Great video Matt! Excellent job explaining the coil. I really like the "top" analogy as well. Makes it easy as a Coach to explain to my players. Keep up the great videos both on Baseball and Softball!
Hey Matt love your videos they have helped me get a lot more power. But now recently because of my increased power I hit a baseball of the tee through my net and through my neighbors window a couple hundred feet away, cost me but worth it in dingers!!!!
Id like to know how many of these kids are working with computers nowadays. 😂 Hey dads, your son is never going to make the major leagues. It’s a one out of 300,000 probability. Unless he was born in the Dominican republic or eats sleeps, shits, and drinks baseball stop voicing your time and money either they have it or they don’t.
The top analogy is clever. I used it to help my 9 year old son make the connection. Had him think of his body as if it were a top and create the load tension to jump into the air in a 360 fashion. Brilliant. Good for golf swing instruction too.
Matt, this is exactly what my 10U son is having difficulty with ! simple instructions by yourself, using the back pocket to come forward, also the belt buckle. That will help my 10 year old understand what his right leg needs to do at bat. Thank you ! Hope to have a super chat soon man !
Loved it man, great vid on this , i really needed it so thanks. I even put you in my school project and my teacher said that that was amazing!!!!! I talked about in my project how you help me everyday with all your vids!!!!!!
Hey Matt, thanks for the great video. Any chance we can get a super slow motion video of you swinging your ideal swing, with a breakdown? I think seeing it in action would be a huge benefit for a lot of us!
Yeaaaaa the whiffle ball bat... Yooo So I hit it wit a whiffle ball bat YOOO Seriously the best tool for kids. Whiffle ball bat with whiffle balls or the whiffle golf balls that move a lot too. That’s the next step.
Great job and you look smooth while showing the drill. It's amazing on how much speed you gain when coiling, stride and suddenly block your front leg. All this energy goes to the upper and there goes the absolute bomb.
I watched this twice and heard Matt say in another video but wanted to ask to be crystal clear…he is saying to show the back pocket to the pitcher but is he meaning the pocket closest to the catcher?
This is a very important technique that very few teach. There was an old Yankees hitting coach named Charlie Lau in the 1970's who would teach this. His big thing was that you needed to land with your front foot parallel to hold the load. I know that most guys teach front foot lands with a 45. I know that I gave you a hard time about some things but your baseball skills are very good.
I feel that this video will help my 7 year old with his timing. He is starting to get way too early on pitches, resulting in an upward swing. Thank you for posting great videos that are to the point!
I think Matt’s hockey training really helped him learn how to do this without thinking about it. What he is showing is also a good way to get into a one timer slap shot.
Such good info again Matt!!! Been working on that coil a lot during the QT. Staying in that deep coil is the trickiest part. It's tough not to lunge onto that front foot to early

I've been loaded this whole quarantine already.
😆
Matt, I played thru HS....if I would’ve employed your techniques I could have been so much better! Love your vids!
Greg Maier thanks!
? I hear all time bring weight forward and keep weight back. What is your take on this.
Coulda won state!
Great video Matt! Excellent job explaining the coil. I really like the "top" analogy as well. Makes it easy as a Coach to explain to my players. Keep up the great videos both on Baseball and Softball!
this really helped I tried this in my practice and i was just hitting absolute line drives

Laura be like” Hey Matt , Why didn’t you do this ?????!??!?”
Great video, trying to help my girlfriends 15 year old. Trying to get him to keep coiled longer
Thinking of a top.. One of the better explanations I’ve seen on the hip coil.
Excellent tip ! you definitely lose a lot of power when you uncoil too soon.

What is the simplest way to tell kids this? Like in a TH-cam short. The load, hold, land-explode
Not all coaches can teach that technique properly. That is so important. Thanks for sharing. It’s time for a clinic out on the West Coast!!
Another absolute gem.

So it's more like load then reach with your front foot instead of stride
Thanks for this video. My stepson is 6 feet 1 inches tall and now that he has learned how to coil he is hitting bombs
Blast Motion on a Wiffleball Bat. Learning all the time.
Great video! Never understood that concept until now
Good stuff. I will do this with my son
Probably one of your best videos
Half bat drills please
Hey Matt, thanks for the great video. Any chance we can get a super slow motion video of you swinging your ideal swing, with a breakdown? I think seeing it in action would be a huge benefit for a lot of us!
I agree...would LOVE to see a slow-mo video of your ideal swing! Possible???
great vid.. thanks.
“Check The Technique”!
Hey Matt, I am a juco player at New Mexico, I just want to yank you for this vids, they have changed my whole swing for better
It's all in the hips
Yeaaaaa the whiffle ball bat...
Yooo
So I hit it wit a whiffle ball bat YOOO
Seriously the best tool for kids.
Whiffle ball bat with whiffle balls or the whiffle golf balls that move a lot too.
That’s the next step.

Yes correct. Just needs to be a slight turn
@@AntonelliBaseball Thank you so much
I FOUND IT! "The Holy Grail of staying back or getting into the back leg and not getting forward" I knew this was out here but couldn't find it.
Good stuff Antonelli. I come watch your videos to regroup myself after I try copying a mlb players swing and end up in a mess. 🤪
Wish I was in New England to learn in person. My softball team needs my hitting Lol
This is a very important technique that very few teach. There was an old Yankees hitting coach named Charlie Lau in the 1970's who would teach this.

Can you load pre pitch being thrown? Like pre load? Would having a small stride vs big stride make a difference?
Used this tip and loading the coil tips in softball the other night. First AB, dinger! thanks, great stuff.
Good stuff.
I feel that this video will help my 7 year old with his timing. He is starting to get way too early on pitches, resulting in an upward swing. Thank you for posting great videos that are to the point!
Dude i just had a light bulb go off! Good video
This is an awesome tip, breaks down a drill I do, the load, stride , swing drill and improves it immensely. Thank u
Damn, this is why I didn't hit for power. It was either that or Joe Grahe throwing cheddar past me.
So coil means when you like charge before you swing?
I would like to know about chin on shoulder when batting. Is it needed
Lol I'm out of breath taking 3 swings. That's not good.
Another really good video and helpful tips to help me load properly. Thanks for all you do.
Great video brother! Always awesome tips.
Great Vid!!!
At 5:30 in this video is the most important part of hitting a baseball.
Thank you for this video! This is great information!
I think Matt’s hockey training really helped him learn how to do this without thinking about it. What he is showing is also a good way to get into a one timer slap shot.
Great explanation, well said…
Wow this was amazing. Perfect
Hey Matt, when San Diego plays la, did you guys stay overnight or did your bus take you back to San Diego after each game?
Adam Rogers we stay
How can I coil that back pocket without turning my front shoulder too much? (Righty hitter)
Its all connect
What about a guy like Stanton -- could someone not as strong as him hit with that style? He seems front loaded - almost like hitting downhill.
How is he front loaded? He clearly loads into his back leg when he toe taps. some times he even double taps to keep it loaded just like bonds did
Such good info again Matt!!! Been working on that coil a lot during the QT. Staying in that deep coil is the trickiest part. It's tough not to lunge onto that front foot to early
You are right , I agree totally
Couldn’t hear a word you said, with all the birds singing in the background, lol.
Junior you deaf?
great video and explanation dude
Thanks for the video Matt
I’ve been loaded since 93😝
Age sucks !!! Lol
Gold !!!
Great vid needed this
Thanks
Hey Matt can you make a vid about how to stay in shape and healthy so when we come back we don’t get hurt??????
