Description The Machine Smash Training Bat is the first-ever skinny barrel training bat engineered to withstand consistent high-velocity machine pitches with real baseballs. While other skinny training bats are limited to foam or plastic balls, this revolutionary tool – developed over 3 years – allows hitters to train with actual baseballs at game speeds. Our staff calls it “the holy grail” of training bats for a reason: it’s the only bat that lets you take real batting practice at machine velocities of up to 99mph. Extensively tested in our facilities with thousands of real baseball swings from elite professionals to developing prospects, the Machine Smash Training Bat has consistently impressed with its professional-grade construction and game-like feel. Its reinforced end cap, tested at speeds up to 140mph with real baseballs, delivers BBCOR-like feedback while eliminating the painful hand sting typically associated with machine practice. Unlike traditional skinny bats that would shatter under these conditions, the Machine Smash Training Bat stands up to thousands of actual baseball impacts. As one Driveline trainee said, “I like it even more than my game bat.” Enough said. Driveline Trainers put the Machine Smash Training Bat through vigorous testing over the last 3 years. Thousands of facility swings against real baseballs with feedback from the game’s best hitters Professional durability testing at 130-140mph Zero damage after hundreds of direct end cap impacts Rating of 5,000 high-speed baseball impacts
