Tanner Heavy Batting Tee | Ultra Durable Weighted Claw Base - Stable

In this review of the Tanner Heavy Batting Tee the bottom line is simple: serious hitters who need a rock-solid, long-lasting practice tee will appreciate its stability and build quality. The review focuses on why the weighted claw base and reinforced shaft matter during real batting work, especially for adult baseball, softball and slow pitch players. The Tanner Heavy is aimed at practice environments where the tee must resist being knocked over, stand firm on uneven turf or grass, and survive heavy daily use without becoming a crutch in the strike zone.

Key Features

• Weighted Claw Base: The elongated base with three points of contact delivers maximum stability and minimizes creep so the tee stays put even on uneven surfaces.
• Adjustable Height: One-hand height adjustment lets users set the tee quickly from 26-43 in for a full range of adult hitting drills.
• Durable Construction: Reinforced steel shaft and a flexible rolled rubber cone withstand heavy use and repeated contact over time.
• Removable Stem: The stem unscrews from the base so the tee can fit in most bat bags for transport and easy storage.
• Patented Flextop Cone: The hand-rolled rubber cone secures the ball at impact so hitters feel the ball and not the tee during swings.
• Hand Assembled: Each unit is hand assembled in a Florida shop, reflecting consistent build quality across units.

Who It's For

The Tanner Heavy is best suited for travel ball, youth, college and adult players who need a training tee that can handle frequent, hard use and stay anchored on grass, turf or imperfect ground. Coaches and cage operators will value the heavier base for commercial or team practice environments.

Players who prioritize ultra-light portability over stability or those who only need a tee for occasional backyard use may prefer a lighter model that packs down smaller. This model is intentionally heavier to deliver performance where stability and durability matter most.
