so Mike when you have those bands on
what do you feel that those bands are doing for you
prior to taking them off so what what is those bands what they help you doing
so when i put the bands on honestly what I feel
after each swing i have instant feedback
so if i fall off balance or my hands fall off the ball
its going to yank you back if im able to with that band on my hips or my chest
keep a firm front side and stay
through the ball it's not gonna pull me anywhere Im going to stay right in my
finish point through the ball if anything
in that process messes up im going to fall of balance and the bands going to pull me back
I really enjoy the instant feedback
do you feel that it is helping you with your core strength stabilisation
and your you fast twitch muscles when you take that band off
you feel stronger faster quicker more balanced
its working all the muscles I need to generate bat speed so basically
its functional training correct you're able to take live swings
basically weight lift in that situation and
then go ahead take them off and have even better results
yeah and thats that part that we need to
continue to work on back get the back
become that hitting IQ right you
Right. through the ball inside
when we hit keep that head down on the tee longer
so when we hit mike we wanna stay here instead of here
your now
better stay closed longer you understand
after the point contacts they through the ball don't open up
now there it is
feel that what adjustment did you make
right stay in the legs longer
now once we get to a point to contact we stay
here instead of here
stay closed longer better stay through Mike stay down now
great
you know what it is is relaxed but the thing is
once we start our swing we cant go here first get the hands moving let the hands trigger the hip
ok remember we talked about that
inside
good good adjustment keep that attack angle
attacking
ready
ok stay through the band
to the pitcher through the band
hold your finish
two count right because we have to work stabilizers
fast twitch and the core at the same time stay through the band
beautiful Mike
what are you focusing on different now that you're being repetitive with your swing
just staying through the baseball
good swings
good swing mike we arent hitting through the completeness
here stage there state now that head still
you
see how youre staying through the ball
thats finishing your swing
make that adjustment
have that attack angle
way
stay through the ball
hands nice
start accelerating our swing okay start giving me
as quick as you can move your hands you shoulder hips not
be violent with them mike
so were you seen Jake on
numbers wise said started at like 88 and is peaking out at 94
when Mike started with me
week ago with he was 88 89
then he took the bands off and he was boom 94 96
right now his swing is so efficient so compact that hes already there
so you're numbers now have notice across the board
with all the kids now number arent 8 9 miles an hour different
we're talking three or four really focus on staying down
through the band after the swing home way
hold the finish give me a two count down way
good just up
nice show me
don't hit the ball get get to the point of contact show your
finish go over the top of ball slow-motion spirit operable
go all the way through sure you're finished Mike stay down stay down
that
three you need to be can you feel that that's where we need to finish my
finish okay so when you hit and the moment you make contact and that
front shoulder come out up or the head see
ball goes come away from the ball so you're losing that exit speed
right by
give me a practice one just like that again just to reiterate
that fine motor skill go over the top of the ball complete it all the way through
complete now finish stay down stay down
that's a part that I like you see that bill
everything shakes fast twitch core
stabilization what good boy
no I was good just hand more right him
two more work
nice stay close longer you remember you got forty pounds pulling on you right
thats alot of weight pulling you back takes strength to get through that band
been finish my more
thats the thing that this band does more than anything
it teaches you how finish a swing because if you dont
thats 210 pounds youre yanking back
you lose rested good yes
your here along
get through it
ha baby my
nice
now every time you swing work
adjusting good or bad right making adjustment swing to swing to swing
keep it up youre doing great
keep that attack angle lite lite lite heavy
when he takes a band off hes 94
peaked out at 95 mph bat speed lets go red band hip
that
practice swing on hip stay over the top
reason I do this bill is because they need to understand that
fine motor skill and what it feels like if they don't do that you put them into
a
raw they don't have that skill its going to be an un
productive swing that so I do a dry swing
at times so they get a feel that fine motor skill ago
through
you my stayed down longer right
hands crush
stay down mike nice
that finish perfect
work are
violent be violent alright
make your adjustment right here right but the hands do the work
stay inside the ball great adjustment
finish Mike
you just you doing really good
you really are you know Mike you fight to change a little bit
beautiful
yeah
lottery
youre doing really well, your swing
making adjustments beautifully mike
by
96 yeah thank you
stay through Mike work harder I know you got more in a tank
that's what I'm looking for Mike every time
pick up that hand speed
Mike nice right
down right
the key issue we hit the ball incorrectly
mechanically make our adjustment
right on top
for so these next few I'm give you five
so these next few lets do the dry swing
feel the finish have to stay down
have to stay down stretch that band
stretch that band
here we go by my
yet I'll more violent
nice mike feel that extension
when you get your hands out there you get to stay through
stay down fashion beautiful
way
that
that's that leak after contact like and you could see what happens to the ball right
yeah back correct and the other for to support your head
your ball took off it went well but it didnt have its flight or trajectory right
because you created top spin when you went here
maker just
finish
you know mike is a is an example
mike is an example of how i teach hitting
hes short hes flat hes compact hes balanced
through 99 percent of the swing he opens up
even a little too soon after hes coming through the baseball right but
this is how i think all hitters should hit
quite simple black
that's what we need to do today to provide
they don't have that information
not going to be able to be productive look but here's what I want you to do
right now I need for you to find a place
your mind and your heart find out violence in those hands you need to get
that your swing so pretty and so
efficient you need it now train at 10
you need to find that that
one right got
right here
down through Mike
money 98
98 yes home I
come on they closed down longer
your stance that little bit takes that
doubt thereby
fine
right here
good
for something
where
