"How to hit home runs: I swing as hard as I can, and I try to swing right through the ball...The harder you grip the bat, the more you can swing it through the ball, and the farther the ball will go. I swing big, with everything I've got. I hit big or I miss big. I like to live as big as I can." Source: Words of Wisdom (William Safire)
DO NOT READ! A little over 20years ago a 12 year old boy was playing with his basketball in the street on Acto Street, NJ. Some teenagers who were drag racing on motorcycles weren't paying attention and ran him over and killed him. it is said that if you go on Acto Street, turn off your car, and blink your headlights 3 times you will see the figure of him bouncing the ball. Now that you have read this you must post this on 4 other messages in the next 10min, or you will die in an auto accident
Argueably one of the greatest hitters of all time (hits, avg) crouched in the box completely still and was highly successfull. Interesting theory though.
I love this advice, you know.. i try to memorize all your tutorials and then i put them in practice, but specially this was very usefull, thanks a lot!
I hit as much as 3 homeruns a game and I grip the bat tight as shit with my muscles tight aswell. So i don't think this is the only way to do it. maybe in the sence of easing your mind and consentrating on the ball but i wouldn't recomend this
Are you a guy with average strength? Or are you one of those guys with brute force? Maybe you are strong enough to get away with the ultra-tight grip. A-rod one time said he grips the bat so loose that a 3 year old girl could remove it from his hands. I hit about 3 HR's per year so I wouldn't know which works better.
i am right handed. i broke a finger on my right hand and had to tape it to the middle one. unbelievable the difference in keeping my hands loose. the last three weeks of the season were my best three of the year. on my right hand i could only grip the bat with my pinky, index and thumb.
my coach said touse the A-frame like they do in baseball. when i look at all the other teams that bat none of them use the A-frame. my dad says i look tense in the batters box and i dont need to be.
@teddie317 I hate to admit this dork knows what he is talking about when it comes to swings but it is true. I consider my swing better than more than 96 percent of the people that attempt to do any type of swing. This also applies to life. be loose and dont worry about things let things come to you and then react.
Pvelet good point Im one of the the bigs that used to muscle it out. Im 6'5" 240lbs. then my friend who is smaller taught me how to hit with proper technique like you described. wow what a difference. now when I hit home-runs they gone. most times when i really get a hold of it I get out about 350...sometimes 400. but in truth Ive had a lot of home-runs just on good line drives.
my friend is always telling me to stay loose. now that i know what it means, i can start hitting home runs consistantly, instead of about once every twenty at bats.
You know...even though this guy is a bit goofy he has a very good point. I am 6'0" 175 lbs, long and lanky. I overpower most guys within 25 lbs of me because of what he is saying. It is all about bat speed. If you are a monster you can simply muscle it out, but I am no monster. I have a rhythmic bat movement while waiting on the pitch. Good timing, and staying loose until you are about 25% into your swing then flexing to increase the bat speed as it crosses through the contact zone.

when you start the negative movement you should still be loose right and then you should be explosive when you fire the bat . Is that Right?
