The Nokona Bratt bat is a weighted training bat that can be used by players of all ages to improve their bat speed. It works because it makes the player do the work. It is the perfect replacement for other products that swing themselves. The nokona bratt bat has been used by professional baseball players since the record breaking year of 1977 for training and on-deck use. It can increase batting averages over 200 points by adding more quickness and power to your swing. The lexan plastic tube and hard wood handle make it virtually indestructible and one of the safest on-deck products available.
