A former professional player who teaches in my area thinks it’s a great product. To me the product helps eliminate bat-head drop, one of the biggest problems for youth hitters.

Guys,

There is an updated version of the Instructo Swing. I was attending a coaches clinic this past weekend and saw it (I'm going to begin selling it). The improvement made was that now you can change the angle at which the bars are set. You can make them level or even to the point of an slight uppercut. I would never have endorsed it before but I believe, with this new addition (some of iy my idea) it can be a useful product.
