Thank your for developing this really easy to use hitting tool at an affordable price. My 7 yr old son has been working with this mat for a little under a month and with its intuitive and easy to read visual aids, he’s been able to recreate what we practice at home and bring it to the field. He’s been able to identify his power stride, maintain balanced, and build strong muscle memory be repeating the same outcome every time. Whenever we need to make a correction, he easily pauses, looks at his foot placement, and corrects it on the fly. We’re able to remedy bad habits in an instant.

Purchased this hitting mat for my 10 year old son. We hit in the basement into a net via a hitting tee or when I short toss to him. I’m trying to teach him a shorter stride which will help quicken up his bat. I’ve noticed since we have been working on a shorter stride that he can get around on an inside pitch sooner and he seems to hit the ball harder with the shorter stride. Can’t wait to get him outside.

Been using this mat for over 3 months now hitting with my sons in the garage. No signs of any wear yet. They’re younger so don’t think they are putting too much stress on the mat. They love hitting on it.

AWESOME COMPANY!!!! GREAT TOOL FOR PLAYERS OF ALL AGES!!! Derek and his team reached out to me when I had a problem with my first mat. My mat was replaced within a couple of business days. My son and I have noticed immediate improvement with his batting stance, stride, and finding where he likes to stand in the batters box. I love the fact that he can correct himself when using this mat!
GREAT PRODUCT !!!
AWESOME COMPANY!!!

This mat is perfect for all levels. I currently have a tee ball team and two weeks ago they had no idea where their feet needed to be. This mat has helped my whole team learn to walk up to the plate and position themselves perfectly giving them the ultimate advantage with making solid contact with the ball.

Great for my 6 year old. I have not had it long enough to speak as to how durable it will be. I bought two of them, one for inside and one to leave outside. The markings are detailed and easy to see and remember. I does help you teach your young hitter how to stand at the plate and make proper fundamental swings. It is like any other practice / learning aid out there, how much time you spend practicing proper technique will decide how beneficial it is for you.

Excellent! I work with the Mets organization. Is there a way that you could try to make one that we could use on the actual mound. Overall, I love it. I use the one I have for hitting and I wanted to purchase one for the mound. I think our young players in our organization can benefit from it since we have some players with direction problems.

Decent quality with good value. A bit thin and moves around a bit under feet. I would recommend this for 10 and under. Older kids need a mat that is more substantial.

Great product, good durability, fast shipping.

Great training tool. Really helps my kid understand his foot placement. He’s memorized his numbers and I no longer have to tell him to fix his feet. Pretty durable too.
Sean (verified owner) –
Really valuable training tool for foot placement at the plate! Works great to keep kids focused on foot placement and stride length when doing drill, anything from tee work too soft toss to bp… my only gripe is it’s not very thick at all… we keep ours stored out of the weather when not in use so I can’t speak too durability in those scenarios where it wouldn’t be cleaned and stored after use… I will say this those I would make sure you use turf shores or tennis shoes when using this and not cleats of any kind… it will not hold up too cleats… all that being said it is a great training aid but grossly overpriced for the quality of the material

Great product. Excellent for use in my garage with my boys. The lines help my boys remember where to put their feet. However, it does curl up on the sides a little, I think because it is a very thin version of this mat. However, if it were thicker, it would be heavier and I think I prefer the curl on the edges and keeping it light.
