Baseball Training Aids

New baseball training aids keep turning up on the commercial markets. Now no matter which way you look at it, it seems a waste of time and talent as well as a shame. I mean why not just get a baseball bat and a ball and go out into the field and practice like hell till you get a knack for the game. What’s the use of getting so much expensive equipment like pitching machines and catcher’s nets and automatic bats if the only thing they will teach you is to rely on crutches and remain a sports cripple all your life? It’s very sad to see young kids who have all the potential in the world get to have the game spoon fed to them by modern technology. What this does is reduce them to a level that is below robots. It dehumanizes them.

Baseball training aids for kids are a familiar sight at every super store and sports complex. It almost makes you want to tear out your hair in exasperation and agony. If somebody wants to spoil his technique than the best advice would be to use these aids. They are worse than AIDS in what they do to the sports immune system of the individual. And just imagine the nerve some people have of introducing their kids to these support systems at such a crucial age when they are just forming their reflexes and rudimentary movements. Oh, the pity you feel for parents who don’t have the time to take their kid by the hand and introduce him to a natural wooden baseball bat and ball and tell him to keep hitting it till he gets the technique just right.

Among the baseball hitting training aids are bats which are hung from the ceiling and swung with least effort. They automatically respond and with the energy it takes to break a bird’s legs. Why would someone want to hit if he doesn’t have what it takes to gather the drive it takes to whack the baseball into the clear blue sky? Maybe because he hasn’t seen enough hardship in life and is born with a silver spoon in his mouth.

And baseball pitching training aids are so pathetic that they have almost become a cartoon cliché. The pitching machine that has gone haywire and spews out baseball after baseball like there were no tomorrow is not the work of fiction. No sir. It is based upon fact believe you me. There have been accidents with such machines which can even cause death were they to malfunction. So buyers beware! It is better to undergo a surgery with stitches on your forehead than end up in the coma section of the ICU. Go natural and feel good instead of using all these silly contraptions that accomplish nothing more than making you an addict and a wimp.

Finally baseball throwing training aids are hand like devices that you fit over your elbow and they are supposed to allow you greater movement and ability. Maybe the only thing they do is hinder movement. Like I said natural is normal. All technology is just a form of spoonfeeding and the baby food you get fed is poison in disguise.

So my advice to you is to stay clear of these aids and any bad luck will stay clear from you.
