Bat-Ax is a baseball hitting aid that is a simple and effective way to help promote a proper grip for hitting. The key to a good swing starts by using your hands in the most effective way to grip the bat. A proper batting grip is a lot like the ones used when swinging an axe; allowing the fingers to hold the handle and not the palms of the hands - like swinging an axe! This baseball training aid teaches and then forces a player how to grip the bat properly allowing for better swing mechanics and better results. Simply place the Bat Ax on your bat handle; your hands will automatically be aligned into a proper grip position. Bat Ax is available in youth and adult sizes. This tool is an easy to use and affordable way to properly teach the concepts of baseball batting techniques. I have included one in each player's bat bags for years.
