Here’s How WIN Reality’s Updates Improved My Game
Editor’s Note: My son used to train with WIN Reality, but we canceled our membership because we thought it just wasn’t worth it. Keep reading to find out why we reactivated our subscription.
As a baseball parent and former Little League All-Star, I know first-hand how important practice really is. The more pitches my 14 year old son Jake can see, the better prepared he is for the big games.
So we’ve tried all the training methods — batting cages, a personal swing coach, going to the local field, and even a virtual reality tool called WIN Reality.
When we first tried WIN Reality 2 years ago, it was essentially just a pitching simulator. But the Team Mom told me that they recently added a bunch of innovative features, so we decided to give it another chance.
Why We Restarted Our WIN Reality Subscription:
What we liked about WIN Reality’s earlier version was the ability to hit unlimited pitches from a massive library of 600+ pitchers. Sure, Jake was getting in a bunch of swings, but I felt that there wasn’t enough guidance. Repetition is crucial for improvement, but only if you’re repeating the proper movements to build strong muscle memory.
Enter the SwingAI Trainer. This new tool provides comprehensive feedback on the biomechanics of your player’s swing. All I had to do was upload a video of Jake’s swing to the WIN app, and let the AI do its thing.
The tool evaluates your swing based on 12 key metrics such as stride length, forward move, and pelvis direction at contact. It gives a pass/fail for each metric, so you know exactly which area needs improvement. I was shocked by the level of precision, and Jake loves seeing the visual aids that show him his weak spots.
Jake is great at identifying pitches with proper timing, but struggles with power and keeping his swing path through the zone longer. The SwingAI Trainer immediately picked up on this and developed a personalized training plan to help target those specific areas.
Now instead of swinging aimlessly, Jake is able to practice more effectively and sees tangible results every session. These training plans also seriously help his confidence over the plate, as he’s seeing more pitches and improving each week. Players who train with WIN develop 7X faster vs traditional training alone — amazing!
The Swing AI Trainer analysis tool is a total game-changer. It’s like having a personal swing coach in your living room. The tool picks up on the tiniest details and provides results-oriented feedback. It’s not just about getting in more reps — it’s about getting in better reps, which makes all the difference.
This time around we signed up for a yearly pro membership instead of monthly — which saves us 30% and comes out to less than $1 a day! WIN also gives you a $25 credit toward purchase of a WIN Bat Attachment or Short Bat. We don’t have the most space in our house, so the Short Bat definitely gives my wife peace of mind. Plus, this membership will save us serious time and money going back and forth to the batting cages!
To Recap…
When we first signed up for WIN Reality it didn’t provide the comprehensive training plans I wanted for my son. Now with the SwingAI Trainer and personalized training plans, Jake can focus on refining specific skills with real data to back it up.
These new features have transformed the WIN Reality experience from a nice-to-have to a must-have. If you’re a baseball parent looking for something to help your kid actually improve, this is the tool you’ve been waiting for. Jake’s already making great strides with his game, I’m super excited to see where WIN takes him next!
