Thanks! We are planning on releasing videos all throughout 2024. We are really trying to narrow our focus on what the community wants to see/learn. So we likely won't be releasing every week like we used to but are going to focus on quality over quantity. Thanks for watching!
Agreed. We generally don't do that but we didn't have access to a net. We all had a gentleman's agreement to not go middle. Thankfully we all have pretty decent bat control and can avoid middle when we need to. Thanks!
Been working on my cut swing for little over a year, still alot of work to do. Is there by chance an easier bat type to start with? I normally stay away from end loads cause I am not a power hitter, but I am curious if the end loaded might actually be more beneficial as you axe through the ball chopping it? I strayed away prior because my hands would dip in the follow through so I started buying balanced. How much does your comfortabilty vs a certain bat type matter for starters? I just trying to always soak up as much info as I can. Thank you for any thoughts and thank you for these vids. They keep the drive going 100%
I'm so glad these videos help you out and keep you motivated! I'm not sure there is really a "better" or "best" type of bat for cutting. A lot of it depends on your swing or the type of game you play. I find that flexy handles are better for cutting if you have an easy swing. Whenever I am swinging one of those it seems like I hit better when I take a little power off my swing. On the other hand, I find when I swing hard I can often get better results with a stiffer handle. As far as EL vs. Balanced I am often more accurate with a balanced bat but more powerful with an EL bat. That being said, power can certainly be generated with a balanced bat as well. Long story short, the most important part is developing your cutting skill. The better it gets the more successful you'll be, not matter what type of bat you are swinging. Thanks for watching!
Absolutely you can! I use a 27 oz bad fairly often and definitely can still cut the ball. The weight of the bat is sort of arbitrary it's really more about how well you can move your particular bat. If you can keep control of a 30 ounce bat, you can cut swing with 30 Oz bat!
Keep an eye on his Instagram, tiktok, and snap chat. He travels a fair amount for work and has talked about setting up BPs and such in different locations.
Honestly the “two-step” is solid advice! So simple. Something else that really stands out to me, that he does in every video but isn’t mentioned, is visualization. Before every swing he’s visualizing the results. You even hear it in his commentary…. “Gonna hit this one right at him” “This one’s going over the net” Ime that mind-muscle connection makes all the difference. If the mind can see it, the body will do it! Is this Mike Nino…or Babe Ruth calling his shots 😅
Great observation! I hadn't thought of that. He absolutely does that all the time. He can really do want he wants most of the time and I bet that visualization is a huge part of it.
I get the CS from the Tee and what i find fascinating is how easy you can control the ball. Line drive oppo or whatever .. it doesnt take much to really steer the ball whereever you want it. So, yeah .. from the Tee. But talking about Live Pitching Lol .. no chance. Greetings from Germany btw ;)
The bat he is swinging through the first 3/4 of the video is ASA (we were all attending an ASA tournament) but the bat he was swinging at the very end is the USSSA version. Specifically, its the Monsta M8 DOMN8 with a 1 oz endload.
@@Jay_Wood Professional softball players shouldn't be using composite bats and for the rest of us our leagues shouldn't be flooded with manipulated (hot) bats. If you can't walk into a store and buy a good quality bat and hit with it, you shouldn't be playing. My league is flooded with people with half ass swings and are somehow hitting bombs. That s hit is ridiculous. And it's everywhere. Honestly, ppl should be embarrassed
I can show you how i do it. Will never make them better cause talent is talent. It took years of practice and i never cared to get past 'c' ball from my day. I can out hit most still at 44
I can't say that I agree with you. Personally I wouldn't say I'm particularly naturally talented, however learning to cut swing has definitely upped my game and I'm still improving it day by day. But everyone is entitled to thier own opinion.
