 "Bret and Kyle really know the art of hitting. Not only did they teach me how but first explained to me why. The suggestions were very simple and although I don't feel that different, my bat speed gained 10 mph after one session. I know they want to and will help me be a better hitter"

- Ben Mersky, Senior standout at Hershey High School

The Plane Truth

Keep The Main Thing...The Main Thing The main thing when hitting a baseball is that moment in time when the ball meets the bat. And, the manner in which you believe this occurs sets off a chain reaction that affects everything else.
The Symptoms The Stride Option A - Hitter will stride to an open foot. Option B - Hitter will glide to a closed position The Hands Option A - Hitter will not load as it will prolong an already slow swing. Option B - Hitter will "scap load" and instinctively put himself in an ideal loading position. Hand Path Option A - Hitter will "cast" the barrel like a fishing rod because, in his mind, the hands need to start NOW. Option B - Hitter will allow the hands to work efficiently and stay "connected" to the body. The Back Half Option A - Hitter will have "stagnant" back leg and hip action Option B - Hitter allows his back half to assist in rotation. Radius of Hands Option A - Hitter will force hands away from the body. Option B - Hitter will allow for a close position to the body. This maximizes swing efficiency. Barrel of Bat Option A - Hitter's barrel will decelerate as it is cast away from the body. Option B - Hitter's barrel will accelerate as it is swung with a circular handpath. Posture Posture Option A - Hitter's body will lunge or lean to adjust to different pitches. Option B - Hitter will adjust to pitches with his feet and knob of the bat. Finish Option A - Hitter will finish as far as the back arm can extend. Option B - Hitter will finish as far as the lead arm can extend.	Option A - "The Wrist Roller" = WRONG The first thing we ask students when we work with them is, "where do you want to be at contact?" In other words, if I were to take a snap shot of you right when the ball meets the bat, what would you look like? A staggering amount of students present us with Option A - "The Wrist Roller". They extend their arms out and roll their top wrist over the bottom hand. This causes the barrel to get out in front of their hands and gives the look of a perfectly good contact point. Unfortunately, when I see this position I know with complete certainty that this hitter isn't maximizing his potential. Why?  Your belief determines your outcome. "The Wrist Roller", in an effort to have his arms extend and to wrist roll at contact will unfortunately, go through a series of poor movements in order to make that happen.
	Option B - "One up...One down" = RIGHT The ideal method of hitting. A select few hitters show me a position of one palm up...one palm down (see picture above) at the crucial contact point. This position is a strong position. If I take the barrel of the bat and push against it, the player can offer maximum resistance. How does the elite hitter get to this position? By rotating his torso while his arms "stay connected" to his core. This is a very explosive movement where the larger muscles of the body move the bat into a contact position with maximum force and velocity. Knowing where you want to go provides the essential foundation for a high level swing.
