What size should I choose?

Choosing the right WhakaBall size is essential for optimal training and safety. Each size is designed to accommodate different ages and skill levels, ensuring that players can practice efficiently and safely, improving their skills at every stage of their development.

Youth: 8 yd (24 ft)

The Youth size is perfect for players aged 6-12 with batting speeds under 60 MPH. It's designed for those developing strength to handle the 8-yard tether, which expands up to 60 feet.

Young players should have guidance from an adult to ensure proper bat handling. Initially, weaker players are encouraged to use a plastic bat and whiffle balls to build confidence and technique safely.

Intermediate: 10 yd (30 ft)

Ideal for players in junior and senior high school with batting speeds of 60-70 MPH. The Intermediate size allows the 10-yard tether to expand up to 75 feet, providing impactful feedback for improving batting techniques. This setup is perfect for solo practice and can be enhanced with a friend to catch return ground balls, fostering teamwork and skill refinement.

Competition: 12 yd (36 ft)

Designed for advanced players aged 16 and above, including college athletes and adult league participants. The competition size is equipped with a 12-yard tether capable of extending up to 90 feet, supporting batting speeds in excess of 70 MPH. Its robust construction requires ample forward clearance, delivering a realistic and challenging solo training experience that hones elite batting skills.
