Interesting video with great tips on hitting. I think that a lot of hitting and technique is personal preference and feeling. It's a combination of strength mixed with bat speed and some technique. Don't think, just see it and hit it.
I don't know why people think you need to be jacked like Jeff Hall is to hit home runs. I'm the smallest guy on my team and I hit more home runs than anyone with my Mayhem.
@fadetoblack021 You don't have to be 'jacked' but you have to be able to produce enough power to make the ball travel over the fence. You may or may not have the absolute strength of some of the other guys on your team, but you are either producing more power (speed strength) or have a better swing than them. Or both.
@wookieeassassin I'd say that most fully grown athletic men have enough power to hit a ball over the fence, they just need to have a good bat and the right technique to do so.
I'm not going to say the guy can't hit or anything, but I think he's being unrealistic when he says that if you work hard at BP that you will be able to hit the ball hard/far. The guy is obviously already a large guy and I would assume he played some level of competitive baseball previously. BP is important but if you want to add speed to your swing you need to be lifting weights (squats and core work).
@Ceeef5 You're correct, you need to work on your swing also. Softball/baseball is a sport with a good amount of technique required to really hit the ball well. What I'm saying is that batting practice alone isn't going to add 30-50 feet to your swing unless your swing is absolutely horrid and you correct it.
@wookieeassassin eh...i'm only 140 soaking wet and i put it 350-390 without a shaved bat...these guys eat sleep and shit softball...for them to hit 450-500 a few times a game is spot on for their level of play...bp added a good 70 feet to my swing...you'd be shocked to see what a good coach can do with your swing...i hear u though...im sure being able to lift 700lbs like bret helmer adds to ur distance...
No weights? Hahaha! Please don't insult our intelligence. It's well known that professional slow-pitch SB players hit the weights and the juice hard. You don't build 500' HR power with "BP".
Funny how talks about keeping his elbow tucked to eliminate extra movement. but when he goes to load his moves up and back..hmmm
