“I found the Hot Rod to improve hand eye coordination. It seemed
to make the bat seem that much larger in diameter. It makes for better hitting
because it makes you concentrate efforts to hit the Hot Rod’s sweet
spot when taking batting practice. The varying weights promote better bat
control. The confidence level was raised tremendously when moving from Hot
Rod to a regular bat. If you can hit with a Hot Rod, then you can hit with
anything.”

“This tool is very interesting because of the two piece design. I never
thought that a two piece device could be that solid when making contact. The
decreased diameter promotes contact concentration. It reminds me of my old
stickball days, striking something small with something thin. With something
heavier than usual, I was worried that it would not have balance until my
athletes (and I) used it. This is the greatest training tool to aid in long
term conditioning and should be a part of any serious hitter’s equipment.”

“I am a contact/leadoff type of player, so bat control and contact frequency
are important. It felt good with the first ball that I struck. I especially
like the white head, because it helps me to stay inside the ball with one
hand. My hitting coach at the AAA level loved it. I will be in the big leagues
this year because of improvements made with the aid of the Hot Rod. This tool
makes a serious hitter work hard at this skill.”

“I had a very up and down 2001 season in the minors, so I knew that
my off season was going to be full of hard work. I wanted to add some consistency
to my swing and retrain my hands to my swing. After a week of using the Hot
Rod I already noticed improvements. My hands were faster, I made more solid
contact with the ball, and could wait on the ball much longer. After a month
of using the Hot Rod, I felt as if I was in mid season form in mid December.
I would recommend the Hot Rod to any baseball player who is dedicated to improvement.”

“Lamar Community College has had one of the top hitting programs in
the country for the past several years and we are always looking for an edge
on the competition. The Hot Rod allows us to overtrain the mechanical and
visual side of hitting on a daily basis. For any individual or team who wants
to improve, I highly recommend using the Hot Rod hitting device.”
Jerry Damron
Owner, level 1 Hot Rod.
“I purchased the Hot Rod for my son when he was eight years old. The
drills mentioned in the video were amazing. I wish you could see the difference
the Hot Rod has made to my son’s game. He now has a sense of self confidence
that he never had before. When an eight year old can take live batting practice
with this tool and be successful, it obviously impresses all who watch.”
Brent Fossum

“I used the Hot Rod for about two weeks. This new bat quickened my bat
speed and also allowed me to hit the ball farther and harder. The thin barrel
of this bat allowed me to focus on the ball more and hit the center of it.
I went to a baseball showcase in Phoenix, Arizona. After using the Hot Rod
I felt that it had enhanced my hitting. It made my hands quicker and developed
my batting eye.”
Dan Akenhead
University of San Francisco.
“At first I used the Hot Rod to prepare for a tournament that was slated
to be very competitive. I then used it with my private instructor. The results
were obvious. I found that by using the Hot Rod, my wrist, legs, stomach and
back were much stronger, therefore enhancing my bat speed and power. Not only
does the Hot Rod help with the physical aspect of hitting, but the mental
part as well. I feel that my confidence at the plate is greatly increased.
I now use the bat whenever I hit and am fully convinced that the bat will
help my performance in the season to come.”
Joe Salas
University Of New Mexico.
“The hitting prototype that I have been using has been supplemental
to improvement. Hitting with a weighted bat and thin barrel has helped with
my bat speed and confidence. I can hit squarely with a small barrel. The barrel
of my bat seems huge and I feel I have great bat control with both the Hot
Rod and my regular bat.”

"Our players have used the product extensively in our drill work in the
cages. They especially like the benefits in the on deck circle prior to their
at bat. Hitting is confidence and the Hot Rod provides that!"

"My son recently received his second Hot Rod (level II). His first Hot
Rod (level I), he has used immmensly for the past two years. It is still in
perfect working condition. I am amazed at the dependability and the rugged
construction of this two piece hitting tool.On behalf on my son Brad, thank
you Sam Chavez and Sunsports for inventing such a remarkable piece of equipment."
Ryan Swinney
Albuquerque, New Mexico
"I like the Hot Rod because it makes me swing correctly. Since it's heavier
than my
regular bat, I have to use my core power efficiently to drive the ball. I
use it for one-
handed drills and soft toss drills in addition to using it in the cage. Then,
when I go back
to my regular bat, I feel really confident."
