A MESSAGE FROM THE CREATOR

“Knowing, the pitcher delivers multiple pitch-types, why does the hitter train, one hitting method? Presenting our groundbreaking, Multi-Swing Method; hitting mechanics for the 3-dimensional contact zone (height-depth-breadth). Coaching, players to hit for a high batting average, and big-boy power; to all fields. Training our Multi-Swing Method is your decision; our Hit Lasers Bat Speed Trainer morphs to your body/mechanics, therefore, you can hit your way.”

Clinton Balgera, Inventor of Exoprecise technology, driving our Hit Lasers Bat Speed Trainer, and creator of the Multi-Swing Method.

CONTACT ZONES AND MECHANICS

All hitting methods fall under the top level category of time, and distance, more specifically; distance from your body at contact. Your swing path is dependent on pitch location, velocity, and movement. High, low, extended, deep, inside, outside; ball dropping, sliding, and so on. Additionally, your reaction time, body type, swing movement, and style. Therefore, distance and the time it takes to get to the action point is the top-level category for hitting, superseding the subcategory mechanics; for the importance of the event.

BALANCING THE SWING

To be a complete hitter you need to practice top-hand, and bottom-hand mechanics, for example, M.M.A fighters require an excellent stand-up, and ground game; otherwise, opponents attack their weakness.

THE TOP AND BOTTOM HAND

Coaching the mechanics, hitting any pitch, in any location; the Multi-Swing Method identifies the critical role of the top-hand, making contact closer to your body. Conversely, the bottom-hand, making contact away/extension.

STEREOTYPE MECHANICS

During the past “big league” coaches, teach a top-hand dominant swing; seen with many H/T R/R players. Gearing up, looking for a slow, and high mistake pitch. The problem? Sometimes pitchers do not make mistakes; leading to the high strikeout rate, in the modern MLB era.

• Top-hand dominant hitters: use a two-hand follow through, hitting at a mid-range contact zone, however, struggling with both; up-and-inside, and low, and outside.
• Bottom-hand dominant hitters: use a top-hand release follow through, hitting the low ball, however, struggling with contact closer to the body; commonly, an up-and-inside fastball.

Swing Assessment Table

Top/Bottom Hand Dominance And Mechanics

The following table is designed for players, using a one-dimensional swing (the same swing style, all the time), combining the information about B/T and follow through, identifying mismatches between the top/bottom hand dominant swing; and the mechanics, naturally, suiting the top/bottom hitter.

Multi-Swing Method 101

Mechanics Starts With The Mind

The subconscious mind controls your reflex system, processing information 1000’s of times faster, comparing to the conscious mind. Consciously, thinking about swing mechanisms disrupts the lightning-fast, reflex system. When you’re “in the, hitting zone” AKA “locked-in” the eyes control your timing, spotting the ball early, releasing from the pitcher’s glove.

Multi-Swing Method: Mechanics And The Mind

1. Slow-mind (conscious), hitting the slower pitch.
2. Fast-mind (subconscious), hitting the faster pitch.
3. Hybrid of the conscious, and subconscious mind, hitting the challenging pitch early in the batting count.

Reflex, Think, Hybrid

• Reflex Mechanics: Hitting in the subconscious state of mind, activating the reflex system; the pitch is unpredictable, for example, hitting with two-strikes.
• Think Mechanics: Conscious, elongating mechanics, anticipating the pitch you can handle, early in the batting count. Thinking, about the triggers, for example, timing; “lift the front leg, now,” pitch selection; “see something slower-and-hanging, getting the barrel in-front of home plate.”
• Hybrid: Anticipating the challenging pitch, switching, to an automatic/subconscious state of mind; stepping in the box.

THE BODY

Comparing mechanics for multiple contact zones, there’s a difference in the swing circumference, the height of the back elbow, movement of the stride, and the use of top, and bottom hands on the follow through. For example, adjusting the height of your back elbow, depending on the pitch you expect to hit; correlating to your batting stride, swing path circumference, follow through, and mental approach.
