Baseball Hitting Video Gain Distance PART 1

In This Baseball Hitting Video Gain Distance The Easy Way PART 1,

We’re going over:

• How to feel lighter in the Final Turn using the rule of Un-Weighting,
• Moving the body forward to create momentum, and
• Turning Yourself into a Projectile Missile (Broad v. Triple Jump).

It’s amazing what happens when you add a little momentum.  Muscles don’t have to work as hard, and the body moves effortlessly through space.  We get a “head start” using our body’s weight more than we realize…to get up from the floor, the couch or chair, or to step up into the bed of a truck.  Why should hitting be any different…heck, just about every good player uses momentum in some way.  I hope you enjoy Baseball Hitting Video Gain Distance PART-One.
