I’m a 66 y/o playing rec softball first time ever the past few years. I was watching mainly “rotational swing”, “throw your hands at the ball” -type of videos to get better. I usually hit around .500 season in and season out in our league no matter what. But I never really feel consistent as I always think, “How did I do that and how do I repeat it consistently?” -after every good hit. The word on our field is “softball swing is totally different from a baseball swing.” Which has never made any sense to me. If anything it seems a baseball swing would work great in slow pitch softball since you have plenty of time to be ready for a pitch. So I’m transitioning from the merry-go-round swing to the ferris-wheel swing. I appreciate your videos Matt. You really do well simplifying things with a consistent message. I’m starting to feel like I’m “getting it.” I definitely feel more consistent and in control at the plate. Setting a goal of hitting .600 this next season. In Winter League I’ve already hit several much farther than I ever have before -using your techniques. So much that they checked my bat! LOL - same bat, just trying some new stuff…! Thanks!
This is the best hitting break down I’ve ever seen on here wow
This video is spot on. Great explanation of what it means to "get your lower body into it." Antonelli breaks down the sequence in a straight-forward way. Excellent.
Thanks!!
A gifted and talented teacher! Thanks!
Great video brother
good video
thanks
The concepts explained here are spot on! Many softball players reach 16U/18U/varsity levels having been trained under the notion that girls must have a short swing in order to catch up with the ball when they face high level pitchers. Often, those teaching a “short/compact/quick” swing totally miss the importance of everything demonstrated in this video. Over-emphasis, poor understanding, or poor explanation of the phrases "short/compact" or “short/quick” can easily end up producing a hitter who never reaches their full potential because the shorter the swing, the more difficult it is to create a sequenced swing with “separation”. Without "separation", as explained here, there is no way the body's muscles can generate their maximum power. Muscles of the lower half and upper half must fire in sequence to create, coordinate, and transmit maximum energy to the bat.
I would love to see a video that illustrates the importance of timing at contact. Mechanics and timing are two completely separate factors in hitting and you cannot be successful without both. But one does not create the other. In my experience, a hitter with perfect timing and poor mechanics will outperform a hitter who has perfect mechanics and poor timing. Except in cases of extremely bad mechanics, timing must be emphasized as much as proper mechanics. Yet we as coaches tend to dive into mechanics and ignore timing. 🤔
Our team of 6, 7 , 8 year old young ladies are going to dominate this season. Very exciting and the best practices we have had I have followed you bro , taught your swing, all of it. Appreciate you man!
Great physics lesson. You can see the same conflicting forces at work in Tyson's punches.
Awesome explanation!!! Thanks a lot

WHOA! Stepping up your production game at the end there. Nice. Thanks for the years of great instruction bro!
Matt, I’d be very interested to hear your thoughts on structuring an off-season team hitting session. Are there things you always work on (everydays)? How do you balance consistency while keeping things fresh?
Does your course come with online coaching or mentoring?
I always struggle to stay in sequence when pitch speed or direction drastically changes. I revert back to my hands and upper body.
The thing is How you even know that you are doing this wrong ? is there a method?
He's doing it right. Just not totally explaining it correctly. Your hip movement generates all of your power. It always will. Rely on that. Also, he's doing a great job of staying behind the ball. His hips turn but his head is still and behind. That's crucial
To Power Hit more do what he says but cock your hips by turning your back foots toes inwards two inches that way your hips are already COCKED It notice the power increase
Ughh I seriously need to get this down….frustrating.
biden your fired
This is the best hitting break down I’ve ever seen on here wow
