What About Baseball Hitting Devices?

Over the last year I have been introduced to a number of baseball hitting devices designed to assist players in hitting the ball better.  That is the sole reason these things are made. 

There seem to be a few legitimate hitting tools that can get a batter back on track and even help maintain their swing mechanics.  There are others out there that look like a pointless gadget straight from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

I'm not going to sit here and name all the tools I'm talking about because I don't want to bash any companies.  It's up to you to decide what is legitimate and what is bogus.

What I can tell you is what I know works.  There are some things that have been working since the beginning of their creation and still work today.  There are other things that work for a while but advancing technology makes it obsolete.

A tee is one of those baseball hitting devices that has worked since it was first made and still works today.  I don't know for sure but I would possibly guess that a tee is one of the highest selling baseball hitting devices.  Literally everybody uses one: from small kids to Major League Baseball players.

If you don't own a tee then you should look into it for sure.  A tee really helps you get back to the basics of hitting.  You can practice hitting the baseball at different locations.  Inside pitches, outside pitches, low pitches at the knees and higher pitches at the waist.

I'm not closed minded to newer devices out there but I do know for sure that a tee has worked for many thousands of players.  Why do you like using a tee?  What other devices out there work?  Tell me how they've worked for you.
