What approach would work best for a hitter like me. I can often make contact but it’s usually line drives down the oppo line. When I hit the ball in the air it’s a flair to the opposite field, and when I pull the ball it is a low line drive. I know I have the mechanics but I can’t find an approach that allows me to pull the ball with power, but also stay consistent.

I will make a video about this soon. But, what I did when I was a pro baseball player, facing guys who threw 100mph, I would hit off a pitching machine and walk closer to it. I just watched it at times, other times I would swing. But as I got closer it sped the reaction time up. I went as far as I could go to the machine. Then I walked back slowly, and the ball slowed down. When the game started, 100mph felt slow. This is what most major league players do, and I believe it will help you too.

I believe there is value in what he teaches. Otherwise, people wouldn't listen. What are your thoughts?

[@daverude417]

@@JermaineCurtis55 I have a 12 year old son, just trying to give him the right info on hitting. Some people believe HLP is a good hitting method, but then some say its a really bad method, however, I have not been able to find a good thorough explanation of why its bad. I hear things like you'll strikeout and pop-out a lot. There are 3-4 main elements to the HLP swing philosophy, coiling (everybody thinks this is good), tilting/pivoting on back hip (some think this is good), really keeping weight back (most think this is good), the hand snap (very controversial but essential for HLP), it takes a little time to understand HLP but once understood, it's a pretty simple process, the simplicity is what interest me. I have been trying to figure out the baseball swing for the last 2-3 years. I do think there is a right way to swing but different ways to get to that place, I think everyone just needs to find the instruction and drills that makes sense to them and leads to that good swing

[@JermaineCurtis55]

Yeah, I hear you. I think a lot of people are out there searching for the 'right' information. I agree that there are a lot of phony hitting gurus online who have never actually hit themselves. However, what people need to find is the 'right information for them.' Aaron Judge has been coached by hundreds of coaches throughout his life, and he found what worked for him. Does this mean it will work for your son? I don't know. It might, but it might not. You never know unless you try it out. So go and experiment. Just remember to stay in communication with your son. A lot of people always look outward for the answer, but the answer is usually inward.

[@sas6561]

All this is of course, good advice. What is missing is the emphasis on bat speed ... specifically WRISTS!!! ... Tim Tebow was super strong, had all these muscle groups strong as hell, and was a world class athlete... BUT, HIS HANDS WERE SLOW!!! To this day, Tebow has not been able to handle heat on the inside black! Fingers, wrists, and forearms, need SPECIFIC EXERCISES done diligently and emphasized FAR, FAR, MORE! in the whole exersize regime. Tebow spent too much time in the weight room. He is 100 times stronger than me, yet I handled inside heat and he couldn't catch up to it.

[@JermaineCurtis55]

@sas6561 Great insight! You're absolutely right that wrist and forearm strength are critical for handling inside heat, and slow hands can definitely limit a hitter's ability to catch up to those pitches. In this video, my focus was on increasing exit velocity, which often ties directly to bat speed. When hitters improve their lower-half mechanics and sequencing, it helps generate more bat speed and, as a result, higher exit velocity. Strengthening the wrists, forearms, and fingers is a piece of the puzzle, but combining that with efficient swing mechanics is what truly unlocks consistent power. Appreciate you sharing your perspective!
