TIP #1:
Start taking ALL of your
batting practice with a wood bat instead of metal. Why?
Because the "sweet spot" on a metal bat is much larger than
that of wood. This is one key reason young players learn incorrect
batting technique and develop bad habits - metal is much more forgiving
if you don't hit a ball on the nose. Look at these pictures of this
softball hitter making contact with a metal bat:

Please note, this is
not another "How-To-Hit"
instructional. There are many of these on the market already.
The specialized strength and conditioning drills, along with the
unique information contained in the
Baseball
Program to Increase Bat Speed & Hitting Power, 2nd
Edition,
are designed to help
develop the all-important aspect of hitting known as BAT SPEED.
Increased BAT SPEED means increased HITTING POWER!
"Last year I purchased your publication to Increase Bat Speed
& Hitting Power. I think it is great. I asked my son's coaches
to allow him to only use his wood bat during hitting practice and
before practice I would have him doing the big ball drill. His
coaches would just laugh and thought I was crazy! Well the
results spoke for themselves...my son hit
2 home runs in the last game of the season.
"Well, they don't think I'm crazy
now. They
asked me to join the coaching staff as the team's hitting
coach."
"Since
my son started your program about ten days ago, he has
played 7 games with his high school JV team on a summer league. On
28 at bats, he hit 2 triples, 2 doubles, 5 singles, a few deep fly
outs (good enough for RBI's), and some groundouts enough to move
the runners up. His confidence level is back where it was in
little league.
"I could
hear the parents in the bleachers say comments like... 'This kid's
on fire!' or 'What did you give him for breakfast?'
"Before he
started the program he used to get a lot of walks, strikeouts, and
only a few hits (singles only). I could see his confidence crumble
under pressure situations when his team needed a base hit or a
decent fly ball. Now he can't wait for the next game. By the way
the coach moved him from way back in the batting order to 3rd!
Thanks a lot."

Steve,
"At the beginning of the season my son
could not hit the big boys; his bat speed just wasn't there. Enter
Baseball Fit. He is now leading the league
in batting average (.750), he can hit any pitcher in the league and
his confidence is sky high!
"It is a great feeling for him and me
to see the coaches moving their players back when he is up to bat.
Thanks for the confidence that your program has brought him; that
confidence carries over to all aspects of his game and life!
Great product! Thanks!"
