What it does
A kids batting tee set that starts as a hanging ball trainer and converts to a traditional height adjustable tee, with a plastic bat and four balls. This page covers it in place of the Ninja Blast tee ball set, which had too little readable coverage.
- Hanging arm holds a ball in place with self stick covers, so young kids can hit without resetting the ball
- Converts to a standard tee once a child is ready
- Height adjusts in both modes as a child grows
- Comes with a bat and balls, so nothing else is needed to start
A sound first tee for a preschooler who is just learning to swing, because the hanging ball mode makes early contact easier and the traditional tee extends its life. The included bat and balls are trainer grade, and kids who already hit well off a tee may outgrow it quickly.
