SET-UP and USAGE INSTRUCTIONS


1.  Prior to set-up, visually inspect The Hitting Trainer for possible damage and/or excessive wear.  Be sure to have any damaged or excessively worn part properly repaired/replaced before continued use.

2.  Locate a cyclone or chain-link fence which is in good condition.

3.  Find an area on the chain-link fence which is:

  • Far enough away from fans and other players and

  • Is properly secured to vertical and horizontal posts at regular intervals

4.  Set the U-foot of the Hitting Trainer into the chain-link fence with the prongs set horizontally across a joint connection in the fence.

  • For individual use, U-foot installation should roughly be chest high of the batter so that the ball will be hang about waist high.

  • If several batters, or the entire team, will be cycling through U-foot installation should roughly be at the average chest height of the various batters. 

5.  Attach the carabiners of the top 2 cables approximately 90 degrees apart, each roughly 45 degrees left and right of vertical (imagine a wide V). The carabiners should be clamped at a point where the chain links are overlapping and The Hitting Trainer pole is pointed straight out from the fence (not leaning up or down, nor left or right).

6.  Finally attach the lower two cables in a similar way as the top but along the fence below The Hitting Trainer pole.  These cables should not be pulled too tight, but enough so the U-foot remains engaged to the fence.
7.  Before taking your first and each successive swing, be sure that there are no bystanders within your swing path so as to safely complete your swing without striking anyone.
8. Whenever you are done practicing, disassembly is simply the opposite of set-up.
