T Target was invented by Jerry Maestas of Pueblo, Colorado, after he hired a private coach to help his daughter, Skyleigh, learn how to pitch in softball. During one lesson, Jerry observed the coach placing a batting tee near a target such as home plate, with a large ball balanced on top to serve as a visual target.

Each time the ball was struck, the drill had to stop so the coach could chase the ball and reset it on the tee. These constant interruptions slowed the session and took away valuable coaching time. As Jerry watched the process, he also found himself thinking how can a coach truly teach and see proper mechanics when they are standing so far away from my daughter.

Jerry knew there had to be a better way.

That moment led Jerry Maestas to create T Target. He developed a way to securely mount and hold a ball on top of a batting tee so when the ball is struck, it stays in place. This allows pitching and throwing drills to continue without interruption and gives coaches the freedom to position themselves where instruction is most effective.
