Abstract:
1. A baseball training bat, comprising: a hollow tube with a handle portion toward a proximal end and a hitting portion toward a distal end; wherein said hitting portion and said handle portion are generally identical in diameter, and said hitting portion is substantially smaller in diameter than a hitting portion of a conventional baseball bat for helping improve hitting accuracy; and an elongated weight plug with an outer end fixedly positioned in said distal end of said tube, and an inner end extending partially into said tube; wherein said weight plug is comprised of a continuous piece of metal between said outer end and said inner end for simplicity and reliability; and said weight plug has a predetermined weight and a predetermined length that when combined with said tube, said training bat is adapted to closely approximate said conventional baseball bat in total weight and balance for closely simulating said conventional baseball bat in swing feel.
