One day the little guy was desperately trying to practice his batting swing. Unfortunately, dad had a bum arm and couldn't keep the ball over the plate. Two months, a dozen prototypes later - the little guy is batting like a pro!
We designed your new FlexyT with simple goals in-mind: Portable, light-weight, extremely flexible and kid friendly.
You can see here FlexyT stands up to it's name. Made with a highly-flexible, extremely durable, UV stable and solvent resistant Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU). Your new batting T should stand up to many years of enjoyment.
Yes, this video is from a seriously fun prototype testing event we held with a bunch of the local, neighbourhood sports lovers!
Your new FlexyT was purpose designed to be ultra-portable. The entire package weighs ~1.3lbs and comes prepackaged in a free drawstring backpack so even the youngest sports aficionado can take their high-quality baseball T to every neighbourhood game!
Your FlexyT is so simple to assemble that every tester we've sent it to, reported achieving playtime, within ~2 minutes of opening their kit! With colour-coded poles and letter-marked threads you simply follow the A-B-C assembly sequence. Don't forget - if you plan to play a full length game, use the included stakes to secure your FlexyT like a home plate.
Every FlexyT is delivered with two top poles, each of which is labelled with their MIN and MAX heights that will be achieved if used. Simply select the top pole that matches your required height range.
4 Height Ranges:
D0: 23"-27", D1: 28"-32", D2: 30"-34", D2+1: 35"-39"
After assembling your FlexyT - you simply rotate the bottom (black) pole in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction to achieve the final height you require. The black pole is marked in inch by inch increments for ultra-easy setup.
No matter what sport you play - Baseball, T-Ball or Softball - the multi-cup system provided with every FlexyT will adapt to your ball size and style! If one of your cups doesn't fit your ball - we'll custom make one just for you!
And there you have it, in under a minute, you can have your backpack opened and your FlexyT assembled for easy game play. Batting practice? Sure - it's so much easier to practice that all-important swing on your own time, when you have a FlexyT to pitch the ball for you!
We started with an idea, while playing a game of catch. We took that idea to paper to layout the basic plan before moving to Computer Aided Design. Finally, we spent hundreds of hours meticulously designing and redesigning each part of your FlexyT kit.
After many hours of testing each prototype version. We settled on the strongest mechanical design, with the simplest user experience and strongest manufacturing method to make your FlexyT kit strong and reliable - while still being affordable against even the cheapest imported product at a big box store.
We are constantly improving, in fact all new kits shipped include our latest height adjuster design. The new height adjuster is even simpler (no more screwing and unscrewing) - just rotate to unlock, slide to the height you require and slide back t lock! Each available size option is easily indicated on the adjuster primary, in good ole' American inches.
When you purchase your new FlexyT batting T - you're supporting a Canadian Father and Son team. We discovered during the Covid Pandemic that we could use our skills to invent new things - honestly, we kind of had to due to how things worked out in Canada.
We make our kits, in-house in Ontario, Canada. Your kits are 3D Printed using state-of-the-art technology and custom designs that we have spent years perfecting.
Every kit sold comes complete with:
We have spent many hours testing our "Easy Flight" cup system. "Easy Flight" provides a unique water drainage system that keeps rain, mud and other moisture from pooling inside the cup - allowing for consistent batting experience.
This "Easy Flight" system is also designed to allow for a zero resistance flight mode when hitting the ball - keeping your batting experience providing positive flight and reducing the normally perceived downsides of a stationary batting tee.
The two included cups provide support for either a) 11 & 12 inch softballs or b) baseball and T-balls - each clearly indicated.
