Abstract:
1. A batting swing aid, comprising: a) a hollow tapered cylindrical outer body having a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end narrower than the distal end, the tapered outer body surrounding an inner cavity and having at least four equally spaced ribs positioned inside the outer body and extending lengthwise on the outer body and protruding into the inner cavity; b) a hollow inner body having a tapered proximal end and a distal cylindrical end and having equal-sized distal shot compartments within the distal cylindrical end; wherein the proximal end of the inner body has at least four grooves extending lengthwise on the outside of the proximal end, the proximal end of the inner body has an external size so that when the tapered proximal end of the inner body is placed inside the inner cavity of the tapered outer body, the ribs on the outer body fit closely within the grooves on the inner body, forming body chambers that are aligned with the shot compartments, and the inner body has an internal size that fits over a bat handle; wherein the distal cylindrical end of the inner body proximally abuts the distal end of the outer body; and wherein the batting swing aid further comprises shot positioned in the aligned shot compartments and body chambers and that is capable of moving within the aligned shot compartments and body chambers when the batting swing aid is moved.
