home made quick swing

This is my version of the quick swing Mauer hitting machine. I used 4" pvc pipes but you probably want to use the lighter material ones, this one ended up almost too heavy for the microphone pole I had. If you go to home depot get the green pipes, they are lighter. Or for an extra 20 bucks just buy the Joe Mauer one... I probably should'a just done that.

The cheapest Mauer one costs something like $50. Do you recommend just buying one?

I could use something like this for the kids - tired of being worried about them getting smacked in the face when the older kids hit the ball....plus nobody can pitch constant enough!

@HaywoodUdume I recommend just buying the Mauer machine. The biggest problem of building your own is coming up with the stand, the tubing is no problem but the stand is difficult to figure out. Given that you won't save that much money you are probably better off by just buying the machine made. Younger kids don't like it as much as older kids, but I can testify for the benefits of using it. Hips rotation and hand speed makes all the difference.

@CreeateAccount Yes be anonymous and disrespectful, it shows what kind of a person you are. I feel sorry for you that you have to make a comment like that to feel better about yourself.

that's good to train him with a small diameter bat and smaller balls.
