The Bandit Sports Tee Popper is a patent-pending baseball training aid designed to help hitters practice timing and swing mechanics without needing a tosser. Instead of holding the ball stationary like a traditional batting tee, the Tee Popper sends a compatible Popper Ball or similar-size ball into the hitting zone at a consistent height, creating a repeatable solo training drill.
A 46-inch pop height provides a consistent target for swing practice, while the 3-second dwell time gives hitters time to get set before each repetition. The updated design also features an improved ball cup intended to provide cleaner pops and better ball control. Bandit Sports describes the current construction as 15 times stronger and 5 times heavier than its previous design.
The Tee Popper is designed for portable solo practice, making it useful for backyard batting practice, training sessions, and other areas where a player wants to work on timing without relying on a partner to toss. The manufacturer currently lists one Popper Ball as included, with additional Popper Balls available separately.
