hey_ÁnYônè_wÀÑnÅ_chãt_wîth_mê_­ì_fëêl_sÔ_lÔnÈlÿ_tôDãy*

[AntoinetteAcosta]

nice ;)

[2001ALS2008]

a demonstration would have been appreciated O:

and your old.. how strong's YOURR body ?

[wogdoggy]

you pull the bat thru the zone,,,you have to turn the barrel and supply handle torque

[imridinwithobama1315]

@wogdoggy wow that sounds nerdy

[seelkadoom9000]

some mofo turns off electricity in our apartments constantly so im planing to get a baseball bat

[cano24dez]

lol hes wearing sketchers

[DareSnare]

Yes u do want bat lang because the correct swing involves throwing the knob of the bat to the baseball which causes bat lag.. if are throwing the barrel to the ball that is wat causes extension

[paynefitness]

This video says it. Increase your swing power guaranteed. Visit "PFP Usage 1" on youtube. Amazing results!

[basepadz]

you dont want bat lag... that makes your swing loopy and longer... but the rest is really good:)

[natftw]

@basepadz Bat lag is important....it creates the 'fling" through the zone that creates bat speed. The hips start the swing, not the arms. Now, a swing that is casted(hands go away from body) makes the swing loopy and longer. Bat lag = power young fella.

[flavaBsquankinghoes]

guys check out my video its about rotational hitting start at 143 its em hitting live its just rotational hitting just type in cory falvey its the first video

[SuckingBallsYumYum]

lol @Ruskivolk114

[TheManOfBlues]

lol 'get to the weight room.' it certainly will help but you don't need to do that. ken griffey wasn't the strongest guy out there. back to back seasons with 56 homers. when you get the mechanics down and your swing smooth, that ball will sail.

[mikey2312]

@TheManOfBlues Griffey had an enormous amount of natural talent. He was against hitting the weights, but he also fell off hard at the end of his career. For 99% of the people out there, hitting the weights and working hard is going to be what's required because athletes like Griffey are sparsely scattered across a generation.

[THEOMGProduction]

@TheManOfBlues

"You dont need to"

But its great if you do.

[cfl990]

@TheManOfBlues ARe you saying he wasnt a big strong guy? cuz you most definately be wrong

[MrTreskate]

hey orville redenbocker

[zac24]

@JBud22222, bat speed is vital but strength plays a big role too.

[JBud22222]

@zac24 very true

[janco1095]

95% of all teens would go into a panic if Miley Cyrus was on a 100 foot building about to jump. copy and paste if you are the 5% who yelled "jump bitch"

[Bigslugga12]

yo buddy in one game i had three at bats and bombed 3 homeruns so uhh

[MrDJGoodman]

@Bigslugga12 Dont brag, please, it makes you look very dumb

[jacob9278]

@Bigslugga12 wiggleball doesnt count :\

[RMAworld]

@Bigslugga12 wow FAIL i bet you can't get a single if the pitcher TOSSED you the ball, GTFO youtube and go brag to your mother :P

[TheGREATEST95]

im not gonna lie but i dont do any baseball apart from in school and with the fastest bowler in school i hit 5 home runs from 5 balls im not bragging or anything but i think i am natuarly talented

[JBud22222]

"need to get into the workout room to get stronger"? boy oh boy could you be any farther from wrong.....you dont need to be strong to hit the ball far, you need a quick swing which requires you simply to swing a bat....swing a bat many many many times, take it from me, during high school i went to the weight room 1 time my entire career, hit over 25 home runs during my 5 years....no weight room needed, just baseball drills

[Lotsoffun111]

@JBud22222 And Take it from me then you werent a power hitter. hahahhahah 25 HR is almost 5 years of baseball? Im assuming you were just a SS or a 2nd basemen and never reached higher then 5'8 when in High School?

[dyyylllaannn]

Excellent job and discription. my son had somthing click while watching and understands now.Thank you fror posting the correct way to swing.....

[Scoob023]

heck no

i used the eastin imx last year and that thing was the best bat i've ever had. I play varsity too, and hit 15 home runs with it last year

[italywolf95]

tpx dude

[DontMessWithToby]

Hey guys my name is Toby, and i am playing varsity baseball for high school, and i am buying a bat soon, which of these 3 bats should i buy? Either....

Easton Stealth imx 2009

Tpx Exo Grid 2009 or 2007

Demarini cf3 black 2009

[paintballer070]

this dude is teaching rotational hitting....

[derekj54]

who is this guy trying to teach? actual people who play baseball or people who have never heard of baseball?

[drummer4life7271]

no get the rawlings pp110 fastback model its a great glove for a great price

[Squorf]

keep your weight on your back leg but thanks for the tips!

[2012cvhs]

I know this comment has nothing to do with batting, but i've having trouble deciding between two gloves. A Nokona Black Shadow or a Miken Elite Player

Which is better???

[texasneale]

Get Neither, save your money up and get a Wilson A2K or a Rawlings HOH or PP instead.

[bobbydthedude3]

get a rawlings pro preferred

[terminator2009ful]

he drops his right elbow

[billcavazos]

He didnt really say anything good hitters dont know already. He needs to mention the key points that make improving bat speed all the difference in the world.

[cjekuz335]

not rly, wen you swing you dont want to "fold over your back leg like in 1:45. thats wrong! dead wrong, you want the ball of your foot on the ground and only the heal to half way through the arch of your foot off the ground

[sun2devil]

I think his foot movement was just exaggerated because he didn't put any weight into it. His foot over-rotated in that movement too.

He doesn't specify to come up on the toes there, so he probably did that by mistake since his focus was on getting people to buy into the idea of being ahead of the bat with their stride/rotation mechanics.

[vegasgolf25]

This exactly the correct way to swing. No one else on YouTube has posted anything close to this. If you are a non-believer, watch MLB players at contact and you will see this exactly how they swing. I played D-1 baseball in Louisiana, coach college and I am currently a hitting instructor in Las Vegas.

[Ellodeycallmesexy]

Before i start, i wanna let you know that i definately respect your credentials. With that said, i'm gonna politely disagree with your comment. First, i don't think there is an "exactly correct way to swing." My proof? The MLB. Take a look, most of the swings are incredibly ugly! I think this goes to show that confidence trumps mechanics. What do you think?

[vegasgolf25]

I agree confidence plays a roll. However, to be consistent and have longevity proper mechanics will always win out.

[Ellodeycallmesexy]

Always? Damon? ha, God bless the guy, but he's the ugliest ballplayer to watch. No no, i understand where you're comin from though. It seems to me that you like to go by the Charlie Lau type hitting?

[Assassin4628]

I agree and disagree. I have played baseball for about 10-12 years now. I practice pretty well, if not, everyday in the summer for a couple hours a day. I still have no power. I have gotten good at constant abse hits, but very few to no home runs. I have tons of confidence, and have tried MANY different mechanical swings, but cant generate power. I am an avergae build guy too. I think you need confindence AND mechanics. Nothing pisses me off more then natural talent!!! haha

[Ellodeycallmesexy]

I agree assassin buddy! A hitter needs both confidence AND mechanics, but think of it this way -- at an important time in a game, i'd rather have the player who's a bulldog (or silent assassin, :] ) at the dish who thinks (and knows) he can hit that round thing square, rather than a guy with good mechanics. But obviously i'd take the guy that has both confidence and mechanics over either of those two any day, ha.. But if i didn't have that guy, then i'd take the confident one.. Any thoughts?

[Budanater]

keep your weight on your back leg!!!! d*ck

[Blahst3]

as you watch in the beginning his front leg is straight and his back leg is bent so im pretty sure he is.

[facetouchsk8]

this is so wrong they will have no power when they open up. talking about using your whole body hes using his arms

[Blahst3]

No its not wrong your power comes from your back leg sliding it forward would abuse the power in the attack on the ball. And hes not only using his arms hes showing the position of the leg and the arms he doesnt acctually swing so sorry your wrong MLB players have a swing like that.

[atrent44]

this is the same swing that every pro hitter uses... take a look at hamiltons swing or mannys.... the exact same stuff

[lovonia]

If you use the swing he is ATTEMPTING to teach, then the batter will have no power and will not be able to reach the outside corner because his front shoulder is flying open. also his weight is on the front foot of his swing, causing a lack of balance and making the batter lunge at the ball, so if you were to make contact with the ball you would hit a routine ground ball or a week pop-up.

[Jimchapper]

ok what he is saying is right... what he tried showing actually sucked...

[giantluke24]

this guy is worse than my high school coach

[Eliza1994617]

is that why u suck

[Halo3minute]

or... what?

[yellowdog3000]

[SweetKooshy]

[livetennessee]

probably...

[SweetKooshy]

right on dude lol.

[MRzzHAT]

wow your an idiot. is that all you have in your life is going on youtube and guessing on other peoples size.... thats just embarassing.

[chaserein11]

well if his dick is tiny than u will feel like an asshole for saying that

[MRzzHAT]

no why would i feel embarrassed. the point of my comment wasn't to say anything about his size it was about what the guy spends his time on and that he is quite pathetic for using it in the way he does

[switchpitcher]

hell id go all the way up to push her off

[testtubebaby69]

i agree with u

[LTandlonghornfan81]

@chickmagne55 id tap that 

[mrodnumber6]

[kickyahteethinson]

[swissyboy19]

[jumpinj44]

good hes a good batting coach. unlike juan carlos in teh other vids

[illmaulili]

Excelent, this helped me out so much.

(I play babe ruth, West side) adreoli.

anyways, Improved my swing. Hit my first home run this afternoon. Made my day, can only thank this video.

[ALBOMAFIA7]

lmao ya what do u play soccer u pussy

[Gerling2day]

keep playing your xbox, because nobody cares about what a loser like you has to say. Yes, we all know you are an awesome dude behind the keyboard, but in reality, you wish you could sniff the jocks of these so called queer bags. By the way, Jedi Mind Tricks are only fantasy, so before you get really pissed off and try one of your mind tricks on a baseball player, consider the fact that they are experts at focusing all their power at the moment of impact!

[cooldud11122]

I'd love to meet you someday so i could whip out my baseball bat and beat the life out of your dumb bitch self.

[momentinpassing]

I was going to comment on how to hit the ball harder when I realized that I don't care to try to convince anyone of a method that would help them achieve something meaningless.

Oh what the hell, the chain of muscle and bone from bat to ground should be highly rigid at the moment of contact. Flame or don't. Try it or don't. If you do it right it'll feel like you've run full tilt into a wall. The painful force you feel surge through you upon impact is equal to the force going into the ball.

[Gazzy150]

lol, i can see your ass

[xcantt0uchth1sx]

finally a good vid from expertvillage

[hockeyrox3000]

great camera!

[kongking948]

Good help.

[guitars1776]

do a lot of forearm excercises because u use a lot of wrist and forearms to get ur bat around

[greenbayskater]

TRUE THIS IS HOW U HIT

[mdboy15]

you guys that say he is wrong are fucking dumb, I dont think a guy that has his own DVD on how to hit, and who coaches college baseball and scouts for the MLB is wrong, your the one who is wrong, and if you have your own "technique" put it up HERE, otherwise shut the fuck up.

[TheAnnoying12YearOld]

but you also have to realize that some people are actually coached by former baseball players/coaches (as i am myself). I will agree with you, some of the things he says here is true, but other things are completely wrong. But that's also based on your batting stance, strength, expereince, ect.

[Ilikepies247]

this was helpfull

[wolfoo88]

its called letin your hip whip your bat hes right

[Packofwoods100]

ur timing is all wrong

[speedswing17]

Your hips are already open before you start swinging, that takes away your power. And when you don't use your top hand and bring it over your going to pop everything up

[wilsonpd64]

i like this guy :)

[staples7878]

your hands are wrong

[UWSP257]

First!
