Abstract

A training apparatus for use with a bat is provided. The training apparatus has a fastening portion releasably securable to a barrel of the bat and a resistance portion attached to the fastening portion such that the resistance portion extends past a barrel end of the bat when the training apparatus is secured to the barrel. The resistance portion is a flexible material configured to add resistance throughout a bat swing, thus increasing the strength and torque of the athlete for that motion. The training apparatus can be used with the bat for training and released for normal bat use when not training, thus using the athletes regular bat for training.
