Baseball Coaching:Hitting Drills & Techniques
A great combination of instruction and creative hitting drills. This program will become required viewing for youth baseball leagues. --Bruce Lambin, Youth Baseball CoachThe drills presented to reinforce training are all fully field-tested, in the very highly recommended instructional resource accessible to baseball players ages 7 and up. --Midwest Book ReviewHitting a spherical object with a cylindrical bat is not as easy as it sounds: luckily for little leaguers, trainer Bobby Woods has come up with strategies to turn a swing and a miss into a powerful swing that connects. In Hitting Drills & Techniques, produced by Marty Schupak and the Youth Sports Club, Woods focuses on bat selection (noting that a lighter bat gives the hitter more speed that a heavier bat), proper grip (the old method of knuckle alignment is not recommended), and stance. Woods also shows players how to maintain balance while keeping their power in reserve for that sweet moment of solid contact (the key lies in correct positioning of the feet and proper weight transfer during the swing). In addition to techniques, the program features excellent drills, tips for keeping one s eye on the ball, and suggestions for relieving youngsters stress. Recommended. --Video Librarian Magazine
