Three height options ensure the right fit for youth players, adult hitters, and low-ball work, making this tee as versatile as it is tough.

FAQ
Which height option should I choose for my child?
For players ages 8 and below, the Youth/Short model (20-32 inch) is the right fit - it's sized to match the shorter stance and swing path of younger hitters. For players ages 9 and up, the Adult/Standard model (26-43 inch) covers the full strike zone and will grow with your athlete through their competitive years. The Low Ball option (16-23 inch) is a specialty choice for any age when focusing specifically on low-pitch training.
Is the Tanner Heavy Tee suitable for softball?
Yes - the Tanner Heavy is compatible with baseball, softball, and tee ball. The Flextop and stem are built to handle the wider diameter of softballs without any issues.
How does the height adjustment work?
The Tanner Heavy uses a friction-fit design that allows one-handed height adjustment. Simply loosen, slide the stem to your desired height within the available range, and let the friction lock it in place - no tools required.
Can I travel with this tee?
Absolutely. The stem detaches from the base, making the tee much more compact and easy to pack into a gear bag or vehicle. It's a practical choice for players who train at multiple locations.
Is the 10 lb base heavy enough to stay stable on turf and dirt?
Yes - the three-point claw base is specifically designed to grip surfaces and resist tipping. The 10 lb weight combined with the claw design keeps the tee firmly in place across grass, turf, dirt, and hard surfaces.
