I did pretty bad on the machine today so I need this

As a mom of an 8-year-old boy who knew nothing about baseball at the start of this season, I think these videos are good for all levels. Moms like me can think of drills or ways to get an 8yo to digest information/techniques that might be slightly above his comprehension, but we have to know the basics and sound advice before we can do that. Following advice mainly from this channel, my boy went from 2nd-to-last in the batting lineup to batting 3/4 as a power hitter this season. That slow-swinging boy with an uptight stance become someone the team grew to count on in close games. Before long, he hit his first home-run and then a grand-slam the next game. Now he hits straight up the middle with line drives and hard ground balls, bringing in runs and getting doubles and triples more often. This was in a matter of weeks! If I were reading this comment 3 months ago, I wouldn't believe it was possible for my son, but a few simple tweaks, some tee drills, and a willing boy with a positive, coachable attitude, and after the 4th game of the season, coach was beginning to notice and compliment him. He gave him the game ball for his marked improvement at the plate. Then he began to move toward the middle and then top of the lineup, as he consistently proved himself. Now at the end of the season, coach recommended he move up to a AA select team. You wouldn't know it watching his first two games, and I would have put money on his first home-run being at least a year away, yet here we are. Thank you so much for these videos! It has been a game-changer for my son!

I needed this. I'm 47 and haven't played since I was a teenager. Even in slowpitch softball, it feels so foreign to me. I'm taking this to the batting cage tonight! Thank you for posting!

[Wowzar]

I definitely needed this refresh! Starting to go back after no baseball for a year. Thank you amazing video

This is by far one of the best instructional videos for beginning hitters.

Coach does a fantastic job of breaking down every step. I use this to help teach my 8u coach pitch boys and it has really helped!

Thanks Coach Justin!

Thanks Justin on another great video, with your help I was able to go 4-6 with two doubles during a baseball tournament last weekend

Greatest hitting video I've ever seen.

This was actually a pretty good breakdown. Form looked pretty good. Gonna try it next practice. The people complaining about "talking too much" are probably the ones with short attention spans playing with the dirt on the field.

[bendytendy]

Thanks, haven’t played in a actual game in over five years so this is helpful

[ricksteen]

The only hitting video I have ever seen that teaches exactly what I teach. Let Me add that, in any good load the front elbow has to get back past the belly button. Instead of a load with a leg kick, I teach, push of the back foot as You stride to balance, the lead foot is only about a half inch off the ground, keeps the head very still. Also, a push load is the best timing stride for a Pitcher trying to slow or speedup His motion. Great video.

[randysworldd]

haven't played in 17years. This helps a lot !

[calebwee]

Ive never played baseball, but I love hitting at the batting cage. Gonna learn how to hit with good form, thx!

[kevinmischley]

Justin, I just found your videos and am watching this one as the second....I'm 50 and starting my second year back playing hardball in a 38+ league after a pretty dismal first year back. These videos are awesome, man. To the point, well thought out and concisely explained. I feel like I will be able to apply these tips immediately and it makes me look forward to this season even more. Thanks!

[fishwithjd]

That was one of the best videos I’ve seen explaining the components of the swing. Well done!

My husband is coaching our 8 year old daughter and 6 year old son’s baseball team. I played softball into college so I help out when/where I can as well. Here I am up at 1am watching videos on how to help some of the kids hit on the team. Sometimes it’s hard to break down the mechanics of a swing to show them the right way and your videos do a great job! It’s like, “I know how to swing but I’m having a hard time explaining it to kids.” Great video!

[acidoverride]

Ya I play for my middle school club team, and my main problem was always DIPPING MY SHOULDER and swinging under the ball! Thank goodness some of your other batting videos and this one REALY HELPED! Thank you 👍

[jfmilone]
