Abstract
A practice batting device having an elongated gripping portion and an elongated weighted portion interconnected with a spring. A swing speed indicator is positioned within the elongated weighted portion to determine the swing speed of the device. Removable plates permit a selected practice weight, thereby targeting strength training for eliminating recoil effects and snapping the user's wrists to simulate the impact of the bat striking an imaginary ball.
