Training to hit difficult pitches, and locations; transfers the message to your brain you can hit any pitch. In short, they need to see it to believe it. Why is this so important? If you have self-doubt this reveals itself during your game day at-bats, in the form of “rushing,” and “flying open with the front shoulder;” influenced by your subconscious. Hit Lasers Bat Speed Trainer, Triggered Batting Practice and Laser Reflex set-up; you to track the ball, making contact closer to your body; growing the confidence to stay back and “crush” a dominant game day fastball.

TRADITIONAL BATTING PRACTICE & IMPROPER HABITS

• Your timing is skewed as the “distance-to-speed” ratio differs to facing a pitcher on the mound.
• Taking 10-20 swings in a short time, causes you to “rush” your swing; triggering “pulling off the ball,” “jumping,” “lunging,” and “reaching.”
• The inaccuracy of the Batting Practice thrower triggers players to swing at bad pitches; detrimental to plate recognition.

HITTING TIPS

STEP 1: FOCUS ON AN AREA NEXT TO THE PITCHING SCREEN. AIM TO HIT THE BALL AT YOUR TARGET.

STEP 2: FOCUS ON THE BALL AND CLEAR YOUR MIND

STEP 3: START YOUR LOAD WITH A SMALL TURN OF YOUR FRONT KNEE

STEP 4: STRIDE AS THE BALL RELEASES, AND PLANT YOUR FRONT FOOT BEFORE THE BALL TRAVELS HALF THE DISTANCE FROM THE PITCHING SCREEN TO HOME PLATE.

STEP 5: TRACK THE BALL, MAKE CONTACT CLOSER TO YOUR BODY, AND FOCUS ON THE HATS AFTER CONTACT.
