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.

      This is a really good drill.

      Basically this drill but full swing to oppo field


      And make back foot even with tee
      Sweet! Do you set the tee deep positioned over the middle of the plate or outside?

              What is the purpose of that extension.

              I see a lot of lasering talk. I tried that and it doesn't feel right. Possibly I'm taking the wrong angle. Are we splitting the ball in half or diagonally. I used a flashlight on the end of a bat also.

              What is the proper angle of the lasering

                  Probably middle to outside. I draw the lines in the dirt similar to what you have taped down

                    Central axis? Like spinal axis? No.

                        For the one legged work, are you adding any coiling elements or are you just weighting the one leg and swining from there?

                          Don't know if you are asking me, but yes. Hip coil (rear ass cheek around rear leg is cue) then lower back then scap. Tilt at go as you turn barrel.

                          Load forearms in stance (lead forearm supinate / rear forearm pronate pressure)

                              Thanks guys. I was just throwing it out there.



                              Could really use help with this... JS, how is your pelvis so far open if you are coiled in your rear hip? Your rear foot isn't toe'd in so I would think you have a lot more ROM left in your hip? When me and my kids get in that posture and coil, our pelvis' close.

                              Are you bottomed out in your rear hip socket (ie can't rotate back any farther)?
