Product Description
The Quickswing hitting trainer was invented with one goal in mind—to give you faster hands for better hitting. The proof? All-Star catcher, Joe Mauer. Growing up using the Quickswing, Mauer developed into a two-time batting champ and League MVP in 2009. The only baseball trainer specifically designed for developing a short, quick compact swing at any skill level.

Great product…….. If used correctly and religously your hitting will improve. Just like any other product of it’s type it will be up to the player to continue using it. I like the design because the ball releases down to the batter. This is what a batter really see’s during live pitching. After that it’s all about timing and bat speed which this product helps to develop.
I bought this for my eight year old to help eliminate the long slow swing he was using off the batting tee. Although I was skeptical at first, after watching the ‘infomercial’ for this product on YouTube I became more interested. The product I received is built better and sturdier than the one I saw on YouTube and includes the auto-feed feature as well.
Other reviews I had seen on the internet complained about shattering of the elbow that the ball drops from. This version appears to have addressed and resolved that problem as well as the elbow is made of a more pliable plastic than the rest of the tube. My only complaint is that the elbow is made of translucent plastic which makes it easier to see the ball before it drops. I created a cloth sleeve to cover the elbow to eliminate that issue.
Overall I am very satisfied with this Quickswing. Amazon had the best price and free shipping. I believe the Quickswing is a good alternative, and in many ways a much better product at a lower price, than the ‘soft-toss’ machines I was also considering. It is a bit more cumbersome to transport though.
See you in the big leagues!
We’ve been using our Quick Swing for about a week. I set it up once, and stored it set up in my barn. Yesterday I took it apart for a team practice at the fields. I noticed that there are cracks in the plastic around all three legs. Very disappointed. I would have easily rated this 5 stars, it works just as described, and develops my hitters’ hand-eye and bat speed. But how long will it be before the legs break off entirely? and where to get replacement parts?
This is great product for disciplining your ball player to swing quickly. Not as easy as it may seem. The engineering of the product was so-so. With the tube full of real baseballs or dimple balls the upper half where the balls feed in tends to droop causing the last six of twelve balls to not go to the feeder end. I took a bungee cord and hooked it from front to back and it works fine now. Where the tube attaches to the adjustable arm is a bit sloppy causing it to wobble a bit. Both issues are fixable. If not for either of theses nuisances this would be getting a solid 5 star rating. Auto drop feature is a must.I would still highly recommend this to anyone wanting to discipline themselves to swing quickly.
I purchased the Mauer quikswing for 10 year old son to use.We own a lot of baseball equipment and this device is not that great.It is very clumsy to have around and over time the connecting parts become loose.The clear down tube elbow falls off all the time with it’s poor design.Kids become BORED very fast with Mauer quikswing. Do your self a favor and buy another type of soft toss machine like the trend sports scorpion or the axiom toss master for your money.
