Modern softball has evolved far beyond just raw athletic talent and a passion for the game; today’s hitters demand precision, customization, and a data-driven approach to improve their skills.
The concept of an adjustable angle softball tee has emerged as a response to this evolution, offering a unique way for players to train for a wider range of pitch locations and improve their swing mechanics.
Unlike traditional tees that only offer height adjustments, adjustable angle tees allow hitters to simulate real game conditions and challenge themselves to reach new levels of precision.
Softball is not played in 2D, so why has tee work been stuck with just up and down height adjustability for decades?
An adjustable angle tee allows hitters to work on specific bat paths for different pitch locations, helping them learn to stay on plane and attack pitches in all parts of the strike zone.
This kind of practice is critical for hitters looking to improve their consistency, increase their contact rate, and drive the ball more effectively.
What Makes an Adjustable Angle Softball Tee Important for Player Development?
Hitting a softball is one of the most challenging skills in women’s sports, and for good reason.
The ability to make consistent, solid contact with a rising or dropping ball is influenced by countless variables—pitch speed, pitch movement, location, timing, and most importantly, the hitter’s swing path and bat angle.
This is where an adjustable angle softball tee becomes an absolute game-changer.
An adjustable angle tee allows hitters to tailor their swing training to the specific demands of real game situations.
Unlike traditional tees that can only be raised or lowered, an adjustable angle tee lets players work on the exact bat path required to attack different pitch locations.
Whether it’s a rise ball that needs to be driven with a more upward bat path or a drop ball that requires a steeper attack angle to square up well, adjusting the tee’s angle enables hitters to work on these nuanced movements repeatedly until they become second nature.
This kind of targeted practice is crucial for developing muscle memory and improving swing efficiency.
The bat path—the trajectory the bat takes through the hitting zone—directly impacts a hitter’s ability to drive the ball with authority.
By using an adjustable angle tee, hitters can learn how to adjust their bat path to match the ideal attack angle for different pitches.
This means they’re not just practicing hitting the ball; they’re practicing how to hit the ball in the most efficient way possible for each of the 9 different pitch locations they’ll face.
Attack Tee provides dozens of different angle settings, allowing players to make these critical adjustments and train with precision.
Unfortunately, all old school traditional batting tees fail to deliver this level of specificity.
They may have some basic height adjustability, but they leave hitters, parents, and coaches guessing when it comes to the ideal swing path.
And other so-called “adjustable angle tees” on the market often offer just a few pre-set angles, like 0, 4, 8, and 12 degrees.
But these numbers mean nothing without context.
What’s the best angle for hitting a rise ball on the inside versus a drop curve low-and-away?
No other tee tells you, and that’s exactly why so many players end up plateauing in their training.
Attack Tee takes the guesswork out of the equation by using advanced softball data to guide hitters on the ideal attack angle for each pitch location.
Our app instantly tells players and coaches how to set the tee for every spot in the strike zone.
Instead of fumbling around with vague suggestions, Attack Tee makes sure that every swing is purposeful and designed to produce real results.
By training with an adjustable angle tee that offers true customization and data-driven guidance, players can develop the skills they need to dominate at the plate.
Attack Tee vs. Other Adjustable Angle Tees: Why Ours Stands Alone
Limited Adjustability in Other Tees
The couple adjustable angle tees currently available in the market are not really as “adjustable” as they claim to be.
Products like Perfect Swing USA’s tee offer just four fixed angles—0, 4, 8, and 12 degrees—and call it a day.
With just four angles to choose from and zero guidance why to choose a given angle, players and coaches are both limited and uncertain.
Should you set the tee at 4 degrees or 8 degrees for that low-and-away drop ball? What about a rise ball on the outside versus a curve on the low inside corner?
With such limited options, the player is essentially guessing, and that guesswork hinders progress.
Every pitch location in the strike zone requires slightly different path approach.
This is where the Attack Tee truly separates itself.
Attack Tee offers dozens of angle setting options, allowing players to fine-tune their training to match the exact requirements of different pitch locations and swing paths.
But it’s not just more hitting angles, its how the app communicates the range of bat path angles that are ideal for each pitch location hitters face.
No more guesswork, no more uncertainty—just clear, angle ranges that help hitters learn how to handle any pitch they might face.
By providing the flexibility to adjust the tee to any angle, Attack Tee ensures that every swing has a purpose, helping players develop the muscle memory and swing mechanics necessary for game-time success.
Real Science Behind the Angles
Again, Attack Tee isn’t just about providing more options—it’s about providing the right options.
We took extensive data from elite softball hitters and analyzed the attack angles of the best performers in the world.
We didn’t settle for guesswork or arbitrary settings.
Instead, we used real-world data to determine what the ideal bat path should look like for each pitch location.
The Attack Tee app brings this data to life by providing specific, actionable guidance for each of the 9 pitch locations in the strike zone.
This is the kind of edge that hitters need to take their game to the next level.
By using scientifically-backed attack angles, Attack Tee removes the guesswork and helps players build efficient, repeatable swings for every pitch location.
It’s training built on data, designed to make hitters more effective and more confident at the plate.
The result?
Players who train with Attack Tee aren’t just getting better—they’re getting better with purpose.
Full Range of Height Adjustability for Any Player
One of the other unique aspects of Attack Tee is its extensive 2D, up and down, height adjustability–which allows hitters to practice hitting pitches at any height they might encounter in a real game.
With 23.2 inches of height variability, ranging from 23.6 inches to 46.9 inches, Attack Tee is designed to be as versatile as possible for players of all ages and abilities.
This wide range of height adjustability–the most of all batting tees on the market–eliminates the need for players to constantly adapt to the limitations of traditional tees or resort to creative (but impractical) solutions like putting a tee on a bucket to work on high pitches.
Whether it’s a youth player just learning to swing or an advanced collegiate hitter perfecting their mechanics, Attack Tee’s height variability allows for practice across all pitch heights, making it an invaluable tool for hitters at every stage of their development.
Moreover, as young female athletes grow physically and expand their strike zone coverage, Attack Tee grows with them.
You don’t need to buy a new tee every year to keep up with a growing player.
The wide range of height settings means Attack Tee will last throughout a player’s journey—from their early development all the way to elite competition.
This long-lasting utility makes Attack Tee an investment that pays off in both quality of training and value over time.
Superior Durability and Stability: Built for Serious Players
Why Other Tees Fall Short on Durability
The Attack Tee’s iron construction is a game-changer in the world of batting tees.
Many tees on the market are made primarily from plastic or rubber, which may even fall apart for the casual slugger, and come nowhere close to handling consistent use.
Plastic stems crack, and rubber bases tear, leaving players with a tee that can’t withstand the rigors of intense training.
Iron, on the other hand, provides unmatched durability.
The Attack Tee’s iron tee mouth and stem can endure thousands of impacts without bending or breaking, while the base’s iron construction ensures that it remains stable regardless of how hard or how often it’s used.
This means that players can take full-powered swings without worrying about whether the tee will hold up.
Compared to plastic or hollow metal competitors, the Attack Tee’s iron components are designed to last for years.
That’s why we offer a full money-back 2-year warranty on our product.
The cheap plastic tees might get the job done for a while, but they simply can’t match the durability and reliability of iron.
There’s a reason barbell and weightlifting plates are made of the same material—they’re built for the rigors of serious training.
This difference in material quality is what makes the Attack Tee the preferred choice for players who are serious about their development and need equipment that can keep up.
The durability of the Attack Tee also extends to its rubber components. The tee top, made from high-grade specialty rubber, is built to withstand repeated contact with the bat.
Unlike cheaper rubber tops that split or degrade after only a few weeks of use, the Attack Tee’s top remains intact, providing a consistent hitting experience that players can rely on.
One tee for example, the Tanner Tee Original–which is actually one of the more physically durable varieties out there–mostly only breaks down at the rubber tee topper, where the ball goes.
Unfortunately, they don’t let you just replace the short rubber topper though.
It costs $34 each time you replace what they call their Flextop (which includes both a thin plastic stem and rubber top unit combined).
And, as someone who runs a softball training facility, we have placed hundreds of those $34 orders over the years.
The Attack Tee, on the other hand, is an investment that pays off (instead of compounds) over time.
This level of durability means fewer replacements, fewer disruptions, and ultimately more time spent focusing on improving your swing.
No More Tipping Tees
One of the most frustrating experiences for any hitter is when the tee tips over after a strong swing. It disrupts practice, wastes time, and wastes physical energy to keep bending over dozens of times.
Most traditional tees, particularly lighter models, are notorious for tipping over easily, leading to players having to secure them with dumbbells, weightlifting plates, or sandbags.
It’s an inconvenience that should not exist for a tool that’s supposed to make training efficient.
At 17.2 pounds, the Attack Tee’s base is even a bit heavier than the previous best in “less tee tipping competition” out there, including popular models like the Tanner Heavy Tee.
This added weight means that the tee stays put, even when a player makes contact well off the mark.
It also eliminates the need to weigh the tee down with extra weights, allowing players to focus entirely on their swing without the distraction of an unstable tee.
In addition to weight, the base design itself plays a crucial role.
The Attack Tee’s wide, low-profile base ensures that it maintains a low center of gravity, further enhancing its stability.
Unlike other tees with narrow or lightweight bases that are prone to falling over, the Attack Tee is engineered to stay upright, no matter how intense the training session gets.
This kind of stability is essential for developing consistent mechanics, as it allows players to stay in rhythm and keep their focus on their swing, not on resetting the tee.
