Want that perfect hit every time? It’s all about setting the batting tee to the perfect height to ensure that the hitter has a consistent strike zone. When it comes time to set up the batting tee, what height should you choose? Read on for details to help you decide the batting tee height that will work best for you.
Whether used for baseball or softball, professional sports or little league, the batting tee should be placed where the batter expects to make contact. Typically, the best height for the batting tee is just above belt level, so keep in mind this will change depending on the player’s height. If a player is struggling to hit the ball at this level, make minor adjustments up or down.
The distance at which the batting tee is placed away from the batter is just as crucial as batting tee height. As the batter stands at the base, place the tee on front of the batter according to their swing, as follows:
If hitting using an “L” elbow swing, place the tee where the batter’s front foot lands after the stride.
The tee can also be placed at certain locations in front of the batter depending on the pitch in order to keep the ball fair.
Placing the batting tee at the correct height and distance from the batter will help to develop better batting habits. Try these tips today and see how your batting accuracy improves!

If you are looking for a tee that is approved and used by professionals look no further, the G Tee is for you!
In the eight years as the head coach at Biola University, we have gone through many hitting tees. Typically at the end of each season, we would dispose of all the hitting tees because they were literally in pieces by the end of season. Each year we had to start all over with a new set of tees! It wasn't until we ordered our first G Tee that we were able to begin a collection of tee sets that have lasted over three years and counting! We absolutely love G Tee and won't be using any other product!

I have been coaching for over 20 years, and the G Tee is the first batting tee that has withstood the everyday rigors of practice.

The G Tee has truly changed my opinion of those annoying hitting tees that fall over constantly on a mishit. In my 23 years of playing softball, this is the most logical hitting tee that I have used. Not only is it durable, but it is easy to assemble when using the different tee attachments, extremely portable when traveling from my practices and personal hitting lessons, and stands upright with the help of the 10 lb. weight. So happy that I was introduced to the G Tee; will never use another hitting tee from this point forward.

I love the no tipping over and the durability. I love this tee so much that I have shared this info with some of my big league coach friends and players.

The G Tee is the best stationary batting T you can use, period! It’s strong enough to handle whatever punishment you give it and light enough so you can easily carry it wherever you need to go.

I love it!

I’ve been in Professional baseball since 2004. I love the G Tee, I use mine every day and it’s greatly improved my game. Being a power hitter I’ve always had to deal with the slight upper cut in my swing and I really like the high tee feature of the G Tee. It’s helped me learn to get on top of the baseball and drive it with some back spin the right way. So I highly recommend the G Tee for anyone who is looking to improve their game.
I’ve been playing Professional baseball since 2006. I’ve used every other tee out there and by far the G Tee is the best there is. It goes to every height I want, it goes up to my shoulders to do my high tee work, it goes down right below my knees to get my low ball work in, so it’s the only tee I take to the field. It fits easily in my bag, it’s very portable and it’s the only tee I’ll ever use.
