Have You Been Taught To...?
• Keep your front elbow down
• Keep the barrel above your hands
• Don't dip your back shoulder
• Hit the "top-half" of the ball
• Keep your head down
• Swing down for back spin
• Throw your hands at the ball
• Squish the bug
If so, then why do the "big leaguers" do something completely different?

There are only TWO proven hitting techniques: rotational and linear. You either move forward and continue THROUGH the vertical axis (linear, a.k.a. "lunging), or move forward to your balance point, at which time you stay ON or BEHIND the vertical axis, depending on pitch location (rotational). So, by definition, linear is coming forward and hitting ON TOP a flexed front leg; rotational is hitting AGAINST a rigid front leg. Rotational hitting combines a linear phase (stride), then blocking the front side and rotating around a stationary axis (rotational) when the hitter reaches his/her "balance point."
Rotational hitting has been — and continues to be — the technique used by baseball's most PRODUCTIVE hitters and 95% of baseball's Hall-of-Fame hitters. Are YOU being taught rotational mechanics?

Has your son or daughter had “Professional Instruction”? If so, ask yourself the following questions…
•What did my child learn?
•How were they taught?
•Was a video of my child taken on the first day of the instruction?
•Was my child’s progress tracked using video technology?
•Did the instructor explain what issues were impacting my child’s swing?
•Did my child do a drill for the first 15 minutes and then hit soft pitches for the remainder of the lesson?
•Did my child have any adjustments without the aide of video?
•Did my child view their technique with side by side comparisons to today’s greatest hitters?
If you are having difficulty answering any of these questions then it may be time to find a new instructor. Today’s teaching has come a long way and with the use of technology I have the ability to give your son or daughter the extra advantage they need to be a consistent and successful hitter.
The individual lessons typically last about 60 minutes and will include the use of swing motion analysis software that encompasses the player's swing mechanics, as well as frame-by-frame on-screen synchronization with current MLB players. All lessons are done indoors and conveniently located in the Northern Kentucky/Greater Cincinnati area.. Parents are welcome and encouraged to attend, watch, and learn with their son/daughter to make this a one-of-a-kind learning experience.
