Batting - Final Points

Hard-Quick

This is a concept to apply later in the season when batter(s) have demonstrated a decent level of competency in their swing. At least they have shown they understand what they are trying to achieve when working on the actions of the swing.

HARD

The first part of the swing involves the large muscles of the legs and back (Knee-Elbow). In this aspect they apply as much force as possible. If we were to vocalize the word ‘HARD’ it would be a deep, gruff, forceful, “HARD!”

QUICK

The smaller muscles in the forearms/Wrist (top-hand to be specific) take the force created by the large muscles and Guide that energy straight, along the Swing Line (path of hands). If we were to vocalize the word ‘QUICK’ it would be a light and breathy, “quick”.
