The Softball Split Grip® Training Bat: 3 Trainers in 1 Bat

Most Tater® training bats are built around the baseball swing, but the TATER SOFTBALL™ Split Grip® Training Bat is made for softball hitters. It works on hand path, barrel control and bat speed, and it gives you three ways to train in one bat.

At a glance

What it trains

• Barrel control. Stay through the ball for consistent, hard contact.
• Bat speed. Build a faster swing with the right hand path.
• No rollovers. Keep the barrel on plane longer instead of rolling your top hand over early.

3 trainers in 1 bat

• Split grip training. Work your hands apart on the Split Grip® to feel what each hand is doing and build cleaner mechanics.
• Short bat work. Choke up for short bat reps that sharpen precision and barrel control.
• One-hand drills. Isolate each hand to strengthen hand path and balance.

Because it does all three, you don't have to switch bats in the middle of a session.

Where it fits in a hitting session

It's evenly balanced, so you can use it in every part of a session:

1. Tee work to lock in your hand path.
2. Soft toss to stay through the ball.
3. Live BP and machine work with real balls.

Pair it with our Tater® Foam Softball for pitching machine work. It's 6.5 oz, within regulation softball weight, so the reps feel like the real thing without the sting.

Picking a length

The trainer comes in 30" to 34", so it fits players from youth to college. Start with the length you swing in games.
