I've got a glove on a rope to teach you what you need to know about fielding but I haven't finished the website yet. Damnit!

Interesting responses. The product is serious. It is not just a ball on a rope I promise you. I can also attest that noone here has seen nor ever used anything close to the construction of this product. Much time went into the development of the Fastpitch Softball Bumblebee and I can assure you that this product will be a huge asset for anyone who uses it. BTW the online tech support is not for the product itself...it is for how to use it to train your hitters. I have used these trainers for years as a hitting instructor and knowing how to use it is as important as the product itself.
But, I understand the initial skepticism. I wish there was some way to show you how effective it really is. That is what I tried to do with the tester promotion. And as for the testers, they have received their trainers and I am in the process of collecting the data from them. It was purely a promotional thing and nothing more. I asked for no compensation.
I truly thought that this message board consisting of fastpitch softball coaches and parents would be more receptive to the idea that something that would be something cool to try with your hitters.
I am sorry if I have wasted your time and board space.
Sincerely,
Kevin

Kevin good luck with your product. It is often "open season" on newbies here.

Don't get so huffy. Can't we all just get along. LOL
The product you are pitching is not new or novel. It has been a staple of Softball Coaches and Baseball Coaches for at least 60 years. When I was a young lad (30+ years ago), my coach used this same product. Only he just called it ball on a rope and not a bumble bee. Here is an example

I think everyone is just having fun with you because you are pitching it as a new thing. Something that needs product development or promotions. I believe most of the folks on this board have been around the block a few times. Sorry I hurt your feelings.

To all posters that chimed in on this tread,
I am glad all of you had a good time at my expense
But, I would like to make sure that you understand a couple of things. First, I had no idea that having links to other sites in posts was considered SPAM, and for that I am sorry. The second thing I need to speak on is the assumption that I was referring to the Bumblebee Trainer as a new idea. The word innovative refers to how you use the product. On a side note: The Bumblebee is not simply a ball on a rope as many posters insinuated. The products is rock solid in that it is comprised of top quality materials such as 1/4' diamond braided nylon rope, 2 feet of personalized heavy duty shock cord, Diamond fastpitch softballs, custom ordered comfortable foam grip with a safe wrist strap that is fused into the handle and rope itself , and all conections double crimped with heavy duty rings as well as covered with two layers of adhesive filled heat shrink tubing. So, as you can see, this is not quite the 30 year old product that you might have seen in the past. Because of the weight distribution and shock absorbing sections...it is easy to turn and there is no jerking on your arm.
I wish there was some way that I could get a trainer in the hands of everyone that thought this product was a joke. I can assure that you would be pleasantly surprised with the results. Like I said, I have used this trainer throughout my baseball playing career (95 NAIA All American Team, TVAC Player of the Year, three .400+ collegiate batting averages, and hold the majority of all offensive records at each school that I attended) and also is a staple in my hittiing lessons that I give in my community when not coaching my son's teams ( last year undefeated and two one loss teams). I also introduced and used the Baseball Bumblebee to my son's All Star team and represented our city for the first time ever appearance to the Dixie Youth State tournament. The products work wonders for hitters.
I would do anything to get you guys to try this trainer for yourself and see.
Sincerely,
Kevin
BTW...I don't know where the hyperlinks in one of my posts came from...I can assure you that I did not put them there.
