The most successful hitters in today’s game play the game “one pitch at a time” better than the rest.  They prepare themselves for battle each and every pitch. They have developed an approach and mindset that gives them extreme confidence which results in a competitive edge over the pitcher. They understand timing, force generation, present moment focus and the power of routines and how to be in control of themselves. You can learn the secrets to their success and become one of them.

With the use of Perry Husband’s ground breaking research and development in the hitting arena, we have put together a hitting program that is unparalleled. You will learn how to create more power, hit the ball harder and farther, more consistently and more on time.  After all, hitting is timing.  As Chipper Jones says, “be where you need to be when you need to be there.”

Through the use of certified tests with objective measurements and expert video analysis, we will be able to tell you where you are and what you need to work on to improve your swing. In addition, with these certified tests, we will be able to let you know how you compare with your peers in the area and around the country. 

We will measure your performance in the beginning and the end to show you your improvement.
The two key measures of your swing efficiency are Line Drive Consistency (LDC) and Average Exit Speed

  • Line Drive Consistency – we’ve developed a repeatable, reliable method to measure your ability to consistently hit line drives; both off a tee and with live pitching.  For each test, you take a series of swings that are all scored with our system.  An average score of at least .350 off the tee and 3.5 off live pitching is considered efficient.
  • Average Exit Speed – using the Stalker Pro-II radar we measure exit speed, the speed of the ball coming off your bat; both off a tee and live pitch.  For an efficient swing, your average exit speed should be at least 90% of your top exit speed. The more efficient your swing, the higher your exit speed will be, therefore, your top exit speed is a measure of your peak efficiency.  If you can swing near (90% or higher) this peak efficiency consistently then you have developed true swing efficiency.
Perry Husband has identified the 7 key functional skills for swing efficiency.  We couple these with proper mindset and mental training for a complete hitting program.

1   One Pitch at a Time Approach
2   Mindset
3   Deliberate Practice
4   Elastic Energy
5   Leverage
6   Momentum

HITTING PROGRAM 2 - HITTING IS TIMING
coming soon

The main focus of this program is pitch recognition and timing. Learning and training how to be on-time to contact at or near our peak power with consistency. That task is a very difficult one, perhaps the most difficult in sports.  Without swing efficiency, the timing must be near perfect to produce 90-100% swing output. Confidence that your swing is solid gives you the best chance to maximize your growth in this level of training.
