Product Description
Develop SHORT, QUICK, COMPACT swings!! Endorsed by 2006 AL batting champion Joe Mauer, the Automatic QuickSwing uses a unique delayed gravity-drop design to help batters develop greater bat speed, hand-eye coordination, reflexes, and muscle memory. Now, load your baseballs or softballs and let the new automatic feeder release the ball in five second intervals. Can be used alone or with a partner, and is designed for both baseball and softball batting practice. Includes the new see-through end that allows the hitter a split second more time to work on his/her trigger or load before the ball drops down. Most appropriate for ages 8 and up. Works for left hand and right hand hitting. Allows the hitter to load 10 baseballs/8 softballs and use the automatic drop feature in addition to using it manually. Also, the end is clear to see through. It allows the hitter to work on their timing/trigger and it gives the hitter a split second more time to get ready to hit the ball that is dropping. Can be used with baseballs and softballs and all sizes of wiffle balls. Comes with an instructional DVD. ****PLEASE NOTE: This item does not qualify for standard shipping charges or shipping discounts. The cost of shipping and handling for this item is $10.00***

 Quick Swing July 28, 2008
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.
 Mauer quikswing July 13, 2008
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.
 Swing Quick! June 7, 2008
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!
