What makes the torpedo barrel different from a regular bat?
A torpedo-style barrel shifts more of the bat's mass toward the hitting zone rather than the end cap. The result is a larger sweet spot and more consistent contact — the same principle that's been turning heads in the MLB, now in a fun backyard format.
What age is this bat designed for?
Ages 5 and up. The lightweight plastic construction makes it easy for young kids to swing, while the torpedo barrel design keeps it fun and competitive for older kids and adults too. It's a great game for the whole family.
Is this a regulation baseball bat?
No — this is a lightweight plastic bat designed for backyard and recreational play, not official game or league use. It's weighted and sized for fun and casual practice.
What ball is included?
The set includes one plastic ball designed to pair with the bat. For more backyard variety — including curve balls, sliders, and rising fastballs — check out the Blitzball Bat & Ball Set.
Is this a good gift?
Absolutely. At $11.99 it's one of the best-value baseball gifts out there — ready to play right out of the box, no assembly needed. Perfect for birthdays, holidays, Easter baskets, or any young baseball fan.
Can I use this with other balls?
The bat works with most lightweight plastic balls of similar size. For a wilder game with real movement, try pairing it with Blitzballs.
This is absolutely perfect for my boys to practice hitting without needing someone to pitch to them!! You can adjust the height based on the person batting. So easy to assemble. Comes with the batteries for the timer box. Would recommend this again and again to any baseball families!! Can easily collapse and store and bring on the go. It comes with a bag to carry it in. It is exactly as pictured.
Very easy to assemble, I was surprised. Takes about 3-5 minutes 2nd time you do it. Good enough quality. Not heavy but seems durable. Tee also works very well. Stable if used on grass, have not used on hard surface.
Some balls just don't go straight, but I think this happend about 1 out of 20 times..... Have used softballs, baseballs, tennis and plastic balls... Not problems with that..... Highly recommend. Happy costumer.
This thing is epic. Perfect way to get us through the winter. It does drop the occasional ball, but basically worked as I'd hoped. It will handle heavier limited flight balls (I used the SKLZ balls) but I couldn't get it to handle softball size wiffles ... they'd just fall off. Just had my daughter hit baseballs in the house and fed softballs in the garage. Excellent product. It's going to get used until my kid goes off to play Div I ball ...
Great service
If you love backyard baseball, this is a must-buy. The ball curves and slips in ways that seem completely physically impossible. The bat generates crazy speed too.
