Unbeatable Baseball Hitting Tips

Superb coaching books are written on all aspects of batting mechanics, batting instruction, and hitting drills. Lets look at a few crucial points.

Riveting strategies and vibrant practice planning are always kept simple. Training batting the right way to hit takes time and amazing patience.

The professionals know the remarkable skills it takes youth players to acquire. As a mentor just teach a little compelling coaching at a time and know how to build confidence.

1. Terrific Coaching Tip
The Powerful Stance: Like a Gorilla

The feet are spread almost twice shoulder width. The knees are bent.

The upper torso is slightly bent forward at the waist. The body weight is on the balls of the feet—not flat footed.

Did you know explosive power off wood bats is partially due to having your knees bent during the swing

Decide for yourself. Which batter appears to be powerful, vibrant, and energetic—like he will explode?

One looks like he standing in line for lunch

and one looks like an intense middle linebacker ready to pounce.

Wider feet, bend the knees and the waist forward =competetive player.

2. Drastically Increase Power Instantaneously

How can I experience that exhilarating feeling over and over? Have you ever swung an ax like you chopping a tree?

Introducing palm up—palm down. The secret is to keep your top hand palm pointed to the sky—and bottom hand pointed to the ground as long as possible.

Rolly-polly: If your hands roll-over as you hit the ball you virtually lose significant if not all power off your youth baseball bats.

Imagine the stunning feeling if you rolled over the ax chopping at the dazzling tree.

The same staggering clunk happens in your hitting mechanics when you roll-over hitting the ball.

We have hitting drills to fix the rolly-polly.

3. Superior Baseball Hitting Tips:
Finish Long & Strong

At our clinics, practice, lessons and instruction we hammer home the imperative for a power finish.

The indispensible powerful finish is proof that the swing fundamentals were superbly executed.

The keys are: Two hands on the grip of the bat the entire sensational swing.

>>And the back arm is kept intensely straight all the way through the follow-through.

It should even cause an uncomfortable pain in the back shoulder as it is critically stretched to the limit.

I do not recommend amateur players to rarely if ever take one hand off the bat during the follow through.

Your power drops dramatically.

Professional hitters are able to let go without losing critical power.
