I got this and a bag of 50 golf ball-sized wiffleballs as an additional hitting station for practices for my son's AAA Little League team that I'm managing. The kids love it, they think it's fun to try to hit the smaller wiffleballs. I don't have any real proof, but I believe it's also helping their hand-eye coordination a lot--between the small size of the golf ball wiffleballs and the narrow bat barrel it takes real concentration to make good contact.
I was very impressed with the quality of the bat as well. It's thick-walled aluminum, so even though it's very narrow it feels like it's not going to bend or dent without some real force. Granted these are 9yo boys, so it's probably a matter of time before someone dings it, but it's held up remarkably well so far.
