The same advice can be said for a lot of hitters. You don't need the new Hype Fire to hit better. You just need to turn more.

My man @iamSauceGardner finally realising it’s not the clubs… it the guy on the end of them 😂. Bro… you’ve bought an entire proshop when all you needed to do was turn some more 😂👊🏼. What a legend! . One of us, one of us 😂

Toe-dominant loading strategies often lead to early hip extension. The fix? Hinge and stay hinged during load/stride!. Here's @JevinPatterson learning to hinge properly:. ➡️Kershaw Drill.➡️Tee behind him to reinforce hinge pattern during stride.➡️Angled Plyos.➡️TURN

Want to diagnose a hitter's issues quickly?. Watch their feet. Toe-dominance & a ton of lateral force (often seen as jumping off the back side) can create a few issues:. ➡️Generally Late timing and/or rotation.➡️Handsy sequencing .➡️Trouble getting the ball in the air pull side

In a perfectly sequenced swing, the torso decelerates to help deliver the lead arm. If your front arm is casting off and pushing, you’re going to struggle with a down and across swing. Give this feel a try before you swing 👀🔥

Training bat speed from different angles is vital to maintaining positions and creating an efficient path. We've got @jackcooper1028 training bat speed with direction: .⚡️Oppo angled CB with a barrel load .⚡️Pull angled SL with a handle load .⚡️ Straight on FB with an underload
