The base generally is made by rubber which is heavy enough so that when the base does not move when practicing. However, the price of the rubber is getting higher and higher that the cost for the baseball betting practice device cannot keep the device to be competitive in the market.

A rod is connected to a top of the base and a weight is received in the receiving space. A cover is connected to the underside of the base and covers the receiving space. A securing unit secures the cover to the base. Thanks to the weight, the batting set is firmly set on the ground.

The shape of the receiving space can be rectangular, ring-shaped, or square and the material for the weight can be pebbles, sands or cement.

Even if the weight is not sold with the batting set, the user can collect pebbles, cement or any material at hand to be the weight. The batting set can be easily stored and the base does not move when using the batting set.

The material of the weight can be easily removed to reduce the weight of the whole batting set so as to be conveniently carried.
