Flight Path (Line Drive) Cage (51ft x 25ft)

This cage gives the player a true sense of his swing and flight path. In this cage the hitters will have a clear view of where the ball is hit and on what trajectory. The cage has Green, Yellow and Red areas to show what percentage of the balls hit will be hits and lead to a higher OBP. Most NCAA Division 1 studies indicate:

A. 30% or all ground balls are base hits resulting in the batter having an On Base % over .300.

B. 80% of all line drives are base hits resulting in the batter having an On Base % over .800. (NHA teaches the correct swing path that results in a more consistent Line Drive swing that will lead to a higher OBP.)

C. 20% of all fly balls including HR’s are base hits resulting in the batter having an On Base % UNDER .200.

1. Above Green Top of Net: Fly Balls (20%-30% OBP)

2. Green: Line Drive Base Hits (80+% OBP)

3. Yellow to Green: Line Drives Hits (50%-70% OBP)

4. Yellow to Red: Ground Balls (30%-40% OBP)
