    Hey Matt, love your videos. The problem with players being able to grasp the concept with the action is that a lot of players have been given long winded tips, and drills that have been ingrained in them through relation, and usually work counter intuitively against each other. When I work with my players especially the younger ones I had figure out away that was simple to grasp and easier to say. I tell them "Back elbow to belly button" even my 4 year olds know what and where those are. It immediately puts the barrel in the hitting zone also keeping those hands nice and tight, and keeps the knob of the back from facing upward. Just with those to words, try it and see how it works. Let me know what you think.

    By far the best hitting advice out there. I am completely self taught when it came to my swing. I always felt most of what is taught by coaches was always incorrect. I came to the realization of a lot of what he talks about in his videos on my own through trial and error. Right now I am trying to teach my 10 year old some and this video will help a lot. Thank you so much.

    Another excellent video, thanks for the amazing content. Your demonstration with top hand and bat in neck slot is one of the most clear and concise explanations of barrel turn I have seen. The visual of top hand palm pivoting from facing the pitcher to palm up is tremendous. This really simplifies this action. Thanks again!

    WOW!! Matt I love your videos, but in this one you really simplified the turning the Barrel move! I’ve been trying to teach my son this, and he is very armsee when trying to do it... I love how you just kept the bat on your shoulder and let the hands do the work!!👍 Thank you so much for this video and for all the great work that you do!💯

  • @ericschwager3491
    @ericschwager3491 4 года назад

    Great video Matt. Been trying to teach this to my 10 year old. So many reasons why this benefits their swing.Especially on inside pitches. Part of the challenge for younger players is thinking they need to use their arms more to swing harder.

    • @ericschwager3491
      @ericschwager3491 4 года назад

      Another challenge for younger hitters is being able to have good path and quickness when their bat head is tipped towards pitcher vs straight up or little back towards catcher.

  • @mm-rl9eb
    @mm-rl9eb 4 года назад

    Hi Matt, great video as always. By far the best hitting technique anyone can explain.
    Can you please do a video on low-ball hitting. Most of the videos on the turning-the-barrel technique have the tee at mid-thigh or up, so it's easier to get the barrel from the turned, horizontal position to the ball. But what should the path be to knee-high pitches? Thank you!

  • @michaelspadaccini1415
    @michaelspadaccini1415 4 года назад +1

    Matt, in your opinion is turning the barrel the/an approach for all batters regardless of their size, strength, and goals at the plate? I realize it’s about getting on plane, but do you think it applies to smaller, non-power guys or will those types of guys wind up flying or lining out more frequently with this approach? Thanks

    • @Danimal.69
      @Danimal.69 2 года назад

      I gave this advice to a 9 year old who had arms that was just a little bigger than a handle of a bat. He hit it so perfectly and solid that he out slugged a 10 year old (my son) that had a whole foot on him. His smile was awesome and the shock on my son face was priceless. My son started listening to my advice and trying to shorting his swing.

      I really wanted to say thanks for this video and all of your videos. So much information out there without people really explaining the why which leads to a lot coaching bad habits. Everyone is not the same but understanding these simple mechanics creates a strong foundation!

  • @CrankyMonkey05
    @CrankyMonkey05 4 года назад

    Good video. You’ve talked about this before n needed more detail. I would like ur take on how to connect the “barrel turn” approach vs. hitting the ball out front. Both must happen but it is hard for kids to do both. It seems to me, that is easier to build up a swing if teaching this first, then expand from there. Mentally if they focus on hitting out from, it creates long swings then is hard to get them to to focus on barrel turns!! Idk I guess depends on age!

  • @KingStackkz
    @KingStackkz Год назад

    the thing that actually helps me Is watching the swing…because I feel like some people ever complicate the motion. So it’s nice to actually see the swing in full motion and slow

  • @TheLearningCatalystCoach
    @TheLearningCatalystCoach Год назад

    Such an incredibly helpful video. Was trying to explain what was going wrong with my 6 yr old's mechanics(he's doing exactly the "not to do" you showed of looping arms behind). He's hitting the ball well with pure hand/eye coord, but behind/misses sometimes because his hands/arms are getting too far from the body, and his bat acceleration has slowed since the mechanics changed from start of the season.
    It's ok to duct tape his arms so they limit him from reaching/looping, right?😂.

    • @rxw5520
      @rxw5520 11 месяцев назад

      Actually instead of tape you can get a small dodgeball or something to put between his arms and back shoulder/chest and make sure it doesn’t fall out as he brings the bat around!

    Everyone watch Ben Hogan ( legendary golfer ) hit a golf ball from down the line. When he makes contact his arms stay connected to his body and just rotates left through the ball and he never “ flips “ his hands until almost the end of his swing Hogan, a Legendary Ball Striker and he used some fundamentals in the baseball swing for his golf swing

  • @darrenkilpatrick7202
    @darrenkilpatrick7202 4 года назад

    Matt, we are just opening up here in CT. I am still having trouble with: how do you know you are turning the top hand correctly? For example, this video of Derek Jeter ruclips.net/video/y5nebzp2Ijw/видео.html seems to be an armsy swing pulling the bat through the zone and he seems to just get the front elbow turned up and back elbow tucked to turn the triangle into the ball. Also, how do you tilt but not 'drop the back shoulder'?
