I learned somewhere to work on underloading with a lighter bat and then overloading with a heavier bat. Doing the same thing over and over will get you the same results. Changing up your training patterns does a reset on your brain and muscles.Great example of a good use of a wood bat!
And I know for a fact that someone like Cannonball knows how to use a wood bat to get more out of hitters and his dd was an absolute bomb dropper.
What scares me is the 12u dads that want to have their kid take 312 cuts a night with a wood 33” Louisville Slugger.
DD is superstitious. While driving up to see her team play vs ETBU last week she asked me to get her some eye black. She did not wear it in any of the 3 games. I was kind of peeved that I went out of my way to get it for her and she didn't wear it. I asked her why she didn't wear it. She said, I hit a HR in the first game without the eye black, so I didn't want to wear it in the other games. Don't want to mess up the feng shui. Uh okay.
One time, DD was swinging a 34-8 LXT and hit back to back pitches (2 AB's) over the fence in a game. After that game, she was no longer successful so she went back to her 34-10 bat. Was it a fluke?
