The Stayback
Tee is designed to teach and practice the rotational method of hitting
that can double bat speed. The Stayback Tee trains the hitter to keep
the weight coiled on the back leg and hip longer. This allows the hitter
to adjust to different pitches and maximize the power from leading with
hips and turning into the ball. Made of solid metal construction with
replaceable tee. Converts to left handed easily and adjusts to any size
player. Designed with a safe padded frame so it can be used on any
surface indoor or out. Breaks down in seconds, making it very portable.

Stayback
Tee vs. Ordinary Tee |
|
|
Figure 1:
When using a conventional
batting tee, players tend to lunge forward,
on top of their front leg. Hip rotation fails
to occur, and bat speed is greatly diminished.
|
|
|
Figure 2:
The resistor bar on the Stayback
Tee is set to the down position to act as a
conventional tee. Once again, the batter is
out on his front leg, generating power with
nothing but his arms. Stepping into the ball
in this manner gives the illusion of power.
|
|
 |
Figure 3:
With the resistor bar placed back in the normal position, the batters
front foot moves on its own in the stride, and the head and shoulders
stay back in a more centered position. The vertical rope (yellow
line) indicates that the swing axis stays behind the center line as
the batter approaches the hitting zone.

How to Use the Stayback Tee
|
 |
Figure 1:
Approach the Stayback Tee until your hip comes in contact with the
resistor bar pad. Your weight is now 50/50 and the head is on the center
axis. |
|
 |
Figure 2:
Load your back leg 70/30, placing your head
behind the center line. Only from this position can
one release the front foot and stride with very little
weight transfer.
|
|
 |
Figure 3: The
front foot moves on its own during the
stride, with the head, hands, and shoulders staying
back. From this position, the front foot lands soft,
the heel drops, and hip rotation initiates the swing |
|
 |
Figure 4:
Notice the head behind the center line and
the batter hitting against the stiff front side as the
back heel rolls up, indicating the hips leading the swing.
