Answer a question,
>
> Recently I saw a team practing with a ball attached to a rope about 12 or 15 feet long. The coach got the ball moveing and the hitter tried to hit it. Seemed like it might be a useful tool.
>
> Has any one used one of these things? Are the helpful? Is there a down side? What is it?
>
> Jombo Riley I use to try it years ago but it was tough to get the right distancs away and usually came in like a tetherball on a rope,not realistic but it is moving and okay for hand eye coordination if you don't hurt the guy swinging the rope.
