How important do you think the shift forward matters for timing? Players I’ve worked with that do not move forward tend to be late. Players I’ve worked with that shift more forward tend to have good timing. You see two types of loads. Front foot up and shift weight forward (AJ current swing) and front foot up and weight stays back (Alo comes to mind).
Assume your referring to yes, yes, no?
Correct but it’s more than that. It’s attitude! It’s making the pitcher feel your swing! It’s daring the pitcher to throw a strike. And it’s always expecting the pitchers hardest pitch. The ability to put a consistently powerful (good stretch, no compromising positions to just make contact) swing on elite pitching is to have the above mentality. No thought of “get a good pitch”. No indecision! Get that conquered first. My goal with this thread is how to train the hitter to mentally and mechanically put a powerful swing on every pitch. Attack the ball. What does your swing look like when you foul a ball off? Did the pitcher feel it?
Timing on this post could not be better! I've really been focussing on loading and leg kick, for both timing and increased power. I'm looking for good/new drills to use with hitters of all ages. What are some of everyones favorites?
