Step One For New Members

If you are reading this, you are in the main forum....where all the good discussion and exchange of ideas occurs.

Instructional threads are 'stickied' to the top of this forum page in an effort to get new members to see the work that gets done here. There are 5 different threads of a dad and his kid, going through the HittingIllustrated process. They are quite instructional. I think you'll be impressed with what you see. The kid's progress is amazing. One of them is now a D1 player who chose college after being drafted. Another is a DII college player. A third is his brother who is now in high school. The fourth is a current high school freshman. And the fifth is my son who is now out of college and playing amateur fastpitch softball. Take a look. The terminology is likely to confuse you at first. But do your best to understand.

Then, there is another forum titled The Second Engine, found just below this one on the main page, which consists of 18 threads that have been chosen as 'good reads' for new members to get 'up to snuff' on what is taught here.

It is my recommendation that you spend your first hour or so in that forum reading those threads. Then, come here to ask questions. We love it when clips of hitters are posted.

And here is a link to an Instructional Starter Pak. It has the basic information. There are many details that go with each step that are too cumbersome to put in the Pak.

Instructional Starter Pak

MAKE THE BEST USE OF YOUR TRIAL PERIOD
POST A CLIP OF YOUR SON OR DAUGHTER
I'LL GIVE YOU AN ANALYSIS AND A RECOMMENDATION.

If I were you, I'd concentrate on figuring out what the Hand Pivot Point and what the Rear Hip Pivot Point are....and how they are synced together to create the high level swing.

Welcome.

          He was using the new Demarini CF6. 34 inch.


          Edited - it was the 2014 Voodoo 33.5 - earlier he was using the CF6 and I didn't realize he switched.

                  First college hit and RBI vs Baylor last night. Turn the volume down.

                    I kind of like the volume.

                    A special sound off the bat.

                    Nice job.

                            He's playing left and first base. Batting down in the order, started off slow but had a nice last few games. The team is loaded and can really hit, fun to watch.

                              Here is an ab from yesterday, lead off hitter in this inning with the take sign first pitch. Takes the 0-1 off speed into RF for a hit. Went 1-4 but could have been 3-4 with any luck at all.

                                I was able to get some video yesterday since Ryan was playing in San Francisco. I wish all the games were an hours drive away......
