By giving visual feedback, the Power Bag helps hitters see what leads to more power at the contact position. The power bag can be hit and driven through, the better the mechanics, the more the bag moves. Hitters will find that using proper hitting mechanics and actually driving through the bag with the hips leads to the bag going all the way to the top or even all the way around.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Power Bag\u003c\/strong\u003e develops power hitting strength in the wrist and forearms. The Houston Astros, Lance Berkman (pictured) credits a similar device his father made with much of the power he has in his wrist and forearms. Hitting the ball with authority requires power and strength at contact which results in more spring off of the bat head. Bat speed is crucial for hitting the ball a long way, but if there is give in the wrist at contact much of the benefit of bat speed is lost. Strengthening the hands, wrist and forearms by using the Power Bag™ will  cause the ball to jump off of your bat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarge Power Bag - around 9.5 lbs - 10\" diameter x 24\" long.\u003cbr\u003ePlayers over 180 lbs.

A ball is in contact with a bat only 1\/2000 of a second and some will have you believe any energy spent after contact is wasted. In theory this is correct, but how many times as a coach or parent have you noticed players of all ages give up on a swing? By teaching players to always finish their swing strong “completely” through the ball, you help them develop good habits that eventually translate into harder hit balls and sound muscle memory mechanics.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Power Bag gives instant feedback with every swing. Common hitter faults such as poor hip rotation, casting or swinging around the ball, poor hand position (rolled wrist) , barring the lead arm or lunging at the target will result in a weak hit and the bag will not move much. If a hitter uses sound point of contact hitting mechanics as taught by most instructors, Bingo! The bag goes higher or all the way around. This visual and physical reward helps teach hitters how using good fundamentals leads to harder hit balls and helps the hitter develop the necessary strength to hit the ball with authority every time.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Power Bag™ has a light foam center surrounded by a flexible, tear-resistant durable polyurethane coating.

The top arm can also be mounted to a wood surface using wood screws or bolts.  The unit can be removed from the top arm for storage by simply removing a ring pin.
