Used this video with my son when he was 7. He's a lefty, and I'm righty, so I was able to go through the steps with him while he mirrored me. He's 19 now and a freshman in college. Thanks to this foundation of the swing at an early age, he is playing college ball today!
I’ve heard “short to contact” a million times in videos, but it never clicked as to what it really meant until your explanation. Thank you! Coming up on my 2nd year coaching 12u in northern MN
1. you can be closed without crunching your upper half down - so closed is just a shoulder turn in. 2. turn your hip inward on leg lift and pause/stop, this is balance 3. look over your lead elbow and use it to point at your target. As an aside, this helps you stay closed longer too
Anyone watching this DO NOT pay close attention. This video will not make you better. It’s repetitions and finding your own swing use drills not mechanics
A crazy thing is I am trying to learn how to play disc golf now in my late 30’s. Throwing disc right hand is so darn strange for me. I grew up playing baseball as an outfielder. The crow hop is similar to disc golf and throwing my left hand is similar to baseball. I can not figure out a right hand back hand disc golf throw worth a darn next time I head out I am throwing my disc left hand because of baseball.
Coaches I find put too much emphasis on the back hip and "squishing the bug" as they say, but hitting the ball is more important than generating "power". Just making good contact with the ball should be priority. I never did much hip driving in my day, but could still hit the ball over the fence.
Matt - when you have a moment, I was curious comparing your early part of swing to Ted Williams. His philosophy was verbatim with you on striding and loading the hands at the exact same time. However, his advice was to also load the hips; having "3" things occur at the same (stride, loaded hands, loaded hips). Thank you for your time in advance!
Had this issue. A coach NEVER once told me this. I’d have throws from RF that’d be a laser and going straight to the base I wanted it to and the about 3/4s of the way there the ball would tail crazy bad.
I am playing 11u all stars and I still do not know how.. whenever you slid like that your knee slid across the ground and it always burns when that happens
Do you know of anywhere to buy laminated sheets to put in a binder with pre printed situational information for a team to take him and study? Sort of a baseball playbook?
Good video, dude. Here in Los Angeles the batting cages are becoming expensive. No surprise. Recently I bought some gloves and want to start going once a week. For some reason I thought I'd look up hitting tips. Good video. Thanks.
Thank you so much man! Quick question though, does it matter where you grip the seams? Bc I developed it before I knew this any it kept going right or left. I hold it where the seam starts making a U
I’ve always been able to grip a baseball like I am throwing a slider, but but can’t get any zip on my throws doing that, as ball goes a certain distance then dives straight down. I’ve tried the 4-seam grip but have never been able to get a feel for it, as I can’t get any spin on the ball and every time I try to grip it like that my throws are always erratic. The 4-seam grip has always just felt weird to me.
