ABSTRACT:
A batting aid system (10) is provided for training a baseball player to properly swing a baseball bat. The batting aid system (10) includes a longitudinally extended handle member (20) defining a longitudinal axis (15). Handle member (20) is configured to simulate the contour of a conventional baseball bat, having cylindrical hand grip portion (22), a conical intermediate portion (23) extending to a truncated cylindrical distal end (24). An audible feedback system (30) having a weighted wheel member (32) is pivotedly coupled to the distal end (24) of handle member (20) for providing an audible output responsive to rotative displacement of handle member (20) about its longitudinal axis (15). The audible output is generated by a sound generating system (40) having a pawl (44) coupled to the handle member (20) and positionally disposed to contact the geartooth-like projections (46) of ratchet member (42), ratchet member (42) being coupled to weighted wheel member (32) and rotatively displaced therewith.
