Rempe ball or Elephant Kit?

[midnightpulp]

Thinking of buying a training ball.

From the descriptions, I like the Rempe ball better, but the Elephant kit does include a specialized object ball. What I don't like about the EB kit is the lack of detailed zones that the Rempe ball has. Seems the Rempe ball would be better in providing feedback.

Anyone out there own both? If so, what device do you recommend?

Thanks.

I have both and use them when I am teaching. I use the EB much more often than the JR ball. The thing I like best about the EB is it will hold the chalk mark much better, so my student can see exactly where they hit the ball as opposed to where they were trying to hit it.

Much of the same stuff can be accomplished with a stripped ball imho. Save your money, and spend it on an hour with instructor.

Oh yeah, forgot about the above.

So, to revise:

JR, EB, or JT?

OK, I have the JT training set as well. EB is still the one I use the most in class.

Light colored striped balls work very well. Care must be taken to note the starting orientation of the ball. We use a 1/4" round label stuck to one side to know which side was left and right when the ball was hit.
