Well use a youth baseball bat in batting cage?

Plan to hit the batting cages. Will treat both average speed and fast speed pitches. I have a young bat 32/18.5. Is the bat will be good for that kind of speed? Or should I stick with a -3 bat for adults?

Use a stick is similar in length and weight as the bat you use in a game. A couple more oz is fine, but try not to use a lighter bat. I never use the bat of the game in a cage. I do not think anyone should use a bat of the game in a cage that does not throw leather balls.

Think you can make a living with this?

I want to open an indoor baseball center. It would have batting cages, training, birthday parties, food drink / sale, bats, gloves, etc. I have no idea if these places make decent money. Anyone know really true for any number of income?

Well, you can not put the actual number of anything, because it really depends on how much business it receives. If you have a good business of your company might wish make a couple of hundreds of thousands, and you could run itself, I woudn't suggest throwing machines, which are expensive. Have a big bucket of baseballs in each cage. You will need to buy or rent a place big enough. As for the cage, get some compensation, and nail it on the floor, get some billboards pitching and put one in each cage, with a plate in each. Start with bats in rent, sell em not to know about making money, so do not waste your money on the sale of bats selling batting gloves, Gatorade, soft drinks, snacks, and see where it goes. As I said, it is difficult to put real money as a result of the different business flow companies can obtain. Run an ad in a newspaper, not behard, hiring an employee: the doorman. Pay him about 25,000 per year, if your business takes off, and keep the rest of the money. Catchy name something like "Kingdom of Batting" or something. You could make a good profit. Run an ad about your business on paper, or a local magazine. Grand Slam has already been used. You could make a good living doing this.

Since softball is largely a game about hitting it is no surprise that batting cages are very useful for practicing your swing. Building a batting cage, whether for fun or for a business, is fairly easy to do.

1. Draw up some rough plans for the size and location of your batting cage. You also need to decide if you are going to be using a pitching machine or just a shield for the pitcher.
2. Decide on the type of flooring you want to use. For an outdoor batting cage, hard packed dirt works, but for an indoor or sturdier outdoor cage anything from concrete to stretched polypropylene works. If you are using concrete, you need to let it settle before finishing the rest of the cage. If you use polypropylene, lay it on the ground and wait for the frame.
3. Secure the aluminum poles that serve as the cage and insert them into or onto your flooring surface. Adjust them to your desired height and attach them to each other to form the frame.
4. Attach the netting that serves as the ceiling and walls to the erected frame. If you wish to make the entrance to the cage very simple, overlap the netting where the door will be. If you want a more complex door use some extra aluminum poles to fashion one.
5. Install either a pitching machine or pitcher's screen. Complete the finishing touches, such as attaching the floor if it is polypropylene. Double check the walls to ensure they are attached properly and then place a bat and helmet inside.

Batting cages are enclosed or partially enclosed pieces of sporting equipment that act as a “catcher,” in effect, for batters practicing hitting baseballs or softballs. Batting cages help to keep balls in a contained space so that the batter can continue hitting without having to continually retrieve them. Different types of batting cages can be located outdoors or in a gym or activity center.

Batting cages are both in professional, school-sponsored, and recreational baseball and softball. They can be used to help improve a batter’s speed or to improve his or her accuracy in hitting a ball. A batter’s agility and stance, as well as his overall performance, can be enhanced by using a batting cage. While aiding a batter in improving his or her skill, batting cages also keep the ball in an enclosed area to prevent the injury of bystanders and onlookers.

Batting cages consist of a configuration of netting over a frame. They can differ in material, size, and cost, as well as structure and workmanship. Whether batting cages are used indoors or outdoors can be a deciding factor in what the best choice of material should be. Cages that are used outside will need to be tougher than those used indoors.

The netting in batting cages can be constructed of various materials and degrees of sturdiness. Framing in a batting cage should be constructed with a pipe that will withstand temperatures and weather in the area in which it is used. For that reason, a batting cage used by the Boston Red Sox will probably be made differently than one used by the Los Angeles Angels.

With less time spent retrieving baseballs, batters can spend more time advancing their technique. For decades, batting cages have played a central role in improving the swings of professional and amateur batters.

Batting cages act as work-out facilities for baseball players. Since there are various components used for the net, knowing the different types will enable you to assess which is better and which can work to you advantage.

A batting cage is an enclosed cage for baseball players. It is comprised of a frame, an automatic baseball pitching machine, and a net or chain-link fence. It is rectangular in shape and it is used for batting sessions. Batting cages are more often seen indoors.

The batter needs to stand at one end of the cage. Then, the live or machine pitcher will post at the other end. The live pitcher or pitching machine will then pitch baseballs towards the batter. The objective is for the batter to hit the balls.

Batting speed varies, often ranging from 30 to 90 miles per hour. This means the machine can also be configured to pitch at a certain speed.

The importance of this batting cage is to keep the baseballs within a certain range for the balls to be easily collected. The floor inside is sloped to automatically feed the baseballs back towards the auto-pitching machine.

In batting cages, the most important component is the material used for the net. You can find batting cages made from: Nylon, High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), Polyethylene (PE), Polyester, Kevlar, Spectra, KVX200 and other materials.

When choosing one, it can be determined by the application.

Nylon: AKA-DURA TECH is a brand known to use nylon for batting cages.

The conventional material has always been knotted or knotless nylon netting. Nylon has been known since the 1930s. The twine can be dyed to different colors.

Nylon performs very well when used indoors. It is scratch resistant and has high tension capabilities, especially if kept out of harmful elements. Its weakest attribute is its water-absorption capabilities. It can rot immediately or have mildew because of this. It can also shrink or stretch. If it is used outdoors, it can fall off quickly.

ATHE KVX200 (Kevloy Generation 2):This is considered as a commercial polymer. It is lightweight and strong. It doesn’t absorb water and won’t breakdown in direct sunlight. It has a so-called integral UV Inhibitor.

An integral UV inhibitor acts as a component that lies within a polymeric blend. It gets extruded and becomes individual fibers. It is then braided or twisted together. It can’t wear off easily because the UV inhibitor is built right into the KVX200.

Kevloy Generation 2 employs a unique carbon based black die. It stabilizes the polymeric blend. The carbon die makes the net fade-resistant. It continues to look good even after using it for more than 2 years.

KVX200 has a scratch resistance attribute. It also possesses high long term break strengths – both for indoor or outdoor use. It does not absorb water. It is also lightweight. Aside from this, it has excellent UV-resistant capabilities. However, the KVX200 is more expensive.

Polyethylene (PE): This is very popular because it is inexpensive. It also has some excellent properties for outdoor use despite its cheap price tag.

Polyethylene or PE does not absorb water. It doesn’t rot, and this makes it the best choice for outdoor cages. If you intend to use PE in direct sunlight, make sure that it has a UV inhibitor. PE has lower break strength as compared to nylon. Though the break strength is lower, it holds its strength better when exposed to various weather conditions.
