Overcoming Inertia At Launch

"Cs" The Benefit, etc.

Make a small C slowly with the middle knuckle on the middle finger of the lead hand as your hands begin their path to explode through the ball. The reason for doing this in a slow manner is because a slow start enables the hitter to keep their head still and maintain positive tracking of the pitch. I won't use this forum for specifics, but I adhere to Dr. Bill Harrison's Vision Training for teaching proper visual acuity by limiting the number of eyes muscles used in hitting which in turn prevents blurring the hitter's vision during pitch tracking...a.k.a. fine centering/soft centering.

Hitting is an act of controlled aggression. To be a good hitter that can consistently drive a pitch, you must put yourself into the role of being the aggressor in a confrontation with the pitcher.

I teach a form of recycling made famous by Tim Galwey years ago. My hitters develop a personalized hitting mantra with my assistance as part of a hitting routine. Once the hitting routine is in their subconscious, they'll recycle their HM (hitting mantra) before each pitch. Recycling the HM in the hitting routine can provide you with an effective system in your hitting development.
