-- WhakaSports has announced the launch of WhakaBall, a solo batting practice device that can be used for both baseball and softball. This training ball is attached to a twisting fabric tether, allowing the ball to fly into the distance before returning to the feet.

Baseball and softball experienced record participation over the last two years, according to the Sports & Fitness Industry Association, with the two sports combined seeing over 25 million people playing, the highest since 2018. In response to this, WhakaSports is providing a way for young players to develop their swing - even when they're away from the practice field.
"If you want to focus on improving your swing efficiently, these are exactly what you need. You just need to make sure you've got at least 100 feet of forward clearance," a spokesperson states.
With WhakaBall, players can practice batting alone without help from coaches or teammates, and they don't need to stop their training to retrieve balls. There's also no need for batting cages, nets, and pitching machines - which saves time and keeps practice sessions flowing smoothly.
One of the device's advantages is the simple design: even children can set up and use WhakaBall without adult help, so they can train more regularly, building better habits and muscle memory.
WhakaSports built the tethered ball system with military-grade materials that handle repeated high-impact use. Professional players have tested it and given positive feedback about how well it works for skill development, even during intense training.
The company offers three WhakaBall models with different tether lengths. The youth model has an 8-yard tether, the intermediate version has 10 yards, and the competition model reaches 12 yards for advanced players.
