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.

        Didn’t let the load complete in toss swing. In way too big of a hurry to launch. Hand action good.

          Swing at a pitch eye high. Feel what happens in the rear hip/leg. Then swing at a pitch down the middle making sure hip/leg feel same as in high pitch swing.

              I have my oklahoma all state game tomorrow. Going to really focus on getting to “the spot” on time and getting my hand pivot point into a ready position. First pitcher is going to be 94 with a hard slider and the rest around 88-90. Last chance to get D1 attention. Will post results

                i will start the load earlier and try to carry out the stretch longer. Do you think my back action was sufficient or did i get disconnected?

                          Swing looks good. Timing sucks. Get to the spot earlier with control. Turn everything into a change up.

                            Timing definitely was shit. I felt like i was swinging off the tee with no variables. I will work on it

                              I’m sure this is one of those oxymorons like jumbo shrimp, but my kids have timing issues too . Richard can you expand on this.

                                Almost everyone starts loading too late. Learn to start way early, load slow, allow time for the body to get fully stretched. Most are swinging before they get completely stretched because the ball got on them. Turn every fastball into a change up by starting what feels like too early, force yourself to use your back to keep from lunging. Stretch results. On time snap results.
