    Hit Zone Standard Model HZ-1B
    This is a great unit for younger players up through adults. If you have a kids that range in age from young to teens,
    this is a good unit to cover all the bases. The ball might float a little too high for real young kids, but for taller 5-7 years olds,
    you should be fine. You can also use a little heavier ball for young kids since it will float lower.
    Although this unit has a fixed speed, you can vary the height and the look of the "pitch" a few different ways. It comes
    with a 9" sleeve, but we will also include a bonus 14.5 inch sleeve. This makes it easy to practice at a couple of different
    heights. We also recommend that you have a few different types of balls in your practice bucket. Depending on the type
    of ball and the weight, they will float at different heights and also react a little differently.
    Lastly, you can experiment with how you put the ball onto the Hit Zone. You can drop it down into the air and it will bounce
    up and down, you can put a spin on it, or you can place it into the air stream with no spin for a knuckle ball effect.
    The Standard unit weighs about 7 pounds and easily fits into an equipment bag, making it easy to bring to the park, a friends|
    home, or the cabin. You just need to be able to plug it in to a 110V outlet. Be sure to use a GFI protected outlet outdoors.
    Tee Practice Can Be Fun!
    ​After T-Ball, players often feel they've graduated from the "tee".
    Our revolutionary new air tee puts the fun back into practice!  The ball floating in mid air creates a fun challenge for them.
    The ball spins and moves a little, creating the look and feel of a real pitch.
    Set up a net in the backyard or basement during the winter and your player will have fun practicing for hours and hours!
    What Type Of Balls Can I use?
    A number of lighter weight training balls work great on the Hit Zone Standard!
    ​In addition to the dozen high quality dimpled training balls that come with your Hit Zone, it's a great idea to have a bucket
    and include a wide variety of balls.  Balls of different sizes and weights will all react a little differently on the Hit Zone.
    Your player will need to keep their eye on the ball and stay focused or they might just miss the ball. No more just going
    through the motions like they typically do on the standard tee!
    Testimonials
    “I was introduced to the Hit Zone a few years back.  Even then I was intrigued about the benefits of
    having a ball in mid-air as opposed to sitting on a tee.  I have started to use Hit Zone with my son
    and other kids on his team.  Because the ball is moving and spinning, the focus required allows for
    a more realistic practice session.  One of the biggest benefits that I have seen is being able to see
    the "whole" ball.  By being able to see the whole ball it gives the batter the correct part of the ball
    to hit without the fear of hitting a tee.  I strongly encourage you to try out Hit Zone for you to realize
    your own benefits.”

    “The Hit Zone is one of the best training tools for hitters that I have used during my coaching career. |
    Your eyes play a pivotal role in hitting and using the Hit Zone assists in this process. It forces the hitter
    to focus on the moving ball, creating a more realistic drill.
    Chris McKnight
    Former Collegiate Head Coach, VP of Baseball, Tuckahoe Sports Inc.
    "The Hit Zone is a revolutionary
    invention
    that will help hitters of all ages create and maintain good
    swing habits. I highly recommend it!"
    Raul Ibanez
    Former Pro Baseball Slugger

    "My son Elijah works hard at his game and has increased his skills with the Hit Zone."
    Frankie Rodriguez
    Former MLB Pitcher
    "I can not thank you enough for what the Hit Zone has done and is doing for my 2 high school boys and for my
    traveling team.  The look in the players eyes says it all.  They are being challenged and are having fun at the
    same time.  The level of concentration is raised along with the players eye hand coordination. The Hit Zone is a
    great developmental hitting tool for all ages.  Players just flock to it as soon as we turn it on."
    Don Gaylord
    Eagan Traveling Baseball Coach
    "The Hit Zone has put the fun in fundamentals.  My son was already tired of hitting off an old fashion tee.
    Now it's an exciting part of our daily routine.  Not only is it a serious training tool, but it is also a fun family
    activity for us.  It has been the best investment we have made in our son's baseball future.  Money well spent!"
