Corkball - Baseball Hitting Aid Commercial

What are Corkballs?
Corkballs are designed to improve a baseball player's hitting skills.
Here's how:

Their shape allows the Corkball to dip, curve, and dive when thrown to
the hitter. The flight of the Corkball combined with its small size will
sharpen the hitter's concentration level and hitting skills.

Players love to hit Corkballs. Corkballs are the most exciting hitting
device on the market. They sound just like a real baseball when
struck with a bat. Therefore, players will use Corkballs often, thus
becoming better hitters.




Additional Corkball Bullet Points

Corkballs can be used for indoor training during winter months.

Corkballs are virtually indestructible and can be used on wet field
conditions when traditional baseballs can not be spared for batting
practice.

Corkballs only travel around 100 feet making them ideal for small
playing fields and backyard use.

Corkballs sound just like a real baseball when hit, making batting
practice more enjoyable.

Corkballs can be hit with a traditional baseball bat or a broom stick
type bat.

Corkballs can be thrown straight, or made to curve, dip and dive,
simply by gripping the Corkball in various positions.


High School and College Coaches - CORKBALLS are convenient for
indoors use when hitting outside is impossible. It is a great hitting tool that
can be used in your school gym when the batting cage is not available, or set
up both a CORKBALL and batting machine stations. CORKBALLS are also
great for ball toss. Use the Corkball bat and make hitting even more of a
challenge. In short, CORKBALLS are a great baseball training device for
high school and college ballplayers.

Little League Coaches - CORKBALLS are great when there is no field to
take pre-game batting practice. Simply go out into the outfield and give your
team the pre-game swings they need. Since the average 10-12 year old
players can hit the cork approximately 75 feet, very little room is required to
hit CORKBALLS. CORKBALLS are perfect when the field is wet and you
don't want to ruin your baseballs. Water will not damage or affect
CORKBALLS.

""When I was a kid, the greatest backyard baseball game my brother and I
played every day was a form of corkball - we wrapped tape around a cork.
The problem was the tape would get wet and ruin, and the weight always
varied, making our 'ball' very inconsistent to throw and hit. With Corkball, the
balls are all the same and the PVC leather is virtually indestructible. Without
a doubt playing Corkball helped us improve as hitters and it was loads of
fun." - L. Blanco, former New York Yankees minor league catcher.

Droping the hands much jezZ this probably teaches you how to improve your sac fly's more than anything

The cork ball played in St. Louis is different than the one played in down south. The one you played is cool and you guys are definately the investors of that cork ball. The one played in West Tampa was different. Biggest difference was that it was played with either a wine cork or a cork plug (plumbing) and taped.

[Bucfever40]

No, never said West Tampa is the originator of cork ball, I was simply pointing out the advantages it provides to those who play baseball, and incidentally the rich baseball talent that comes out of this area, there's really too many to list here, but never said anything about it being exclusive to WT. By the way, do you recall Post 248 American Legion?

[Martideybor]

Bucfever this is different than what you and I played in West Tampa. The way we played there was more movement on the cork than what you see in this video. That's what made corkball such a fun sport, between the drop, curve, slider and straight fast ball it had to make you a better hitter. Ala Wade Boggs, Gary Sheffield, Steve Garvey and Carl Everett. Just cause they didn't come out of West Tampa doesn't mean they didn't play cork ball either.

[Bucfever40]

I was born and raised in West Tampa and played corkball all the time as most of my friends, only we would use a broom stick for the bat, being able to hit a corkball with a broomstick gave West Tampa and MLB some great hitters like Fred McGriff, Tino Martinez, Louis Gonzalez,Lou Piniella,Dave Magadan and many more.  It's a great game that does develope excellent hand eye batting technique, period!
