Abstract: A training bat includes a handle having proximal and distal ends, an elongate ball-striking element having proximal and distal ends, and a connecting rod connected at the distal end of the handle for receiving the proximal end of the ball-striking element and detachably connecting thereto. The ball-striking element has a diameter no greater than one-half the diameter of a conventional baseball bat to provide a training effect as the bat is used to swing at a ball pitched to a batter. Weights may be removed and added as desired to change the weight of the bat by removing the ball-striking element from the connecting rod, placing the desired number of weights on the connecting rod and reconnecting the ball-striking element to the connecting rod. The training bat has the length and weight of a conventional bat to maximize the training bat's effectiveness in developing hitting ability.

Abstract: A training bat including a handle having proximal and distal ends with a diameter of a conventional baseball bat and an elongate ball-striking element having proximal and distal ends. The ball-striking element is secured to the handle by the proximal end and extends outwardly from the distal end of the handle. The ball-striking element has a diameter no greater than one-half the diameter of a conventional baseball bat for providing a training effect as the bat is used to swing at a ball pitched to a batter using the training bat. Weights may be removed and added as desired to change the weight. The weights are positioned near the center of the bat in order to maintain the proper balance of the bat.
