Fresh off a stellar debut season last year, the DeMarini M2M is back and better than ever. The M2M combines DeMarini’s legendary performance with their newest technology.

The Metal 2 Metal construction provides the stiffest and most responsive barrel through the two-piece direct connect power transfer system.

The M2M combines a SC4 alloy barrel and the M2M handle. The SC4 barrel is strength tested and thickness tuned providing the ultimate forming capabilities to provide the largest sweet spot ever. The M2M handle is unlike anything DeMarini has produced before. It is an alloy handle that provides a stiffer feel than traditional DeMarini bats giving you the extra power and whip through the zone that you need.

The Half & Half system redistributes weight for optimal balance, allowing players to swing faster with less effort. For the player, Half & Half means more power. Combining the M2M handle with the Half & Half construction makes this the most powerful DeMarini bat ever.

The improved M2M end cap helps dampen the vibration, producing a better feel and easier swing. The DeMarini Variegated grip gives you the most comfortable feel, allowing you to have the most control possible over the bat.

The DeMarini M2M is one of the hottest new bats on the market today and its ability to perform at the highest level will help sustain that position on top of the baseball world.

SC4 Alloy Barrel - DeMarini's proprietary aluminum extrusion provides a thickness tuned wall that reac...

The Worth Blade offers high performance and durability. The Blade features the ever dependable 7050 alloy. This alloy advantage includes increased flex and more power. It is 30 percent thinner than the competition; this creates better whip.

Worth's new Whiplash tension process stretches a thin tube into shape with hyper-thin walls. Therefore, Whiplash designs have the Blade enhanced with features of maximum bending to increase swing speed and power.

Whiplash Technology reduces the thickness of taper sections for more flex. But the technology also creates lighter overall frames. The end result is a decision between hyper-lite weight bats and/or much longer barrels.

The bat also gets a longer barrel with the X-Long barrel and a bigger sweet spot. At the end of the barrel is a perimeter weighted plug. This creates 5 percent more inertia to drive through the ball.

The Silencer leather grip gives you more traction on the handle allowing you to handle the bat with even more control.

The bat features a Diamond Blast finish giving it the cutting edge graphics.

For baseball fans, there are few sounds more exhilarating than the crack of bat meeting ball. The solidity and satisfaction of connection is what the game is all about. In a game where hitting even 4 of every 10 pitches (0.400 average) is more than outstanding and where the outcome of a game can hinge on one pitch, one hit, batting is a crucial skill. Whether you're dreaming of a career in the pros, sharpening your skills for your next school or neighborhood game, or teaching your child to keep his eye on the ball, a batting cage can be an invaluable and fun tool. Let's take a look at some of the best backyard batting cages in the industry. You may not be able to bat 1000, but you will improve your stance, skill, and batting average.

What should you look for in a batting cage? A batting cage is meant to create an area to practice your swing, whether with the use of a pitching machine or not. It keeps the balls contained to the cage, which is convenient for use in practices and in the backyard so unsuspecting neighbors don't get hit with a fly ball. A batting cage is a self contained player development environment that allows you to safely practice hitting techniques.

The benefits are many: you don't have to run and retrieve balls, you can practice stances and swings and get instant feedback from coaches, and you can hit a much higher volume of balls either from an in cage pitcher or a pitching machine. This will allow you to tweak your strategy, and most importantly, practice, practice, practice. To do so, though, you need to ensure that the batting cage will be safe and effective.

There are a few factors you need to consider, including size, frame design, net, and price. Let's take a quick look at these:

• Size. This varies greatly both on your budget and your space needs. A small backyard batting cage for your child will, of course, be smaller than one you'll be using with your team. Usually, you will see batting cages that are 12 to 14 feet high and about 55 to 70 feet long. If you want to simulate a real game situation, you'll need one that can run from the pitcher’s mound to the plate to provide that realistic experience.
• Having a quality frame is essential. Most are made with a light tube material, like plastic or light metal, to create a light and portable design. Look for those with substantial cross beams or members in the upper corners so it will support the net properly. If there are too few cross beams, the net will pull inward or blow outwards, which can compromise its safety and efficacy.
• indoor batting cages can have nets made of nylon, and these will last for years. If you are going to be using the batting cage outside, you will need to invest in a higher quality, more expensive material so the net doesn't degrade due to UV rays, water, rot, and other outdoor dangers. You will want a net that is made of water and sun-resistant material. Polyethylene, HDPE, or Kevlar are good choices.
• Price. Bigger will cost more, and materials resistant to elements will cost more. Decide what you can spend, and keep your eyes open for value. If you have to go a little smaller to get the quality you need, that may be a good trade-off for you.

Many big hitters like to take some heavy lumber to the plate with them and the Rawlings Liquid Metal Baseball Bats are ready for action. Heavy might not be the best word for these sticks which are significantly lighter than wood for their size. A -3 weight ratio is what big hitters are looking for. A heavier club making the same contact will drive the ball harder and farther, and that’s the simple physics of it.

These sticks achieve their notoriety by employing CRe alloy, which means they’re enhanced with chromium used in manufacturing applications where strength and durability must combine in a relatively light metal.

It’s not just the power guys are reaching for the Rawlings Liquid Metal. Their superb balance makes them real mashers for every style of hitting. Flex your inside out swing and slap the ball past the infield. Demo your short, compact stroke and drive one to the gap. They’re light enough to get around on the fastball and balanced enough to deliver the control you need to adjust to something off-speed. In short, these bats are built by hitters for hitters and you’ll realize that from the first session of batting practice. By the way, the comfort grip and knob will keep you in the cage as long as the coach wants to keep throwing or the pitching machine has juice. You’ll be done when your swing is right, not when your hands can’t take it.

The alloy composition is more durable than most composites. No break-in period needed and no breakdown in mid-season. This is an all-around stick favored by the middle of the lineup types but any hitter will benefit from CRe technology and a fantastic design.

The easton stealth IMX is a 2-piece, all composite bat. It uses Easton's Integrated Matrix Technology (IMX) composite material. This is an aerospace grade fiber that is layered and angled a certain way that provides a big barrel and sweet spot.

It uses Easton's ConneXion (CXN) technology. This means that since it is a 2-piece bat, there is a connection between the handle and barrel.

Carbon Nanotube Technology (CNT), is a technology that highly strengthens the resin. It is also used in aerospace applications.

The Stealth IMX has a large sweet spot and is relatively barrel heavy. The swing weight is somewhat high, so it may feel a little heavier compared to Easton's other bats. The flexibility is good and you should expect minimal vibration on contact.

For added comfort the Z-1000 has a Louisville Slugger end cap and a 7/8" standard handle with a synthetic grip.

When kids are first learning how to hit a baseball they usually do it off of a tee (called T-ball league) so they can get the feeling of bat hitting the baseball. As they progress through the youth leagues you start seeing pitching machines implemented for batting practice and some leagues do without pitchers entirely (call coach pitch league), solely relying on a pitching machine to throw all the pitches.

The reasons for using baseball pitching machines is because they are consistent, accurate, and their arm doesn't get sore. Youth baseball players get an excellent hitting practice since the machines can accurately throw different types of pitches and at various speeds.

When kids first learn how to pitch, they can be wild and often hit the batter by mistake, so having a pitching machine in place of the pitcher eliminates that worry. As a parent, I appreciate the fact that most leagues watch out for the younger players in this way.

When the kids are young you only need a basic model that will throw either baseballs at 30 to 50 MPH. Pitching machines with automatic feeders are the best since it eliminates having to load it manually.

Make sure that the pitching machine is portable - should be easy to maneuver it around, put together, disassemble, etc. Pitching machines for baseball range in price from about $100 up to $2000.

What do you need? Probably somewhere in between. For those that want a backyard pitching machine for home use, consider the Louisville Slugger, Jugs, or Trend Sports models. Most handle regulation size baseballs will work fine and you can adjust the speed of the pitch.

The jugs pitching machines are highly rated as they throw fastballs, curveballs, and can reach speed of 75 MPH or higher if needed. Look for pitching machines that also throw fly and ground balls so they can be used for fielding practice as well. Besides Jugs, Atec, BATA, and Zooka make quality pitching machines as well.

Without a doubt, Jugs is the best selling and typically most expensive brand in pitching machines for youth and high school players. Below are listed several youth pitching machines from which you can choose.
