Easton Junior Playback Elite

Childrens Toy Shop > Sporting Goods > Training Aids
from: Easton

September 15, 2007
My son plays with this for hours. It was easy to set up, and seems to be very stable. We haven't had it for very long, and put it in the shed when he's not using it, so I can't attest to overall durability. But, I do know we had one of the cheaper ones that didn't perform even close to as well as this one....no contest.

Would definitely recommend this product to anyone.

Derek Jeter Hurricane Batting Trainer

Childrens Toy Shop > Sporting Goods > Training Aids
from: Pro Performance

October 15, 2006
My son lives for baseball and needs to improve his hitting skills. He's 12 and has a real passion for the sport. We purchased the Hurricane trainer and it did work, that is until the power cords snapped after about a month. Granted, my son hit it about 150-200 times a day in that month, but still for the money, we thought it would get him through at least one season. Where and how can I get more cords??

Disappointed in Ohio

Roger Clemens Pitching Trainer Baseball

Childrens Toy Shop > Sporting Goods > Training Aids
from: Markwort


This arrived very quickly and in perfect condition. It is necessary to read the instructions that come with the ball before knowing how to use it properly. Hang onto the instructions!
Only 4 stars because it isn't always clear which fingers to place on the colors. Sometimes knowing where to place the thumb is confusing.
Overall, neat idea for a product.

Pro Performance Hit A Way Pole (For Use with Hit-A-Way Trainers)

Childrens Toy Shop > Sporting Goods > Training Aids
from: Pro Performance Sports


The design and quality of the pole are both top notch. I get a good workout on my swing. My 6 year old little leaguer has trouble keeping the ball going, but my 8 year old softballer can keep it going a few times, enough to get a good workout while I'm there to help. The secret is ball height, and wrapping the bottom cable a couple of times to lower the angle.

A+ for adults and pre-teens, B+ for the younger kids (under 10).

ATEC Pro Pitcher's Practice Screen with Stand

Childrens Toy Shop > Sporting Goods > Training Aids
from: ATEC


Very solid and durable, even as I repeatedly pitch into the frame(yes my command is horrible). I'm docking it a star because the one I ordered did not come with a pocket that collects all balls that hit the net, but just the strikes.

Fisher-Price Better Batter Baseball

Childrens Toy Shop > Sporting Goods > Training Aids
from: Fisher Price


My 4 yr old and my 2 year old love this toy! We've been using it frequently for about 4 months now and every portion of this stand and arm has been hit numerous times (hard) and it is still going strong! True, the arm has been hit off (it snaps back on without a problem) and sometimes the ball attaches to the arm and is difficult to hit off (then I just remove the ball by hand and re-attach it with a lighter touch), but overall this is great. I would buy this again and I would buy this as a gift for kids ages 2-5. At this point, ours is out of commission due to the fact that the three balls it came with have been lost (not destroyed). My kids are looking forward to when the replacement balls arrive in the mail so they can "Batter up!"

Rawlings Multi-Sport Training Net (10' X 7' X 5')

Childrens Toy Shop > Sporting Goods > Training Aids
from: Rawlings

Very good training net and you can't beat the price. Only drawback which is not really critical, is the overlay net does not stay up very well. Small bungee cord will do the trick, tho. My four year old uses this in our basement and it has helped his swing tremendously. He hits about 10 balls a day and throws into the net... it's well worth it.
