Product Proposal of Instructional Baseball Equipment

In all sports today there are skill-enhancing tools used to perfect a certain

technique. Parents, coaches, and the players use these tools. The sport that uses such

tools the most is Baseball. Many do not know but baseball technique is broken down into

many steps, which allows for the production of many devices. Many of these products

are expensive and not mobile. Mobile meaning you can't bring to the field with you to

practice with. In doing research I found that parents feel baseball products today are

made for use with a professional and the kids were not able to practice with their parents

or friends. I decided to make a device that was simple and inexpensive so the average

Joe could purchase and use my product efficiently.

My company has thought long and hard about this problem. I felt we

needed a light, inexpensive, portable, and easy to use tool. I thought of the most common

device used in practicing baseball and came up with the tee. A good tee now a day's cost

$50-$70 and in made of a very heavy rubber. The tee also has multiple pegs to change

the location of the tee to work on hitting pitches in different locations. As one can see an

average parents would not know the purpose of those other pegs. I decided to make a tee

that would fill everyone's needs and that's when I came up with the "Hand Held Tee".

The Hand Held Tee is exactly what it sounds like, a tee that can be held in the hand of the

instructor. It is 8 ft. long one side with a handled grip the other side the shaft rounds out

into the shape of a baseball. The HHT will be used by instructor holding the stick in the

hitting zone allowing the hitter to strike the round end of the stick.

The stick made out of high quality rubber will merely shake a little. You don't have to go

pick up the ball or pick up the tee if is falls over. With the HHT the users get the best of

everything. The stick only weighs 6 pounds 8oz so its portable, and everyone can use it.

I kept it as simple as possible trying to make a product that is durable, and inexpensive

    Torque is another key ingredient to a good power hitter, or even a good hitter. Torque is the result of two forces being applied to an object in opposite directions. In this case the two forces are being applied from the hands and wrists onto the bat. As you start your swing, instead of moving your hands directly at the ball, you want your hands to start a rotation. The top hand begins to move backwards while the lead arm drives the end of the bat towards the ball. The torque invloved is created around the point of the bat that lies between your hands. This torque greatly accelerates the head of the bat which will have act with a greater force when (or if ) it comes into contact with the ball.

    First, take the golf tee and insert it into the ground with the needle-like bottom down. Then, place the golf ball on the platform of the tee. The tee should be set at a height of comfort for the golfer. The size of the driver head, or part that comes into contact with the ball during a swing, should be taken into consideration because the middle of the ball should be struck with the sweet spot, or middle of the clubface.

    When one throws a baseball properly they are using there entire body to generate a large force to propel the baseball. A general throwing position starts with a person rotated 90 degrees from there target with there throwing arm 180 degrees from the target and parallel to the ground. The person then starts rotating their body back towards their target while there throwing arm starts bending until it is almost 90 degrees to their elbow, while the arm is bending at the elbow the throwing arm is rotating such that the arm rotates back almost 180 degrees from the target. Meanwhile the person is leaping forward with the leg that was initially pointed at the target while there other leg is planted into the ground. The person is bending at their waist and the other arm is rotating into their body. Around the point where the driving leg strikes the ground the throwing arm is rotating foreword at a tremendous angular speed and the person lets go of the ball. At the point where the ball is let go the persons body pulls the planted leg forward and the throwing arm finishes its motion towards the driving leg.

    Hitting a baseball is a task that is learned through trial and error, which makes changing a batter’s swing extremely difficult. Once that batter finds their comfort zone and makes contact they will do the same thing until it fails them once again. Perfecting the mechanics of that swing won’t create an exceptional hitter, but it will create a swing that consistently incr...

    Though the sport is based mostly in talent, or how the athlete utilizes these tools, equipment is critical for the performance of the athlete. Athletes seek bats that will increase their probability for a home run, maximize their hitting power, decrease the amount of energy loss in the collision for a greater ball velocity, and allow for a quicker swing, seeing as these factors are crucial to the success of their careers. Decades and decades of testing and experimentation have gotten the baseball bat to where it is. It first started as a simple plank, but with the growing popularity of the sport along...

    One of the first skills a future softball player learns is how to properly hold a bat. Though they are young and cannot follow much direction, this is the time when their skills first begin. The type of hit that results is dependent on the angle and amount of force the player uses. The softball will pop up high, and sometimes far, when the bat swings in an upward motion. Swinging the bat very straight, along with using a great deal of force, creates what is known as a “line drive” hit. Learning how to swing the bat is only a portion of the skills a player learns at a young age. Having the proper stance is a necessary tool in having an appropriate amount of power for the softball player to hit the ball. Even though it is the player’s arms that hold the bat, it is the player’s legs that allow her to push the ball far. Another important factor is the batter’s grip. The batter must understand how hard to hold onto her bat as she swings, especially when considering the different possibilities of the pitches that can come. If her grip is too strong and her wrist too locked, it will be very difficult for the batter to swing the bat at a hard, swift angle. The bat will be uncomfortable in her hands, and will cause the batter to almost chop at the ball, as if she were holding an ax. Because of this, the player will not have any strength in her swing and, in turn, she will not have any strength in her hit. The
