As advertised, this is a great aid to provide instant feedback on a batter's swing. I've used it with my daughter and others on the High School Travel team I coach. It takes a little getting used to initially to afix to the arm, but then afterwards is very easy. The videos on the product site were very helpful. The hitter will need to have patience with it. Start with half speed swiings and graduallly work up to full swings on a tee. Set goals like getting 1 good swing out of 10, then 2 out of 10, and so on. Then move to 3/4 speed swings once the batter can get 7 or 8 our 10 at half speed. This may take a while so be patient. It's a process. It will not fix a swing overnight. Like any skill, it will take lots of repetition to build the muscle memory but this is an inexpensive tool to help do that. I have it as one of our team warm up stations before every game and during our batting practices. While this may be helpful for younger players, I think it will work best for 12 and up due to the patience required to not get burnt out on it initiallly when the feedback is mostly "negative" because it highlights a batter's swing flaws. But as you stick with it, and began to get more and more "good" swings it helps positively reinforce the good swing characteristics.Read full review

I help coach my son's little league baseball team. And after an hr my son finaly got it working. But what the maker dosnt explain and I had to figure out on my own is that you have to adjust the arm band to the size needed for the kid using it... that makes it frustrating and take alot of time.. said from my son not even a nothe coach could figure out how to use it. Even after we all sat down and watched all 4 videos on how to use the swingrail. Witch only show then already on and not how to adjust the the player.. for the mony I payed it's not worth it but I'll stick with it..

Bought for 8 year old son to practice. First tried myself to see the feedback. Watched the videos on YouTube and found them useful. First dozen swings took a minute to get placement of straps correct and to get my swing correct. After the adjustments I was able to tell I was working different muscles to get the swing path corrected, especially in the lower half which I am sure was the purpose of the device that gives very immediate feedback if your hands aren’t kept back and short to the ball. Son was disgorged at first but given Dad’s shortcomings, kept trying. I would recommend for any age. Velcro and stitching are excellent quality and will fit any variety of bat.

A bit awkward to start, but it definitely keeps your arm tucked inside. Once you get a feel for what it's trying to do, you can control your swing to match the process, which is what it was designed to do. Limited use so far, but should be good at developing inside muscle memory. The strap could be made a little larger to accommodate extra large arms.

My little league team literally went from worst to first. We had won Zero, Zilch, No games until I found this Swing trainer. With nothing to lose I bought a few and started to use during batting practice. The results were almost immediate. We finished the summer by winning our league title and a regional tournament. I guarantee Everyone on my team will have one at the beginning of next season. I am now going order for my daughters traveling softball team as well as for myself to "train" for rec league. I can't wait to enjoy results.
