This is actually pretty good…. I learned something new and productive and I will use this in my lessons…. Thank you. I usually see trash instructors giving trash advice. This was knowledgeable and clear
Coach Avery, I have a camera question. How did you mount your camera so there wasn't any obstruction, like a net in front of it to keep your camera (gopro I assume) safe from getting hit? Do you use plexiglass? Thanks!
Hi Southlake Dragons. The camera is on a tripod about 3 feet high and 1 foot behind an L screen approximately 30ft away. I shoot with a dslr at 50mm. If you set the aperture to an open setting such as F2.8 or F4.0 the netting becomes less visible.
How is this over coaching? Rolling over is a real issue at the plate. This is a simple tool to help with that. The player can take his regular swing repeatedly and receive immediate feedback. This is as simple and easy going as it gets for a baseball swing.
I get that. Tee work is so over looked...and it is vital! But I don't think that the addition of a pool noodle to help a young hitter learn to stay in the hitting zone longer would cause ANY type of negative trait or over coaching. But more than anything, I enjoy being able to have a discussion on the internet without fighting or name calling! One thing about sports...if you are honest about what you think and are respectful to others, you come out on top.
