Mind blowing. Youth coaches can typically diagnose but it takes a real coach to figure out the treatment through drills. Great stuff! Thank you!

I would like to thank you for your PVC batting tutorial. I have been playing amateur baseball/softball for more than thirty years, and this is the most effective batting practice method I have ever seen. After practicing for a month, my swing extension has improved significantly, and now my slugging percentage has increased a lot!

Never seen the PVC drill explained this well...A1. Love the backchain as well to help get an alternate means of having the mind thinking about it.

Teacherman hitting I think would be a fan. He teaches that snap from the top and more of a Ferris wheel vs rotation. The pvc, I love it. Everyone can perfect the middle middle, it’s when they start crowding the inside because they know you can hit.

Appreciate this video, helps me help my kids out because too much chopping going on!

Two of my favorite guys together talking hitting. Amazing. I share both of your videos with my two teams.. I need to get my teams down to you guys man! Too much snow in New York!

[jbrewer]

[toddlu]

JC in da house! Thanks for the info dudes.

So your first tee drill and last tee drill. I'm missing the purpose and difference between the two. If you followed the same path in the second drill as you did in the first, you'd hit the pole. What's the reason for the tighter swing? Expecting off-speed and getting caught with a 4 seam? Or are they used for progressing your swing and they should always be taught in the order shown? Hope that makes sense.

My son lost some confidence(IMO) going to LL to travel and has been having a hard time getting solid contact again. Felt like more of a mental barrier but now he's changed his swing and is doing some funky stuff. Just trying to sharpen my explanation and drill knowledge so I can help him out. Love the videos guys! Thanks for all the amazing free content!!!

Great drills Coach. You can use the PVC to hit small golf balls off the tee utilizing proper upper body path. The player will not be able to hit the ball off the tee if their upper body isn't taking the proper path.

[MisterSausage]

This is exactly like a golf drill I do. It helped immensely.

[mattharriss]

Excellent Video! Just what we needed. THANKS!!!

[bossxsniperx]

Seems like the bat path drill with the elbows up to hold the pipe steady would help a little with bat drag since it focuses on the rotation of the core and shoulders.

[michealsmith]

Wow thanks for the great clinic! Really makes me realize what a lackluster coach I am. haha good stuff guys!

[Boyzofsummer]

Great stuff !!
Can’t wait to see more
