This might sound a litle weird but what is the name of the thing used for batting practice that has two handles, 2 long strings a plastic baseball that rides down the string and can be tied to a pole or tree for batting practice, its operated by pulling your hands apart. Trying to locate one of these for my son..

Thank you

We just use an old-fashioned pitching machine.:D We have been known to take a tennis ball, drill a hole through it, and tie a string on it. I've heard there are people who use a small rubber ball on a string, because if they can hit that ball with regularity they will see the real ball a lot better when it is thrown. After a while a real ball will look HUGE.:)
