I like both half-bat and the cam wood bat. The main reason I think they can be helpful is the feedback is built into the device. You do not need to instruct them every swing if they are doing it correctly.
I really like the idea of the pro-velocity and decided to buy it. I think it will be a great training aid. I also bought the half bat as that seems like a fantastic training tool too. If I could do it over again. I would buy just the one hander camwood not that i dont like the big one but the pro-velocity is a much better option.

I did get the double tee with the camwood and it is a very nice tee.

Use camwood bat and a plastic bag for over/ under training. Two swings with CW, then two with plastic. Then two with game bat with the mindset of swinging as fast as you did with the plastic bat.
The other gadget I like but haven't used in awhile is the line drive pro. It's the tennis ball throwing device that attached to your bat. Teaches rhythm and direction. I am going to dig it out today.

Just an update to this. The pro velocity bat while I think is great and worth the money is not for a 12 year old girl. Even on one band her swung was too slow to get the barrel moving fast enough to hit off the tee. This is definitely geared for older kids/adults. The half bat on the other has been great too for under training. We have a light flight machine and will be using the whiffle balls with it. I did purchase the swing trainer usa tee someone on here was telling me about and I will update this once we receive it and use it a bit.

Tennis balls work great with flat bats when working tee, front toss and bounce pitches.
