The Tru Toss Soft Toss machine is terrific in practice sessions and in pre-game drills. We use it so that the coach can focus on helping the hitter to correct issues with their baseball hitting technique rather than focus energy on conducting the drill and having to throw the ball. We think we also improve the saftey of the practice by not putting the coach or soft toss thrower close to the swinging bat or ricocheted ball flying off of a fence (we recommend using a net, not a fence). Click Here to read about the Soft Toss baseball drill in What is Soft Toss. Soft toss is a hitting drill that is performed in each of our practices, indoors or outside. It allows hitters to simply focus on having great hitting swing mechanics without having the need to focus on hitting the ball from a live pitch. It is amazing what can be accomplished through repetition of simply having your players perform a great swing time and again. Soft toss is the drill that allows them to do it. We have the coach stand about 15 feet behind the hitter and then at a side angle to get the best views of the swing. We also videotape some of the swing sessions so we can show the player what is good and which areas need improvement in their swing. We like to have soft toss swings, swings from a hitting tee and swings from live batting practice to compare so we can help the player to swing the same each time and in each situation. This machine is a great aid to us in evaluation of our player's swings.
Features:
The Soft Toss rebounder is strung like a tennis racket in a steel frame, the rebounder bounces the ball up into the hitting zone. You can change the angle with which the ball bounces into your soft toss hitting zone. Use more horizontal angle to bounce the ball to specific pitch locations. Add more vertical angle to do quick hitter drills by shooting the ball to the hitter faster. Opposite tightening knobs make adjustments quick and easy without having to retighten each time. The Tru Toss Soft Toss Machine is a great Soft Toss machine. Like other pitching machines, this soft toss pitching machine lets the coach work more with the hitter during drills. The unit is affordable enough so that every team can have one to help their hitting sessions. I recommend it for any baseball program.
