The Swingaway was over twice as expensive as the solohitter.

Our HS program owns both, I own a solohitter. The Solohitter lasted about 1 season when the entire team was using it.

So if you are looking at it for a team I would go with the Swingaway.

However I have two boys (i 1 currently playing college, the other varsity) who took about 200 swings a day on the solohitter for the past 6 years and it is still in great shape. So for home use I would recommend the solohitter( unless money isn't an issue)

I'm not sure what this person's experiences using both Solohitter Swingaway, but based upon my experiences using both, if the Solohitter lasted one season, the Swingaway would be lucky to last one week.

The Swingaway has features that the solohitter does not (quicker ball return to hitting area, ability to adjust for inside outside locations).

It is my experience that in a high usage environment, the Swingaway can be a maintenance nightmare and is much more suited for personal use.

any nore thoughts??

Yes. Someone wrote in to baseball excellence complaining about the Swingaway so you may want to give that a read.

Interesting read, dat.

Just curious BigW, What broke down on the solohitter? I have one and have replaced the ball/cord but don't see any other wear parts that might wear out.
