great Quality., 02/15/2010

The quality of the product is really top notch. This is not a toy it is heavy duty and meant to take a beating. After putting it together my son was more than eager to start swinging away.

Quality Product, 02/15/2010

Definitely one of the better batting tees available today. Rugged and durable, well worth the money. Should last my 6 yr old for many years to come. Suggest that if you set it up in the basement to put tape on the floor to show your child where to put their feet and setup appropriately to the ball. Did this for both my 6 yr old and 3 yr old. After only a couple minutes for 2-3 times a week I've seen a dramatic improvement with their swings. Looking forward to ball season to see the improvement on the field.

Great Investment, 10/29/2009
By DadCoach, New Berlin, WI

Overall Rating: 5 out of 5


This is a great practice tool for little league on up... The person who complained that this did not work right, did not read the directions-- you have to grease the shaft in order for it to operate smoothly-- this is revealed in the instructions. My teams have used this for three seasons and it works really well. You can't beat the current price!

I purchased this for my 12 year old son and he loves it. He has been using it every day at least 2 hours per day and all the neighborhood kids have given it a try. My son's batting skills have improved greatly and he is looking forward to showing them off next season. Thanks for a great product.

Better than expected, 07/22/2009
By mtdewmountie, right here, WV

Overall Rating: 5 out of 5


I almost didn't purchase this aid as I thought it would be poorly built (not very heavy duty). Opened the package and put it together and found out right away that sombody put some thought into the design. Very nice piece of equipment and looks like it will hold up for years to come. My 8 yr old boy loves it as well as my 4 yr old daughter.

Great product overall, the only disappointment was the carrying case. Zipper broke first time I used it but the product is very nice over all and is a great tool for my two teams to practice and warm up

This product is AMAZING!!! My son has used this product for 15 minutes everyday & it has made a tremendous improvement in his hitting. I'm going to start bringing the SKLZ Hurricane Swing Trainer to every practice for the rest of the team to use. I've even started to use this product to help improve my game.

By bballfam

Overall Rating: 5 out of 5


This trainer was brought by a kid's dad the day of a major tourney our boy's team played in. The team put up 21 runs on the competition for that first game and then went on to run the bracket and win the tourney. I give much of the credit to the swing timing the kids developed from the short time on this trainer.

(Note Message From Nick Dixonin Response to This Review)


I purchased this item for my team during practice drills. The idea is great but the machine is not. Unfortunately when the batter takes a full swing, the rotating arm gets stuck on the return. Its looks as though the stretch bands that pull the rotating arm back to it's original position get jammed together. The machine is not perfected yet. It definitely needs to be reconstructed. It was a disappointment at any price. I Don’t Recommend this Product!

To be a golfer he should know the few primary elements like Grip, alignment, stance, posture and ball position to hit a golf shot. One can get better trainings on the golf lesson by the joining the camps organized by clubs, sports center or professionals. These lessons play a crucial role in playing the professional game.
