I use this with my 8 & 7 year old in the yard. Withing the first year one of the power bands broke (snapped) and the hitting head came off its pole. I glued it on with epoxy resin. Not more than 3 weeks later the hitting head cracked. Now I have to order a new one.

My neighbor has the similiar device by a different brand name. He takes his to baseball prctice for his team to use. His son is older than ours and they have never had anything break on it. In fact, he has also had his 2 years longer than me. He has had to replace the elastic bands because they become worn and stretched out but never because they snapped.

I would look for his "brand" (all black and white) and save your money on the "Jeter" one.

It's a great practice tool and really helps to refine your swing. It's very convenient too as you don't have to constantly reposition a ball on the tee.
If I have one negative comment, it's that it could be more durable. We're on our second one as the base of the first one he had broke (& a piece from the original had to be replaced when we first bought it as well).

Gives me as a coach more time working with my players batting techniques and the players more reps. without having to stop to pick up balls using a regular tee.
