I’ve gone through every swing change; from a baseball swing and everything in between. I agree with what Mac said about finding yours and being relaxed. I try to take my hands straight back and straight through and cut it out front. If I need to elevate I lean slightly back which gives me a different swing path but I keep everything the same. I like Nino and Mac cause they’re smaller guys who hit absolute nukes and piss missiles. Great vid

[@BigBenBP]

Great content!!! Love hearing the guys talk about their swing and approach.

[@spida1988]

Another great video!!! Man this is the best one yet! So much talent! Lots of hard hitters!!!

[@chrisrush3513]

Love seeing this. I play in a rec league and most of the top hitters act like it’s below them to show some pointers or tips. Thanks for sharing this.

[@Mrgood189]

Its not that. Some people take it the wrong way and even get offended if you offer advice. The best hitters ive met have always been timid to give advice

[@Chatillgbt]

Huge improvement in my game after watching these videos! Blessings

[@tonyschmidt349]

Great topic and insights . . . . love all your BP sessions!! Thanks!

[@tommysea9000]

Wow, all-star line up tonight! As usual, lots of great info, thanks for sharing.

[@jameyward4570]

Great content once again Cole... Love seeing new conference guys out there and hitting bp amd the way that they approach bp in general and situational stuff too... Keep it up #waitingforjoshmoore

[@DLeagueBP]

This is an excellent video! And learning that Mac has a FAFO grip was fantastic!

[@BatSzn]

BP with the nation always good to watch before a tourney. 🐐

[@CRB14001]

Awesome video, lots of great advice and tips to take to the next BP. Keep um coming!

[@charlesewel8642]

Great video, always glad when I see another of these

[@Nickbk5]

Did Ikes bat drill today. I've been having an issue cutting out bad Homers in C the last two years (Solos- 1 runner on, early, etc) and just in 1 bp session today the drill definitely helped more balls stay 5 ft which has been the goal. Appreciate the knowledge from a legit pro

[@prmcollin]

that interview and sharing bat grip stuff is so helpful. Now I don't feel as weird because I think about every little thing down to the bat waggles. Great stuff

[@RamboTheCEO]

Back home they use cones. And in bp if you couldnt hit between the cones they were automatic outs. Shaggers couldnt go inside the area of a cone....but patrolled all the dirt. Definitely learned the hard way that if you hit 110 hard at a legit defender...you going to the dugout. But if you hit 80 thru the hole...you on base

[@cousineddiehunts]

Thanks Cole! Great group of folks to learn from. I'll be back at Dbat with the tee and trying to develop that skill.

[@aschmidty11]

Really enjoyed Mac Rio. Everything he said just sounded super insightful and educational. Overall great video and advice from everyone

[@seannelson6119]

Good shit Cole great video!

[@derekware3799]

Can we get a video about tee work (i.e. how to set up the tee for bp, tee positioning and height, maybe even some tee drills) and possibly batters box positioning? I remember the drill where irv had you stand in the plate to work out getting the bat through the zone and that was super interesting!

[@fgs99]

Where can we get that jersey, it looks nice?

[@jacobeldridge3035]

Quick question.. should I be leading with my hands and let the bat come around? Or should I throw the bat ahead of the hands? - just need help on being more consistent at the plate

[@hittingwiththenation]

Hands first and the barrel will follow

[@bigmac654]

Are these results realistic for a Canadian softball player? When I watch videos about cut swings, I assume most videos are hitting Pro-M's but I am not sure. Up here we mostly hit Worth Hot Dots. Do 275lbs compression balls get enough backspin/carry to make cut swings worth trying to do?

[@MaXiMuMv2]

Many American softball leagues use Worth Hot Dot Classic Plus which is also a USSSA 52/275 ball. I'd say from personal experience that cutting them is usually superior to squaring them up because you can make them carry a lot further with that backspin. I have a pretty aggressive cut swing and have never had an issue with hot dots.

[@thecretanbull4784]

That was sick advice!!! Hope I can remember it when I do BP!

[@hittingwiththenation]

Good thing is just pull it up and watch it again. Lol

[@thecretanbull4784]

@@hittingwiththenation love you guys!

[@justinmoore598]

I’d be curious what Worlows swingspeed/exit velocity is. To me he looks like he is easy swinging but still hitting ropes.

[@joshhernandez5993]

[@shaynenaioti1785]

May I say s/o to mac Rio I used his hand placement about hooking it his index he showed in this video. Today was my first time trying it I hit a few over a 300+ foot distance fence in bp and I did it in a game and I hit a homerun in the first inning not on purpose lol we play in a one up league but thanks for that change I needed to make

[@SamPhillips01]

One thing that has always helped me with hitting holes, you know you take pepper and you hit it back to the person almost every time. Whether it's the person who pitched it or the other people with a glove on. When i get in the box I imagine there is someone standing in the hole i want to hit (goes for holes on the infielder or outfield) and i want to pepper them the ball. Even if i swing hard i think of it as a game of pepper and I want to hit that guy the ball in the hole.

[@Hannyarube]

Do you all wait till you're in a specific count or just swing at the first good one you see?. This new season, I'm working on being patient and having deeper counts. In my first two games of this season, I went 5-6 with a double and a walk just from taking a different approach at the plate.

[@hittingwiththenation]

Hitting your pitch and swinging at strikes will change your game for the better. Now, waiting to swing until you have a strike I don't suggest.

[@Mrgood189]

7:00 mark this is the barry bonds drill Christian Yellich talks about

[@user-vl1bk3xf8j]

Man…. Get them softball bat bros out there again!!! Them boys was fun to watch.

[@ryansmout3594]

Does the bat make a big difference as far as mid and end load with the cut swing?

[@hittingwiththenation]

Not particularly. But a heavy endload can be much harder to cut downward and not be loopy with the bat path. You would ha e to have pretty strong forearms

[@ryansmout3594]

@@hittingwiththenation that makes sense. Thanks for responding.

[@anonymoustoo4945]

is a cut swing what you should always use?

[@hittingwiththenation]

For the most part yes. Once you learn something it's hard to total change your swing

What about tomasi throwing about 10 balls in a row with not one ounce of spin on them lol.

Warlow went to Disney to study the Art of Mickey Mouse Bat Speed. Nothing special just another attempt at “strategery” for a hit.

[@hittingwiththenation]

@reiseclark4908 still in college, young and dumb. I'm sure you can hit it, but slow pitch is alot more than contact. I play with hundreds of guys at my lvl that played college, and some pro. You're not special. Play at the major lvl of slowpitch and see how you feel. Homeruns are numbered and placement and defensive is everything. Hit me up and I'll come to you for a video. [e-mail]

@@hittingwiththenation hitting glorified slow pitch and placing it is not hard to do man. Trust me I’ve done it as fillins for my buddies team in the summer theres nothing hard about it besides maybe playing infield because its smaller. Slow pitch takes a sport where the hardest facet is hitting and makes it the easiest.
