| Shuttle Baseballs are an excellent training aid for routine batting practice. The shuttle tail creates wind drag which produces the desired effect of a slower moving pitch. However, it accomplishes this speed modification without needing to alter the traditional overhand throwing mechanic or the pitch distance. This is a huge improvement over underhanded soft-toss hitting drills. It is a well established principle in coaching that the closer the practice environment mimics the performance environment, the more effective the practice becomes. As such, I highly recommend Shuttle Baseball for youth baseball coaches, teachers and parents! | ||

| Shuttle Baseballs are a great tool for my advanced hitting lessons. I’m able to train my athletes to make self-adjustments and learn body awareness for them to quickly progress into elite hitters. My athletes are able to show AND verbalize what they need to fix mechanically after watching the flight of the Shuttle Baseball coming off the tee. I truly enjoy using Shuttle Baseballs with my athletes and encourage all advanced hitters to use this tool for quick, easy adjustments and prolonged muscle memory. | ||

| I recently purchased 8 Shuttle Baseballs and a bat at last month’s CAHPERD conference. We took the balls out for the first time yesterday with great results. Both the teachers and the students loved the game. | ||

| Catching fly balls is often the last discipline to master in baseball. This product will help young players by removing the fear of being hit by the ball. It also helps fielders learn at a young age how to track the visual motion of the ball, letting it lead him to the right place at the right time. | ||

| What a great product! A slower ball that is soft and easy to track. It could very well revolutionize the way youth baseball is taught and learned. | ||

| Shuttle Baseball rocks!! It’s more fun than playing with a hollow plastic ball. It is heavier, so it feels better when hit. And it throws better in the wind than a Wiffleball. We like that we can play indoor baseball in gym class without needing a glove. The ball flies really far and then it stops rolling after it lands – that’s way cool!! Watch the PE Universe demo video. | ||
