The Rope Bat® is recommended for players of all ages and levels from tee ball to professionals. The grip ring indicator makes the Rope Bat® adjustable so the barrel will match the sweet spot of any sized bat.

The Rope Bat® teaches and reinforces proper hitting mechanics, and it is a great complement to working with a coach or hitting instructor. A coach or instructor can’t always be there, and the Rope Bat® ensures that independent practice time is effective and bad habits aren’t developed.

The Rope Bat® provides players with immediate feedback. They can see, feel and hear if they hit the ball with authority. If they don’t hit the ball with authority, they will self-correct. Through this instant feedback and cycle of self-correction, players develop confidence and ownership over their swing. View our Instructions for more details.

The Rope Bat® is the only swing trainer that addresses ALL aspects of the swing. Other swing trainers just focus on a specific component of the swing such as keeping hands inside the ball or improving bat speed.

Without correct swing mechanics, swinging with a regular bat will develop bad habits and muscle memory for incorrect swing mechanics. The Rope Bat® forces correct swing mechanics that will later transfer to the real bat swing.

The Rope Bat® can be used during team practice, instructional camps, batting cages, the backyard, the garage, the on-deck circle and even in the house.

The Rope Bat® was designed by Dr. Gary Long, a former professional player, coach and hitting instructor. His inspiration for developing the Rope Bat came from working with a struggling hitter. View our About Us page for the full Rope Bat Story.

The Rope Bat® can be used with a tee, soft toss from the side and overhand or underhand from the front. The Rope Bat® can be used in virtually any drill a real bat can be used with.

The Rope Bat® costs about the same as two private hitting lessons. If your player puts in the work with the Rope Bat®, it will completely transform their swing. How much is a good swing worth to you?
