A tee takes the pitch out of the equation. That sounds like a beginner's tool, and for a five\nyear old it is, but it is also how professional hitters fix a swing. With no ball travelling\ntowards you, the only variable left is what your body does, which is exactly what you are trying\nto change.
\n\nTen minutes off a tee, done properly, is worth more than an hour of chasing bad pitches.
\n\nSet the ball where you want to practise hitting it, not where the tee happens to be. A ball at\nthe top of the strike zone and a ball at the knees need different swings, and the only way to\ngroove both is to move the tee.
\n\nThe range here is 66 cm to 109 cm. At the bottom of that range a young player hits off it\ncomfortably. At the top it sits at an adult's chest, which is where you go to work on high pitches\nand to stop yourself dropping the back shoulder.
\n\nEveryone hits the tee sometimes. On a hard stem that is a jarring stop and, over a season, a\nbent tee. A hand rolled rubber top folds out of the way and springs back, so a low swing costs you\nnothing but the ball rolling off.
\n\nIt also means the feel you get through the bat is the ball, which is the feedback you are there\nfor.
\n\nThe base is made to be left out in British weather, and the practical advice is still to bring\nit in wet. Water is not the problem. Grit is. A bit of sand between the stem sections is what\nturns a one handed adjustment into a two handed argument.
\n\nSet the tee at belt height. Hit ten. Move it down to the knees, hit ten. Move it up to the\nchest, hit ten. Then go back to belt height and hit ten more, and see whether the swing has\ntidied itself up.
\n\nPut a net behind the tee and you can do all of that in a garden without losing a ball. The\nhitting net in this range folds down and goes in a bag for the same reason this tee does.
