Can anyone give me their thoughts on the "hit-a-way" device. It is
the batting exercise that works kind of like a teather ball. After
you hit the ball it wraps around the pole then unwraps and you hit
it again. If any of you have tried one, please let me know what
you thought of it.

My 9 year old son is interested in this, but it doesn't seem to be
practical for the reasons stated above. He wants something
that he can practive hitting with when I can't take him to the park.
