Hey Calm Sea, thanks for the question! It's the hand path that stays the same, the angle of the spine controls the path the bat seeks. Hope this helps out!
Hey Mister Man, great question! The mechanic, as far as the hand path goes, that we teach is "direct hand path to the ball as one unit." The athletic individuality we teach is that there are many cues to get the mechanic... meaning things like 'knob to the ball' work for some players and not so much for others. It is a great cue, but we help players find the sensation that works the best for them to apply the mechanic. So if a player resonates with "knob to the ball" and their hand path is good, then it works great. Hope this makes sense and answers your question! Thanks for commenting!
@@ProSpeedBaseball most of the kids I'm coaching have a long swing, so I'm working with them to be direct. Some have adjusted quickly, others still a work in progress.
Hey Joe, thanks for the comment! This lesson applies to all hitting, everything we train to do is to be optimal in a game off of good pitching against a good defense. So the techniques in this lesson directly applies to pitched balls as well! Hope this helpsout!
@@ProSpeedBaseball how could what you teach be optimal for hitting pitched balls when you never show us you hitting pitched balls? You never hit the ball solidly because ever time you hit the ball you hit the tee as well, which means you're hitting the bottom of the ball and if those balls were being pitched you'd be hitting pop ups.
This is great. It's so simple but makes so much sense and it's so easy to apply without "changing" each players swing too much
Thanks Jason! Glad you like it!
Great
Where did you get the numbers .100, .400, and .800? I am not disputing them I just always like to be able to back up what I preach.
Correct me if I’m wrong. Your arm swing stays the same it’s just the angle of your spine that changes?

Great video
Why do you always release the bat after contact?
Do you teach knob to the ball?

Alex Rodriguez would agree with you!
That’s all fine and dandy when you are hitting off the tee, when a ball is being pitched all this changes😎
