Introducing the Axe 30" Youth Power 2-5/8" Training Bat, perfect for youth hitters swinging 29- to 31-inch bats. This expertly designed bat features a +5oz weighted training Axe Puck Knob and is made with a durable alloy, weighing 30 ounces. Improve your swing mechanics and develop muscle memory with the Power Trainer, which is heavy enough to help, but light enough to avoid compromising your swing. Don't swing worse with a bat that's too heavy - fix it with the Power Trainer. Better design and bigger improvementThe Power Trainer's design focuses on an optimal Moment of Inertia (MOI), allowing for a 20% increase in MOI compared to the actual swing weights of game bats. Other heavy bats put excessive weight above the hands which negatively prohibits long-term bat speed growth and develops swing path. Axe's design puts 22% of the weight below the hands in its weighted training Puck Knob. This allows hitters to get all the benefits of power training while still helping hitters swing faster and not hurt swing mechanics' development. Strength trainingThe Power Trainer strengthens the muscles used in swinging, notably in the hands, forearms, shoulders, and core. This enhanced muscle strength translates directly into more powerful hits as you're able to generate greater force upon contact with the ball. Because of the perfectly added weight, the Power Trainer develops functional strength and trains the body to move more efficiently better than any other on the market. Enhanced bat speedBat speed training is all about learning to turn your body faster. The faster you can train your body, the faster your body will learn to swing in a game. One mph of bat speed increase = 7 feet of additional hit distance. By training with the Power Trainer, which is intentionally heavier in specific areas, players learn to swing faster and maintain control. The body adapts to the effort required to swing the heavier Power Trainer bat, so when the player switches back to a standard bat, they can swing it faster with the same amount of effort. Training versatilityThe Power Trainer is designed for both on-field hitting practice and off-field strength training, making it the most versatile tool in a player's development arsenal. Crafted to withstand the rigors of intense training sessions, the Power Trainer boasts a robust construction. Its one-piece alloy and composite design ensure strength and durability, making it a reliable tool for long-term development. Works with all Instant feedbackThe unique design offers instant feedback on swings. If a player doesn't swing correctly, the bat's weight distribution makes it challenging to control, encouraging quick adjustments and fostering a quicker learning curve. Works with all ball typesBaseballs, softballs, bomb balls, etc. The Power Trainer is designed to hit any game ball or training ball you want to hit with.
