The premise behind hit-a-way is fine: hit the ball hard enough that it wraps around the pole tightly, let it unwind, and then hit it again as it comes around. It looks great in the video. Real life - not so much.
We tried to use this a couple of years ago with a group of 7-8 year-olds. My observations:
1) Young hitters, probably up to at least age 10, can't reliably hit the ball hard enough to get it to wrap around the pole. You end up needing an adult to re-wrap the cable and "launch" the ball. This greatly reduces the repetitions and the usefulness.
2) Poles are harder to find than you might think on a baseball field. You basically need either a basketball goal or you need to buy the "portable" pole ... Read More:

I have to say I enjoy wearing this jock. As a previous review said, the pouch is a bit larger than most, but I don't think that takes away from its function. The waistband and leg straps are high quality, I love the lift my butt gets from the wide straps. The pouch is soft and comfortable to wear all day. I feel it supports well for what I wear a jock for.
I will admit that it took a couple runs throught he launrdy to soften it up, but once its washed it feels very comfortable.
I purchased this item at my local retail for $[...], so look around and save some money.

This bag has plenty of room for a complete set of catcher's gear and other softball equipment. It rolls smoothly and has a couple of outside pockets for storage. Only drawback (for us) is that there are not any additional compartments to keep gloves or other equipment separate. These items became very dirty due to the catching equipment being dirty. Otherwise, great bag.

Zip n hit is a great product! Every summer my ten year old sons hitting gets messed up. He is a good baseball hitter but summer camp underhand softball,nintendo wii and tennis racket baseball really have adverse affects on his "eye" It takes a lot of work to correct his hitting. I saw a coach using a zip n hit pro with his son and it got my attention so I purchased one.I own alot of baseball training equipment and in no time this simple device got my sons hitting back!! You can concentrate on consistent location and speed.The zip n hit is fun and you can do some silly things with it to make practice more interesting. Kids have a blast.My only complaint is the the strings do not last very long but you can purchase extras.
My son wanted this more than anything else this Christmas. In fact, it was the only thing on his list for months. His Aunts purchased it for him and he was so excited when he opened it and so disappointed when it did not fit (judging by the size chart it should have). The vendor has informed me that since this item is "customized" it cannot be returned or exchanged. The quality of the item is ok but since the customization is the name and number of a professional baseball player and you can purchase this exact item from other internet sources for less I would say that by "customized" they must mean that you can get poor customer service for this overpriced jersey. Bah humbug!!

Ordered from Longstreth Women's Sports and they cancelled it, saying it is NOT for a dozen (despite the 20.00 dozen list price and the 1.6 pound weight for shipping a dozen). After placed order through Amazon, the company called and cancelled. Amazon needs work on their customer support, as they care little about what/how 3rd party sellers advertise or follow through with online sales.
