SUREHITTER Instructor's Guide


The best results with the SUREHITTER are achieved when the instructor:
  • understands the underlying learning principle of the product and
  • follows the recommended teaching methods.

Both aspects are fully described in the SUREHITTER Instructor’s Guide, available as a DVD and also as a printed Manual. Both versions come with the purchased product. Also the DVD can be viewed below, and a copy of the Manual can be downloaded here:

Safety Notices:


1) During actual games or when practicing around others, children should wear a helmet as specified by the sponsoring league organization.

2)
The SUREHITTER should only be used under adult supervision when children are involved.

3)
Instructors should maintain a firm but comfortable grip on the SUREHITTER when in use.

4)
As with all baseball activities involving a swinging bat, be sure there is ample safe clearance from all other individuals or objects to accommodate the bat swing and the SUREHITTER’s natural recoil.

5)
The SureHitter is very durable and made to withstand bat impacts to the ball or the support handle. The SUREHITTER coating protects both its handle and the player’s bat. However, we recommend not using a high-end bat due to the possibility of minor scratches to the bat from its occasional contact with the handle.

6)
Read or view the entire Instructor’s Guide before using the SUREHITTER.
