Scott Lief, Little League – Coach-Ridgewood, NJ

Let me start by saying that my team is not the best team in the league (an understatement).  So one my players (not exactly a star athlete) puts the knob on his bat.  Now this kid hasn’t had a hit all year, and he ropes one to left field.  Next thing you know they’re all using it….and we’re getting hits.  We won our first game of the year.

Ryan was ready to drop out of baseball, he was discouraged and our rides home from the ball field were long.  I bought the Bat Knob to help his bat speed.  He didn’t want to use it at first…he thought it made him look like he needed help.  But then he hit a line drive base hit.  Pretty soon his teammates were asking to borrow it.  It made his swing quicker and he could catch up to the ball.

The Bat Knob gives me an added edge.  It gives me a quicker bat, and that helps my power.  I can swing a bigger bat with the same speed as a smaller bat.  And a bigger bat is more intimidating to an opposing pitcher.

The Bat Knob adjusts to fit most aluminum and composite bats. Its hard outer shell simulates the knob of the bat and provides a repeatable location to position your grip. With the bat knob, your young ballplayer has a visual and physical cue as to where to hold the bat, and, in most cases, he will be prevented from positioning his hands closer to the butt of the bat. Players who use the Bat Knob experience increased bat speed, bat control, power, confidence and more hits.

The BAT KNOB complies with most recreational and league rules (Cal Ripken®, Babe Ruth®, Little League®, and NCAA*) for use on all bat types and will become increasingly important as new bat rules become effective that limit the advantage of high tech bats.

Your young ballplayer can also “grow in to” a larger bat, with the assistance of the bat knob for when the bat is slightly too large for him. This can save you countless dollars on new bats throughout the years.

 *In NCAA the Bat Knob complies with rules for use on Wood Bats.  In NCAA rules it is unclear whether it complies for use on non wood bats and we suggest you check with your game umpire.


Instructions for use:

  1. Inspect the Bat Knob and ensure that it is not damaged in any way.
  2. Position the two halves at your desired hand placement location.
  3. Assemble the two halves together, around the shaft of the bat. Ensure that the plastic protrusions from one side fit into corresponding recesses of the opposing part.
  4. Feed the hook and loop strap through the “D” ring and pull tight, and secure it back on itself. Check that the strap is secure and that the Bat Knob fits tightly around the bat shaft. There should be no gap between the two halves, when they are assembled.
  5. Swing confidently and get a hit

Bat Knob Product

Problem: Swing Speed

Your young ball player selects the largest bat he can lift. You ask him to choke up on the bat, and he does ... for one swing of the bat, and then his hands are back down at the bottom of the bat. When he does choke up, it is in a different location every time he takes a swing. Good news, we’ve got a solution!

Solution: Bat Knob

Bat Knob provides a repeatable location for grip position giving your young ballplayer a visual and physical cue as to where to hold the bat, swing after swing. Players who use the Bat Knob experience increased bat speed, bat control, power, and confidence, which translates into more hits!
