Easy set up. Helps with leveling swing out. Wouldn’t use it once they forgives out the swing.

My daughter needs help with batting and the Launch Line is a good way to practice. The line clips on to a gate and the other end we hold. She is able to practice hitting the ball. She wants to bring the line to practice for the other girls to use.

Easy to use however ball doesn’t travel well on string

My kids are playing baseball this year, and this seemed like a great way to try and help them out. I think the idea is great, and there is a lot of adjustability on this thing for the length and means of attaching to things. But the included instructions are pretty poor (see attached photo). I think maybe someone who is a coach with lots of experience would be better able to use this than I was. My son found it helped him level his swing a bit, but he also had a hard time getting over how to hit with a rope in the way. I think he liked the novelty of this type of trainer, but then the lessons didnt stick. Perhaps its better for someone who has a little more skill and needs to perfect their swing angle, but I would say this probably isnt great for just having in the backyard. At least not without some additional input on the best way to use it.It does seem super well made, the rope is heavy duty, and the balls on it didnt show any signs of wear after several rounds of hitting. The handles and adjusters are robust, and should last several seasons. Just need to know the best way to use it.

This is one you can have fun with. It’s pretty easy to work and I love that you have full control over the balls. Simple tool. It helps a lot

With two nephews (a 9 year-old and a 7-year-old) in little league this year struggling to hit the ball, I figured this might help. Did it? Maybe. The younger of the two was able to get a hit after using this product daily for about 10-15 minutes, but the older one did not. It was easy enough to set up if you have the space to do so, but my nephews were only occupied with it for 10 minutes, tops. Fifteen minutes was a struggle. It also wasn't easy for them to figure out at first, especially with how they were supposed to hit the ball with the rope there. They eventually figured it out, but they quickly lost interest. I could see this being beneficial for someone who coached a team, but for individual use, I would not recommend.My rating system:1 Star - Do not recommend2 Stars - Disliked it3 Stars - It's okay4 Stars - Liked it5 Stars - Loved it
