ABSTRACT:
A training bat having a handle member with a shock absorbing coupler and at least one detachable elongated contact surface member coupled in the shock absorbing coupler wherein the at least one detachable elongated contact surface member has a width significantly less than the width of a regular bat to enhance the eye-to-hand coordination to contact a pitched ball with such at least one detachable elongated contact surface member having such reduced width. The shock absorbing coupler serves to absorb shock forces imparted to the batter's hands gripping the handle member when the ball is contacted (hit). Thereby, the stinging felt in the batter's hands after contacting the ball is significantly minimize.
