I am so sorry that you did, because of the fact that this game is played with 2 strikes and you're out, and this means strike out on purpose to make it a game like baseball!
This is Bob waldyke who I played with in the early 1990s. He was a great hitter person and teammates on our 1993 world AA championship team Bunca car wash out of Kalamazoo Michigan! Hi Bob!
I played with him in Grand Rapids from 81 through 84, and Bruce Streelman, Tom Clawson, and the rest. Most of the time it was Shane Steel / Little Caesars, or Florentines. Back before these jacked up bats and balls....
Interesting points - wouldn't you be stronger still, and hit the ball further, using your upper (to include the hands) and lower body together as a connected, coordinated unit instead of just isolating the hands? Thanks for sharing
Totally agree. But he's focusing in on the hands as an important part of the 'coordinated unit' because so often hitters get 'loopy' with the swing, lowering the hands at the beginning of the swing. It would have been good if he showed the wrong way which is very common with many ex-hardball players.
Which is why he addressed to rotate your hips and shift your weight. He said the isolating hands On Top of that will dramatically increase your bat speed. More so than throwing more weight or rotation into your already existing swing.
Yes that is true and great advice. What he means is your body should explode through the ball as your hands follow ("keep hands back") and then the bat. If the bat gets ahead of your hands then you lose substantial power.
If you're shorter than 5 foot 10, good luck.. you won't be able to hit far enough in slow pitch softball (14 inch debeer ball) I'm 5 foot 7 and can only hit bullets into the outfield.
+Americangerman2 definitely doing it all wrong, seeing as I know plenty of guys your size putting on monster shots (and no, not juiced bats... single walls)
5'8 145... can clear 300 foot fences.. not every at bat, but if i hit 50 balls ill put 5 or so over and another 5 or so off the fence. there's different ways of creating bat speed.
This technique works I hit it out 300+ homerun yesterday prior to this I would hit pop flys to outfielders only
And then you woke up
@@treydrier3169 with two ladies. If you know what I mean HA-HA-HA
Same for me but I just used to hit pop ups to the outfield but now I really pull the ball

@@rogerhackler223 that doesn’t make any sense at all
I'm not strong and this helped my game so much. Best tip.

+Raising A Hitter in baseball, yes. in softball, there isn't much to be generated from the the lower half (other than the hip movement)
The "hip movement" IS the lower half.

In slow pitch do you line up the knuckle?
yes
Great Advice
How much of your videos differ at all for Senior Softball with the strike mat?
Thank you!
Thanks man!! I know now what I was doing wrong
Love it!!!
I love that. "Lead with your hands" but the first thing he says is keep your hands back :) :)

I have no clue what this gentleman said..all I know is that my family still shows to every single game because I’m retarded..
