Read the verdict and alternatives

Our take

A batting starter that removes the moving pitch

The adjustable tee holds the ball still so the child can concentrate on the swing. Five balls let an adult reset several attempts before collecting everything again. This is most useful when there is enough clear space for the bat and the ball's path, rather than as a cramped indoor activity.

Best fit
The child specifically wants to swing a bat and an adult can manage the play space.
Before buying
Keep other children clear of the bat’s swing. Adult assembly and supervision are needed.

A closer look at the trade-offs

The trade-off

The Easy Score hoop changes the action to throwing toward a fixed target. Throw N Stick makes catching the shared challenge. Choose T-Ball when the child specifically wants to swing a bat and an adult can manage the play space.

Living with it & the first play session
