When it comes to total number of views, the most popular post on this website is the one I wrote back on January 29, 2014. It was called How to make a batting tee.
If you have the money, my pick for the best basic batting tee is the Tanner Tee. It is the tee that many college and pro team/players use and they do so for a reason. There are some other great specialty tees as well like the one I previewed HERE.
If you are short on funds or just a handy person by nature, making your tees is a great option. The original post (linked above) showed a few photos and a description sent to me and reprinted with permission from my friend Coach Bob Sopko of Allentown, PA . I recently contacted him again because I was receiving quite a few requests for the parts list and dimension sizes. He graciously passed them along with permission to post these as well. Shout out to Bob once again!
Below is a screenshot of the dimensions and a few additional building tips he threw in as well. If you’d like a printable pdf version, click this link here – Tee Material List copy.
Happy building!
And by the way … if you liked this post, the best companion to it is an eBook I created that lists and details 60 great hitting drills, several of which utilize a batting tee! Click HERE to get a copy!
