Slowpitch Tee Height

depends on your arc rules. I would say between your waist line up to your chest. Higher the arc, higher the height.

I'm NSA. Gonna have to get a taller tee. Mine gets all unstable any higher than a couple inches above waist.

Most leagues require a strike to come above the front knee and below the back shoulder as if the batter was at the plate. So inside of that it's up to you on what type of pitch you like. Generally I'd say just below the nipple.

Build your own. Pvc, glue, insulating foam and duct tape came to $12. They cut it to length for me at Home Depot.

Film yourself and look where you make contact. Just get a tee at the sports store...they go high enough.

I just use a regular baseball tee. I stand it on top of a 5 gallon bucket so that its just at about chest high. May be a cheaper alternative than finding a custom slowpitch one.

It is a cool set-up. Menards or Lowes will do the same thing.

I have done two things, 1 regular baseball tee on top of a milk jug. 2 for 25 bucks you can get the Rawlings 5-tool tee from amazon. this thing is the ****, you can fold it up to be ablaut a foot long by 1/2 foot wide, maybe bigger just guessing but is ideal for putting in a bag

Use a construction cone and a pool float(the one that looks like a long twizzler) cut that pool float to size and stick it in the top of the cone. (you may have to cut the top of the cone a little) and there you have it.

Yeah, but you have to wait for delivery when you could be out hitting in the backyard or at the park.ijs

Build your own Tee with PVC videohttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cD-cTSc8zHs

I used this video to make my variation. I squared the base & allowed the middle to float so that I lean it out to work oppo hitting or inside to drive ball up middle& to left. I use a single tube measured from ground up two hands over my belly button. works great. Cost me less than $10. & took leass that 20 min. to Cut/Tape & put together It is also great for kids, I have a tube measured for my GS belly button. He like the angle to help him cover the outside corner, pitcher try to work him away after his first ab. He love hitting oppo it allows him to run. He want to hit for cycle one day.
