D-Bat, with locations all over DFW, is a perfect place to do just that - guys can hit up the batting cages to take out all their stress on a baseball or softball.

This "driving range-style" golf game venue uses micro-chipped golf balls, which you hit to aim at target objects on the field. It's fun and only as competitive as you make it! The best part is, you can order some delicious food and drinks, and enjoy them while playing.
