On the dolly, it is easy to roll it to wherever you set it up for practice. The bag and dolly need not be supported. I know my student’s swing needs work if they should knock it over.

is the heavy bag more useful than a batting tee? isnt the batting tee better because we can practice our hand-eye coordination of swinging?

thanks
