Easton Sports announced its partnership with the Hit-N-Stik brand of training aids from Donik Sports. Effective July 1, Easton will take over exclusive worldwide distribution, marketing, packaging, and overall sales for one of the most effective and versatile batting drill devices available. The new product will now be called the Easton Hit-N-Stik by Donik Sports, according to Kevin Stromsborg, manager baseball/softball products for Easton Sports.
“There are a few knockoffs on the market, but Donik is the first and only company to have mastered the nuances and created the best performing, most durable product of its kind,” said Stromsborg. “Similar to our arrangement with the Alimed Kneesaver and Ogio bags, Easton will provide our significant design and engineering expertise in order to guarantee that the Hit-N-Stik continues to be #1.”
The Hit-N-Stik is quite simply the most effective and versatile batting drill device available today. Its strength lies in its sheer simplicity. It resembles a baseball on the hitting end, with a choice of impact resistant plastic in high-visibility yellow or red. This is attached to a long, flexible shaft made of a special “shok stik” fiberglass compound. This, in turn, is connected to an easy grip handle that is held by the coach or drill partner. The result is a simple, safe, controllable, and non-threatening device that has proven to dramatically improve hitting stance, contact and bat control. It is much more affordable than traditional mechanical pitching devices, and offers more control and safety than any other product. For more information visit www.hitnstik.com.
“Our team at Donik Sports is truly excited to join forces with Easton, the sports equipment and apparel industry leader,” said Donald Gipple, president of Donik Sports Inc. “Additionally, our partnership represents an ideal fit as our top training aid is now paired up with the top bat manufacturer. We've worked hard to develop the Hit-N-Stik into a top baseball and softball training aid, and we look forward to working with Easton to help even more players improve their swing.”
