We love the Kangaroo KageŽ for
baseball because it allows you to practice so many elements of the game.
It is the perfect "pepper" player. It will play with you or with three or
four players, each tossing the ball into the side or back of the Kangaroo KageŽ
and making it bounce off at angles to deflect to a different player each time. The
netting can be tightened or loosened to provide practice at different speed and skill
levels.
The back of the Kangaroo KageŽ, tightened to your needs, makes a
wonderful "catcher" for a player to practice their pitching and/or
throwing. You can throw 90 mph fastballs at the back of the Kangaroo KageŽ
and it will return them at 20mph, 50mph -- you set the netting. Naturally, if you
throw the ball low into the net, it will toss it back high, and vice versa. You can
also pitch to a target tied to the back, either side, or inside the open end of the Kangaroo
KageŽ. And throw some with your "weak" hand -- it helps develop
a stronger weak side to use in hitting.
Then you can hit baseballs into the open side of the Kangaroo KageŽ and
have the ball just roll back to you or jump back out if you want to test your alertness by
tightening the netting. If you have a pitching machine, just set it up at the back
end of the Kangaroo KageŽ and just to the side and it will throw balls
"over the plate" that the hitter hits into the Kangaroo KageŽ
and nobody has to chase the ball. |
