Configuració
- Trieu una ubicació adequada: Select an open area free from obstructions, such as a backyard, park, or field. Ensure there is enough space for the batter to swing freely and for the trainer to extend fully.
- Secure the Trainer:
- Identify a sturdy anchor point, such as a tree, fence post, or pole.
- Use the provided attachment clip and strap to securely fasten one end of the trainer's cord to the anchor point. Ensure it is at a height that simulates a realistic pitch.

- Position the Operator: The person operating the trainer (the "pitcher") should stand at a comfortable distance from the anchor point, holding the two handles. The distance will determine the tension and speed of the pitch.
- Position the Batter: The batter should stand in their normal batting stance, facing the ball, at a distance that allows for a full swing as the ball zips down the line.
Instruccions de funcionament
The SKLZ Zip-N-Hit is designed for simple and effective batting practice. Follow these steps for optimal use:
- Prepare for the Pitch: The operator holds the two handles, keeping the cords taut. The ball should be positioned near the anchor point.
- Initiate the Pitch: When the batter is ready, the operator quickly pulls the handles apart, causing the ball to "zip" down the line towards the batter. The speed and movement of the ball can be varied by the operator's pulling technique.
- Batter Swings: The batter tracks the ball and executes their swing as it approaches the hitting zone. The design allows for full swings without the risk of losing the ball.
- Repetiu: After each swing, the ball will return to the operator's side, ready for the next pitch.
Image: A young batter in a helmet and uniform is shown in their batting stance, eyes focused on the white SKLZ Zip-N-Hit ball, which is suspended by two black cords. An adult figure is visible in the background, holding the handles of the trainer, ready to initiate the pitch.

Manteniment
- Neteja: Wipe down the ball and handles with a damp cloth after use to remove dirt and sweat. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Emmagatzematge: Store the SKLZ Zip-N-Hit in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
- Inspecció: Regularly check the cords, ball, handles, and attachment clip for any signs of fraying, cracks, or damage. Replace the unit if significant wear is observed.
