Learn to Bunt Properly...
Because Bunting Wins Games!

The BuntDown Bat is a training device that provides an innovative way to teach baseball and softball players the proper way to bunt.

Although similar in size to a conventional bat, it differs in shape. The hitting surface is half-round from just above the trademark to the end of the bat. This unique shape encourages the batter to keep the bat over the path of the ball which is essential when bunting properly.

When used properly, the BuntDown Bat teaches the batter to hit the ball down to the ground and not pop it into the air. Repeated use effectively teaches muscle memory and focus, reinforcing the most important elements of bunting.

"One of the lost arts of baseball is the ability to bunt properly.  In the past, I would use a fungo bat to have my players focus on bunting correctly. But the BuntDown Bat eliminates the need for any other training device. The BuntDown Bat's unique shape demands that players bunt the top half of the ball with the bottom half of the bat, training them proper technique through consistent use. This is a product that can win us games!"
