    Short Stroke Trainer (hitter training device)

    (made by Diamond City Baseball, Inc., eastern NC near Williamston)


    I no longer have a need for this training device; my child has aged out of ball. See picture below. Used item but in very good condition.


    This training device is for hitting; baseball or softball. Will help you learn a proper and proven hitting technique, eliminating wasted motion. Heavy duty steel constructed frame is fully adjustable. Includes two curved hitting trainer tracks (#2 for players up to 5' tall and #4 for players up to 6' tall). Adjustable hitting tee attached to the frame. Delivery may be available, (if located within a reasonable distance).
    PLEASE send me a PM if interested in this equipment. Located near the Clayton / Garner / Benson area, SE of Raleigh.

    Used it with my program for seve years and DOES work! However, the rubber tubing in which you place the ball often takes a beating and needs replacing, correct?

    Makes me think... when my boy was around 9 or 10 I got him one of those "Griffey Trainers". A friend of mine, who's son was in high school at the time, came over and looked at it. He said "Hell, I can make one of them things!". They went to cuttin' and gluing PVC pipe. Got the thing all put togather and it was ready to be tested. Second swing and... well, put it this way, you can still find little pieces of PVC out in the woods around their house!
