Fishing rod baseball - how to teach kids to baseball - T-ball tips

Hey Luke here with the Outdoor Boys YouTube channel and I'm going to show you how to teach a little boy how to bat. Okay, and I'm going to teach you how to do it like a boss here. Okay, so all of us know about t-ball, that's nothing fancy. I take my surf fishing rod holder, my sand spike, pound it in the lawn, works great as a little t-ball post. All right, nice and easy, just a piece of PVC pipe is all it is. You can see it works good, but there's a big problem. One, you end up fetching the ball all day long, which wears you out faster than the kid, and two, they get your fingers. So I got a better idea. All right, so I've got a nasty old baseball that we found in the woods. It's all like beat up and I put a sheet metal screw in it, tied my mono straight to the screw, and that's all you need. There you go man. Okay, all right, all right Tommy. Here, let me see the pipe. We don't need that pipe anymore. Okay. Good hit, good hit buddy. Okay, focus on it and get it. All right buddy. Good hit, good hit. Nathan, go get Tommy to give you the bat. Okay, now Nathan come here. Stand up here. Okay, there you go. Swing. Watch out. I just got attacked by the ball. You got attacked by the ball? Yeah. You gotta stand over. Watch out Nathan. There you go. Little far, far away. Okay, let's see what happens when daddy hits this sucker. Strip some drag. Nice. Nice, that was a good hit. Now what you do is catch the ball with your hand. Catch it with your hand so it stops spinning around. There you go and put it back so it's calm and reset it. Now look at that. It's still, you get it. Okay, wait. Focus on it. Good hit. All right, good. Let me focus again. Focus, focus, focus. Just focus. All right, so this is a $30 rod and reel set from Shakespeare. I don't know much about sports equipment, but my guess is that's cheaper than buying some sort of t-ball set. Are you trying to hit people with hammers? Tommy, are you having fun? Yeah. Do you like this? Do you like hitting with your bat? Yeah, that's kind of awesome, baby. All right, go hit it. Yay! Tommy, are you under the car crying because Nathan's using your baseball? You want a turn? Why don't you come out here and say please instead of throwing a temper tantrum? Good hit. Is he going under the car now? He does whatever Tommy does. Nathan, are you going under the car too? Focus, focus, focus, focus. That was a good hit. Well, at any rate, I hope you like this video.
