02 Dec Isolating Power
ISOLATING YOUR SWING BLAST
“Note, for advanced Laser Blast/Laser Reflex drills you’re isolating the swing’s blasting phase. Begin spread out past shoulder width, back elbow relaxed, minimize movement, weight distribution toward the inside balls of your feet, knees don’t go over your toes and squeezed toward your center of gravity to engage your core muscles, more specifically, the adductor longus; connecting to your hips.” – Recap: 13/08/2016 10:33 PM.

Start with a round of belt high or above middle to inside locations. Track the ball deeper into your contact area and hit it up the middle, blasting with your core. Tell your coach to toss up-and-in, in fact; mix in some balls 6-inches off the inside edge of the plate and try to keep it fair. Swinging the bat with your core is the only way you can hit a dominant +95 mph fastball, especially the up-and-inside location. The Laser Strap keeps you connected to your core power source and prevents you from swinging with your weaker arms; don't fight it. You have to see for yourself. After you crush 5-10 up-and-inside pitches, hitting the ball with backspin and keeping the ball fair; things start to click. From here everything progresses fast. Once you're confident you can handle the up-and-inside power fastball, you can perform the same sequence with any of your favorite hitting drills. Challenge yourself with extreme up-and-inside pitch locations." Recap: 13/08/2016 10:33 PM. Clinton Balgera to Eric Thames

CONFIDENCE TO HIT ANY PITCH
