The foot work after the load helped me so much I really appreciate this

[@arod9091]

Great video I need help with my hips am working on being a switch hitter and I can't use my hips right on the right side

[@UltimateBaseballTraining]

Hopefully the tips in this video will help! 👍

[@movementtraining8689]

I like the Ted Williams reference. The hips help you get on plane with the pitch much easier than your hands do.

[@davidboatman925]

The hips lead the way, they don't put you on plane.

I have to work on staying flat through my bat path anf stop dumping the barrel and this video was the exact thing i needed

[@UltimateBaseballTraining]

I’m glad to hear that!

[@trustingod3207]

Thank you!

[@danielippolito8368]

Absolutely fantastic instruction. Thanks, coach!

[@sebastiangagnon1838]

I love the weekly instructional videos. Thank you.

[@n2baseball4life25]

Just what I needed

[@DaD-xx7vr]

It is amazing how many little league coaches have no clue on how to hit or teach it. These are great tips, 1 coach on my team walked away when I started teaching them these same methods like I was incorrect. So many kids are being denied good coaches and it is a shame.

[@hannahzhou1920]

WOW TY TY TY!! this was SO helpful! And your so good at explaining! I’ve been working on this for about a year now and it’s been on and off a lot! THANK YOUUU!!

[@isawxvy]

You always come with great tips and advices thanks💯⚾️🔥

[@Voices_in_Heaven]

Awesome! My Son's coach was just explaining to him the importance of using this during batting 👍🏻

[@PalletTownMailman]

For hip rotation at 5:37 , why do the hips rotate to varying degrees depending on the ball location? Is that something you should give focus to, or is it just the byproduct of something else?

[@jeffgreen7499]

Great! You have been very helpful! Thanks! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🙂

I'm glad to hear that! Thanks for watching! 👍

[@GoldFoilDecendent]

Thanks for the video. I have two boys 11, & 12, and we've been searching for some good way to figure out how to sequence parts of the swing. The front heel land to launch the hip turns is helpful. Never was sure whether we "fire the back leg first, or fire the hips first". Which was the chicken and which was the egg. Your answer was helpful. Neither. It starts up front. Who would have though that? Thanks again. Dan, David and Evan -- baseball lovers in Allen Texas

[@jeffhunt8916]

I really like your content it has really helped my son and his hitting and approach to the plate

[@dagruddicker22]

The best hitting video besides Tony Gwynn's you tube from sportsskol. Wow the best explanation. I knew what i did and semi knew how tp teach it but the back foot-leg was difficult to explain to kids.

[@nickanderson9154]

Awesome video man, I found what I was looking for

[@johnortiz788]

This really helped

[@clipped5250]

Hey!! You probably wouldn’t see this but how do I see the ball if I turn my hips. I use mostly all arms

[@larrysquires5321]

Keep your shoulder square and head down.

[@mitnaols6052]

What type of hand grips do you recommend??

[@gossetttradingmentoring7871]

Great Video - Thank you!

Skateboarding is great lower body/hips workout

Hey Coach! I'm a lefty batter and whenever i bat my right foot steps out and it is frustrating. Do you have any tips? Could you maybe make it into a video

[@UltimateBaseballTraining]

I'll try to cover this in a future video. So it sounds like you're "stepping in the bucket?"

[@Fam494]

@@UltimateBaseballTraining yes

[@iancabrera9812]

Same

[@goprojay9716]

Lay a 2 x 4 behind your heels pointing out to the pitcher. Then take bucket after bucket off the tee to implement muscle memory and obviously not stepping on the 2 x 4. Pretty soon you'll forget all about it. Also, when you 'step in the bucket' all your friends and teammates think you're scared. Let that be part of your motivation. Good luck!

[@crazycalebvlogs7095]

Can you make a video how to stop turning in your baseball swing like pulling off the ball

[@lyannarivera5303]

I like the explanation of kinetic explosion. Instead of squash the bug its smashing. Hitting the explosion button with ur front foot transferring the explosion to your back leg thrusting you hip to rotate and then smashing the ball.

[@subzero335]

This video really helped me! When I was younger my grandpa always told me to squish the bug and that’s why I needed this video. Because if what my grandpa said I have been just spinning and not driving

[@worldwidegamer5538]

Can you do a video on toe tap cause that's my swing right now and also can you get your foot off the ground

[@eanmarcussen7482]

thank

[@Jackson2Miller2]

This is what I needed I have to use my hips to generate power. And right now if I get my hips working I can be a even better. Hitter. I’m not all arms bud I need to use my hips more.

[@stephendufort4154]

Is there any other ways for me to hit farther and harder. I’m a 10 year old hitting I’ve 200+ feet

“Hips before hands” - Ted Williams hitting 101.

[@rslwannabe9475]

''Hips before hands'' - Ted williams 101mph fastball.

[@larrysquires5321]

God bless. EVERYTHING follows the hips. Keep the head down, shoulders square, release. Interestingly, throwing is no different.

[@Rooster_king]

Squash the bug helps with kids that rotate their hips but try to keep their back foot planted for balance. I've seen it dramatically help kids when used this way. If a kid is not actively using their hips then telling them to squash the bug is not the best method. I've found that telling them to snatch their belt buckle to 3rd base works better.

[@asherlloyd1312]

How to keep your front shoulder closed? I need help with this.

[@lagonatorgaming2537]

Can yall make a video on how to time your swing and not pull your head. Thats literaly all i do in my swing.

[@JS-ck5xp]

Love this Soo much for my softball kid! Very helpful

[@zadefarah8202]

What’s up my hip pops out when I’m hitting any tips

[@jeremyanderson8008]

If you are swinging correctly, your hips will actually lift your back foot off the ground. Check out any elite hitter and you will see this action. Driving your weight into a firm front side is the key to increasing your power.

[@kharris37050]

I know how to do this but someone just told me to watch this

[@chuckpreble133]

Alright I can land with front foot slightly open but as soon as I start the swing it just goes from slightly open to facing the pitcher

[@jkuhede]

Thank you , I play cricket and just needed to assure myself that you use your hips too in batting .

How People say water: Americans: wodder British: wotter Russians: wodka

[@larrysquires5321]

Probably THE best advice you've provided for young players. But, the hips should rotate the same no matter what. The hands (base of bat towards ball) and barrel of bat follow. You should just watch the Ted Williams video, eg cock the hip, pull the hip, release. Baseball is all about getting on base.
