Tips For Building Batting Cages


Tips For Building Batting Cages
By guest author: Andy Brock

Backyard batting cages provide a tremendous advantage to baseball hitters of all skill levels. I mean, who wouldn't want to walk out to their back door and take a little batting practice. When deciding to build a cage, there are several things to consider.

The first thing that you want to do is consider how much space you have available in your yard. No matter how much space you have, you can get the most out of any cage with effective hitting drills. Secondly, decide how much money you have to spend. This is really the most important decision as it will drive your planning for which type of frame to use as well as the batting cage net.

Once you have decided how much space you have and settled on your budget, you need to start thinking about what type of frame makes sense for your yard. Frames can be made from galvanized steel pipe, plastic PVC or even treated 4 x 4 posts. Also, keep in mind whether you would like for the structure to be permanent or portable.

Next, think about the batting cage net. Try not to get hung up on how big the cage needs to be. The most important aspect of a net is the gauge not the dimensions. Nets will break down or deteriorate from the effects of the weather and ball abrasion. Think of it this way, the thicker the gauge the longer the net will last. Also, keep in mind the hardware that is needed in order to hang the net which can add up quickly to the overall cost. Parts that may be needed for construction are but not limited to concrete, cables, hooks and clamps.

Another more cost effective option might be to check out batting cage kits that are available from numerous manufacturers and retailers online. There are several to choose from and can provide the biggest bang for you buck. One of the biggest advantages of buying a kit is that many times they are portable and can be taken down in the off season.

Having a batting cage in your backyard is not as a far fetched idea as it once was. Batting cages are more affordable than they ever have been and require less time to assemble. Spend some time planning and you'll enjoy using it for years to come.

This information shows you practical tips for building batting cages. If you have purchased one, learn about ways to maximize your practice time in the batting cage.

Baseball Batting Drills: Batting Cage


Baseball Batting Drills: Batting Cage
By Jeffery A Wise

If you're looking for good baseball batting drills, there are plenty out there. Drills are important because they make players better hitters. You should always participate in hitting drills before you take live batting practice. They will help you with your hitting mechanics before you ever step into the batter's box. While there are many drills, it's good to give detailed attention to one at a time.

Batting drills can literally be practiced anywhere and at any time, including at home, the ball field, batting cages or the park. If you have the right equipment it will be no problem.

In previous articles we have briefly mentioned a drill known as the underhand toss drill. What you will need for this drill are baseballs, protective screens and either a batting cage or protective netting.

For this drill the coach, parent or teammate helping you doesn't have to kneel to the side. Place a protective screen 10 feet or more away from the hitter with the netting approximately a foot away from the hitter. So, if you're in a batting cage, the batter is positioned very close to the back netting.

The pitcher should underhand to toss the ball as level as possible and allow the hitter to take his swings. You should underhand toss the baseball several times each to the outside, inside and down the middle of the plate. As the hitter, practice hitting the ball to the opposite field, center field and right field, depending on where the ball is pitched.

With the batter so close to the back of the netting, it will help him learn how to have a more compact swing. Without a compact swing, he will most likely hit the netting when he swings. Considered one of the best baseball batting drills, it has been proven to help many players with their hitting mechanics.

Remember that the reason to do baseball batting drills is to give you skills and talent to become the baseball player you want to be. Download free hitting videos with tips and instructions you need to get started quickly by visiting Baseball Hitting and learn how to hit the baseball better.
