Instruction
Evaluations
The player is video taped and their swing is analyzed. Comparisons of videotaped swings of present and past elite players are shown and explained, along with comparisons of linear and rotational hitters. The evaluation normally lasts from 1 to 1½ hours.
Our "Guaranteed Package" includes:
- Individual, one-on-one instruction
- TOTAL elimination of "lunging, drifting, and 'front-foot' hitting"
- Proper use of hips and lower body
- A "natural" swing tailored to put "the plane of the swing on the same plane as the pitch"
- The hands correctly staying "inside the ball"
- A short stride to the ball
- Dynamic balance from stance through follow-through
- Optimized swing for bat "speed," bat "quickness," and POWER with both the minus 3 aluminum and wood bats
- Minimized head movement
- The ability to hit to all fields -- with power
- Increased confidence-building gained from learning these productive mechanics
Refresher Lessons
The refresher lesson generally lasts one hour. Refreshers are for players who have gone through our Guaranteed Hitting Package and wish to make sure that their core mechanics have not appreciably changed since we last saw them. There is one "free" refresher for those who went through our Seven Day Hitting Program, which must be used within three weeks of finishing the program. If the player has been doing their drills, the refresher may only serve as a confidence-builder. Most hitters DO return for a refreshers and some are on a calendar schedule so they don't forget. In any event, it is purely personal, and not mandatory. Think of it as "insurance."
Out-Of-Town Players
The Seven Day Hitting Program is geared for out-of-town/state/country players. It is one-on-one instruction. When the player finishes, they will be using the same core mechanics as 95% of baseball's Hall of Fame hitters. GUARANTEED! The Phoenix area has a great amount to do all year round. The mountains of northern Arizona are about 1 ½ hours away.
