Which product is a better investment?
Horizontal Hitter
Vs.
Vertical Spinner
The BATACTION, SELF-TRAINER, hitting machine is a horizontal-action hitting machine. The patented Batction Machine
and its patented ancestors, the HIT2WIN TRAINER and the HITTING STICK TRAINER , stand alone in the market
place when it comes to rod-controlled, horizontal-action hitting devices.
Coach Nick Dixon pioneered this innovative concept in the late eighties. The products benefits have made it
one of the most popular youth coaching tools on the market today. It offers two distinct advantages over the many vertical-action
machines that you see frequently advertised.
You should closely review these two features because they are the two main reasons BATACTION MACHINE
OWNERS regularly out perform other hitters, game after game, season after season. The two advantages are:
1) ACCURATE FEEDBACK- When a hitter swings the bat, it is extremely important that he or she know the
quality of the swing. It is this feedback that allows the batter to self-evaluate and determine the level of performance.
If you swung the bat 100 times and regardless of the quality, power, and angle, of your swing, the ball went
up 100 times in a row, would you feel like a better hitter? If you dont think that sounds like much fun, stop to think, that
is exactly what you get from a vertical-loop apparatus. On a perfect swing the ball goes up. On a poor swing the ball goes
up. Wouldn't that get boring for you?
Could you tell how many line-drives, pop-ups, or groundballs you hit in those 100 swings. With the BATACTION,
SELF-TRAINER, machine, you can read your contact on every swing. You get instant feedback on every swing. There is no better
way to learn hitting. Plus, you'll never get bored seeing how many line-drives you can hit. The BATACTION, SELF-TRAINER, offers
fun practice, instant gratification, and true quality assessment. Youll never need anything more out of a hitting machine.
2)MAXIMUM TIME OF BAT-TO-BALL CONTACT-When you hit a baseball, the
longer your bat stays in contact with the ball, the better the swing feels. This bat-to-ball contact
time, an occurrence
that I like to call bang-time is what allows you to get that full sweet-spot sensation. I know you have heard what a hitter
often says when he experiences this sensation. He will smile and say, Man, that felt good! I got every bit of that ball with
that swing!
The BATACTION MACHINE allows you to get every bit, of every ball, on every swing. If you take a line-drive
swing, the ball will travel on a line-drive trajectory off your bat. You will get the full sensation of hitting a real line
drive. Only The BATACTION MACHINE, with its horizontally suspended ball, offers the batter this sensation in practice
swing.
The vertical-loop machines have a rope, cord, cable, string, or strap that restricts the balls movement off
the bat. The vertical connecting cable is going to jerk the ball upward and off the bat as you swing through the strike zone.
The cable stops the forward motion of the bat, every time. This cheats the hitter of the ability to judge his swing bang time
and prevents him from getting the great full-pull sensation of maximum bat-to-ball contact time. If you want to practice hitting
line drives and grounders, buy a machine that will allow you to do so. The BATACTION MACHINE is just such a machine!
A good coaching tool and practice machine allows you to see a little improvement each day as you
work and practice. You can only see improvement if you can self-evaluate your performances on a swing to swing basis. It is
that feedback that makes BATACTION
MACHINE owners such confidence hitters with high self esteems.
