#1 Way to Easily Adjust Your Tanner Batting Tee Height

When a batting tee becomes stuck at the bottom of its range, it's a result of the friction adjusting parts wearing down internally and no longer having the capacity to support the weight of the tee shaft and the baseball or softball. We've all seen batting tees like this at a training facility or high school cage stuck at one pitch height. In some cases the tee is simply old and has performed admirably to its max capacity - it justifiably needs a batting tee replacement part. In other cases where the tee is stuck after just a few weeks of use, it shows a flaw in the tee.

Increase Bat Speed and Hand Strength

The late Joe Tanner was an old-school coach who came up in baseball during the 1950s. Back then training aids were not nearly as available and players used creativity to increase their hand strength. As a kid growing up playing baseball myself, Joe (my grandfather) stressed the importance of hand strength to generate bat head speed. Admittedly, the baseball players of Joe’s era didn't face the same level of pitching (mainly talking about MPH here), nor were they collectively as strong of athletes as what we have today. That’s no dig to their skill as professionals; it’s simply a result of modern-day exercise and physiology combined with human bio-mechanics understanding. Athletes in 2014 can get faster, bigger, and stronger with strength routines designed by exercise professionals with eight years of college and a lot of science to back their programs.
