Batting Techniques
Lately I’ve been researching different batting techniques –after all, the best composite bat won’t produce a homerun by itself.
I do know that I am doing a few things bad. For example, I was using one of those donuts to warm up before my turn at bat. Well, guess what? I started noticing that this was slowing me down when trying to hit the ball. It was as if I was “tired” by the time I got to bat. I know, I know, it does not sound logical (after all, we see the pros doing this just before coming at bat), but that is not the case for a not-pro guy like me.
Also, about the batting technique and the motion when at-bat, I will start taking my video camera to the game and ask a friend to tape me, so I can review my swing when I get home.
If you know of a good program (DVD, book, etc) that has some tips or techniques to improve and be a better Baseball hitter, please mention it in the comments.
Do you have any “secrets” you want to share?
Meanwhile, I will be researching this program that seems promising: Home Run Power in 29 Days
Go to mikeepsteinhitting.com. All you need to know about hitting technique. Mike dispels all the time honored myths about how to hit a baseball.
I suggest buying the science of hitting by Ted Williams. He says the root of all power comes from the hips.
