THE POWER BAG POWER HITTING AID BY MUHL TECH
Product Description
(DIFFERENT SIZES SHOWN BELOW)
The Power Bag™ develops power hitting strength
in the wrist and forearms. The Houston Astros, Lance
Berkman (pictured) credits a similar device his father
made with much of the power he has in his wrist and
forearms. Hitting the ball with authority requires
power and strength at contact which results in
more spring off of the bat head. Bat speed is crucial
for hitting the ball a long way, but if there is
give in the wrist at contact much of the benefit of
bat speed is lost. Strengthening the hands, wrist
and forearms by using the Power Bag™ will decrease
bat recoil and cause the ball to jump off of your bat.
---------------------
Is It Better Than a Tire?
You bet it is! The Power Bag™ was specifically
designed to allow the hitter to swing through the
bag. A ball is in contact with a bat only 1/2000
of a second and some will have you believe any
energy spent after contact is wasted. In theory this
is correct, but how many times as a coach or parent
have you noticed players of all ages give up on a
swing? By teaching players to always finish their
swing strong “completely” through the ball, you help
them develop good habits that eventually translate
into harder hit balls and sound muscle memory
mechanics.
---------------------
Teaches Explosive Hitting Mechanics
The Power Bag gives instant feedback with every
swing. Common hitter faults such as poor hip
rotation, casting or swinging around the ball, poor
hand position (rolled wrist) , barring the lead arm
or lunging at the target will result in a weak hit and
the bag will not move much. If a hitter uses sound
point of contact hitting mechanics as taught by
most instructors, Bingo! The bag goes higher or all
the way around. This visual and physical reward
helps teach hitters how using good fundamentals leads
to harder hit balls and helps the hitter develop
the necessary strength to hit the ball with authority
every time.
--------------------
What Is It Made Of, and What's In the Box?
The Power Bag™ has a light foam center surrounded
by a flexible, tear-resistant durable polyurethane
coating. It is soft enough to absorb bat impact and
can be used with most any bat. Each unit comes
complete including the top arm and u-bolts which can
be mounted to a pole 3˝“ diameter or smaller. The top
arm can also be mounted to a wood surface using
wood screws or bolts. The unit can be removed from the
top arm for storage by simply removing a ring pin. We
recommend removing the bag from the outdoor elements
when it will not be used for an extended period of
time.

long. Players 100-180 lbs. High school and college
fastpitch. We have had several HS fastpitch coaches
inform us that by the end of their first year using
this bag, 4-6 of their girls were hitting this bag
all the way around. None were able to do this at the
beginning of the year.
---Junior Power Bag - 3.5 lbs.- 7" dia. x 12" long.
Most players 13 and under. 110 lbs and below. this
