FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
EVERYTHING
YOU NEED TO KNOW
Learn how Shot Collar® Original and La Bomba™ fit into your training, which option is right for you, and why many athletes train with more than one.
Shot Collar® Original is our patented bat weight built specifically for baseball dry swings, on-deck warm-ups, and overload training. It is available in 16 oz, 20 oz, and 24 oz options and is not designed for hitting balls while attached.
La Bomba™ is our patented Live-Hitting Trainer for baseball, fastpitch softball, and slow pitch softball. It is designed to stay on the bat during tee work, front toss, flips, soft toss, and live batting practice.
The two products serve different parts of training: Shot Collar Original prepares baseball players through heavier dry swings, while La Bomba allows baseball and softball players to continue resistance training through contact.
Absolutely. Many baseball players use both because each tool serves a different purpose.
A baseball player may begin with Shot Collar® Original for dry swings, on-deck warm-ups, and heavier overload training. The player can then transition to La Bomba™ for tee work, front toss, flips, soft toss, and live batting practice.
Shot Collar Original is built specifically for baseball bats. La Bomba is built for live hitting with baseball, fastpitch softball, and slow pitch softball bats.
Softball players can create their own two-tool system by training with both La Bomba Quick at 7.5 oz and La Bomba Power at 9¾ oz for two distinct resistance levels and training feels.
One Athlete. Two Tools. One Complete Training System.
Choose your Shot Collar Original weight based on the baseball player’s size, strength, experience, and training goals.
- 16 oz: A strong starting point for younger athletes and many players under approximately 140 pounds.
- 20 oz: Recommended for many players around 145 pounds and above, including JV players and varsity players looking to get loose.
- 24 oz: Recommended for larger or stronger players, including many athletes over approximately 190 pounds and collegiate or professional hitters seeking heavier overload resistance.
Shot Collar Original is designed specifically for baseball dry swings and warm-up routines.
Both La Bomba options are designed for live-hitting training. The difference is the resistance level and how each one feels during the swing.
- Quick | 7.5 oz: A lighter training feel for rhythm, barrel awareness, bat control, and higher-volume hitting work.
- Power | 9¾ oz: A heavier option designed to add more overload resistance during tee work, front toss, flips, soft toss, and live batting practice.
Baseball, fastpitch softball, and slow pitch softball players can choose the option that best matches the day’s training goal. Many athletes train with both.
No. Shot Collar Original is a baseball bat weight designed for dry swings, on-deck warm-ups, and overload swing training. It should be removed before hitting a baseball or softball.
For a resistance trainer that can remain on the bat during tee work, front toss, flips, soft toss, and live batting practice, choose La Bomba™.
Yes. La Bomba was designed specifically as a Live-Hitting Trainer that stays on the bat through contact.
You can use La Bomba for:
- Tee work
- Front toss
- Flips
- Soft toss
- Live batting practice
La Bomba is built for baseball, fastpitch softball, and slow pitch softball.
Yes. La Bomba has a 2⅛-inch inside diameter designed to accommodate slimmer softball barrels while also fitting baseball bats.
On softball bats, La Bomba fits the slimmer barrel profile. On baseball bats, it naturally sits lower on the bat, just above the handle.
Its patented Flex-to-Fit™ design allows the connected panels to flex open and adapt across different barrel sizes.
No. Shot Collar Original was designed specifically for baseball bats.
Softball players should choose La Bomba™, which is designed for fastpitch and slow pitch softball barrels and can also be used for live-hitting training on baseball bats.
Traditional bat donuts and loose bat weights can feel like separate accessories moving on the bat.
La Bomba uses flexible material and patented Flex-to-Fit™ technology to hug the bat securely. Testers describe the result as feeling like part of the bat rather than a clunky accessory.
The connected fit is also designed to stay quiet and secure without the distracting rattle athletes often notice with looser weighted trainers.
Do not slam the unit onto the bat. Shot Collar Original and La Bomba are designed to grip the bat, so excessive force is not necessary.
- Drop the unit over the bat barrel.
- Let the flexible panels open naturally around the barrel.
- Give the unit a small push with your thumb to seat it securely.
- Take your training swings.
The patented Flex-to-Fit™ design allows the panels to flex open to accommodate different bat profiles.
When training is complete, remove the unit with a simple twist or a few light taps.
Think of the tapping motion like gently dribbling a basketball: a few controlled taps help release the unit from the bat. There is no need to yank it off or use excessive force.
Easy On. Easy Off. Twist or Tap Off.
Both products use patented Flex-to-Fit™ technology designed to grip the bat without scratching, digging into, or damaging the barrel during normal use.
Let the panels flex around the bat and use a gentle thumb push to seat the unit. Do not slam it onto the barrel.

our story
why shot collar?
We got tired of seeing players distracted by stuck bat weights, telescoping handles, popping caps, smashing sensors, and breaking knobs. After Mike's son broke his own bat after only 4 days when trying to remove a traditional bat weight, Shot Collar was born. On the field and in life, we aim to find solutions and go beyond the norm.
