  • I dont car how a guy swings theres a million different swings the player with the second most hits in baseball didn't even have both hands touching I like the drills though very interesting

  • swing strengthener. com

  • wow, ur good at explaing things Coach Buford

  • why not show the actual drill in action?

  • @RWDSJ torque. you must go backward to go forward

  • This guy is a joke. You never wanna make initial contact with the baseball on your back hip. you lose so much power. You wanna catch everything out in front of the plate. And you also wanna keep your weight back and have proper weight transfer. Without proper weight transfer, you'll be an awful hitter. If you watch a major league baseball player swing, all of them have excellent weight transfer. Which is why they are playing major league baseball and this guy is coaching college ball.

  • if u keep ur wait back. how do you get any power? you have to transfer yur weight at the right time

  • This is a great Video for new coaches coaching 12 and under.

    Hard topic to teach.

    To keep your body from moving forward you take a 2 - 3" Short Soft Stride with your foot keeping your weight back on the loaded leg.

    When you start the swing twist your hips throwing your back hip at the ball NOT forward, the hip turns toward home plate while you throw your hands at the ball. Hit 1000s of balls off the to get your timing for starting hands and hip down. Coach John
