You say....

"by training.......with the new angle adjustment feature a hitter will start to develop the type of swings that produce line drives, hard ground balls, and fly balls that carry."

So, I conclude that the original one couldn't do that. Many of us knew that. Yet you hyped it and sold it as the perfect swing trainer.

If you read between the lines, your contraption can be adjusted to allow a hitter to swing any way he wishes. So, no matter how he chooses to swing, your contraption can be adjusted to allow him to get good at it. Even if it's wrong.

Therefore, the "instruct" part of the name and description is really false advertising. With your device, the hitter still needs to have someone instruct him because your device won't help him learn any particular way.

You say....

"The Instructo-Swing 5000 can help a player develop a swing that will produce the type of results that are needed to become a great hitter."

Yes, it probably can. Just as a basketball goal gives the player something to shoot at, your T gives the player something to swing at. But, so does a regular batting T that you can buy for $30.

I get a chuckle thinking of a player and his dad adjusting the contraption until it fits the players existing swing.

Now that's what I call instruction.
