Pro Hammer Training Bats

The PY ProHammer is a swing training bat whose usable hitting surface has been reduced, leaving only the zone which pro hitters and coaches regard as the prime area for contact; the narrow edge grain found on all pro wood bats. The narrow hitting surface of the PY ProHammer demands increased skill by the hitter in order to make consistent contact with the baseball, improving both hand-eye coordination AND wrist control. All of the relevant physical attributes of the PY ProHammer are similar to a standard 30.5-inch, 23 oz. wood game bat (including sweet spot location), giving it a swing-feel that is familiar and reassuring to the hitter.

Read what these experts say about ProHammer:

"I wanted to give you some feedback on your Pro-hammer training bat. I have given one to our 14 and 15 year old teams in our Norcal baseball program along with Ohlone College (top 10 JC in the country) and East Cobb Baseball (top youth baseball program in the country). The reviews I’m getting back are tremendous. The feedback you get from the Pro-hammer is immediate!

We love how the Pro-hammer teaches you the proper bat-path and bat angle. The solid feel you get when you hit the ball properly with the Pro-hammer reinforces the perfect swing. Conversely, the vibrating feel when you have the wrong bat path teaches you how to find the correct one! The great thing is that this training aid grooves a professional swing- one that will hold up against all levels of pitching.

Jamal, I can’t thank you enough for introducing us to the Pro-hammer. It is a tool we use every day at practice or before a game. It is THE best hitting training aid I’ve seen in over 25+ years of coaching baseball."

- Rob Bruno - NorCal Baseball GM

"Developing a powerful and precise swing is fundamental to better hitting performance. The ProHammer's balanced design allows the hitter to hone his swing at game speed while hitting real baseballs. The unique shape of the barrel will instantly tell the hitter whether each swing is off-sweet-spot, rolled-over, or absolutely perfect. A true development tool for hard-working players, the ProHammer is simply the best."

- Troy Tulowitzki, Colorado Rockies Shortstop

"Hey Jamal,
I really like it. It promotes a solid contact point with the palm up/down position, increases hand/eye coordination, and has a great feel when you hit the ball right. It is quite the engineering marvel. I was surprised at how realistic the ball feels off of the pro hammer when you put a proper swing together! All the best and thank you!"

- Kash Beauchamp, Manager, Coach, Trainer, former Pro Outfielder

The ProHammer can help ball players at all skill levels enhance their swing through improved path-to-the ball. The ProHammer’s reduced hitting surface is designed to eliminate wrist roll at contact and under-cutting of the ball, which often results in weak ground balls and pop-ups that are easily fielded. By providing a narrow hitting surface (bat barrel), it gives quick and efficient feedback to the hitter, letting him know that he has found the “edge grain” of the bat. Additionally, the unique shape of the barrel trains the hitter to correct and refine his path to the ball, resulting in more line-drives into fair territory.

Built to stand up to rugged use, the ProHammer takes hitting drills to extreme levels of precision and performance by combining all of the important attributes that make a full-size game bat feel and swing the way it does: total weight, center of gravity, sweet-spot location, hitting surface position and curvature.

The ProHammer is rapidly becoming recognized by hitting experts as a powerful training tool for serious programs and dedicated players. Whether your players swing wood, metal, or composite, all hitters WILL improve their performance by developing strong, efficient wrist action and a precise swing path. Take hitting drills to the next level with the ProHammer!

The ProHammer baseball training bat is designed for use by advanced players and is being tested and used by selected professional and Division 1 power hitters.

While it is true that all game bats have a cylindrical hitting surface with potentially unlimited points of contact, the reality is that the best pro hitters consistently make ball contact along the narrow "edge grain" area of the barrel. They do this for two important reasons:

1) The edge grain represents the strongest area of a wood bat. Ball contact along the edge grain results in more hits and fewer broken bats.

2) More power and better ball control. Pro hitters train their wrists to bring the edge grain to the baseball regardless of where in the strike zone the ball is. Power, bat speed, and ball control diminish quickly as the wrists "roll" the edge grain away from contact.

The ProHammer is configured to provide narrow contact surfaces, rapidly training the hitter to not "roll" his wrists through the hitting zone. The narrow contact surfaces have a diameter, length, and curvature that is otherwise identical to a conventional wood bat...only the portion you don't need has been removed.

Tests have shown significant improvements in the following areas:

Designed and built to hit real baseballs, the ProHammer is manufactured using top-grade materials. The alloy hitting face does not "ping" but instead produces a sound similar to a professional wood bat when striking a baseball. ProHammer bats are balanced and weighted similarly to professional wood bats and are available in the following "minus-3" swing equivalents:

The ProHammer is ideal for use in standard pro-style hitting drills, including tee-work, flips, front-toss, and thrown BP. It is recommended that a player switch to a game bat for hard machine pitch or hard live BP.

The ProHammer baseball training bat is a serious tool and with proper care will provide years of service.

If you are a young college-bound player, why spend all of your money on an expensive, thin-walled game bat that masks your swing errors, is worn out after a single season, and leaves you unprepared for wood bat competition? Perfect your swing by training with a ProHammer and be ready to swing any game bat with authority.

If you are a professional, you are always looking for ways to refine your stroke. Perhaps you want to reduce roll-overs, pop-ups, or just find that perfect path to the ball. The ProHammer is the ideal off-season and pre-season workout tool that allows you to gain command of your strike zone.
