The Long Trainer is a 37"/37oz alloy 2-5/8" bat for developing barrel awareness, speed and improving swing path. The increased length and weight of the bat helps you get a better feel for how your body and barrel move together during the swing. This is for the big boys and unlike anything you have ever swung! To move this heavy implement efficiently, the hitter must keep the hands back, while opening up the hips and torso to create space for the hands and bat to travel through the zone at a reasonable depth. This move cannot be achieved without proper sequencing. The additional length of the Long Trainer forces an exaggerated focus and feel for having to control the barrel. The additional weight makes it very easy to “dump” or “lose” the barrel in between first move and contact, forcing the hitter to have a heightened focus on the bat-ball collision.
