Customer Reviews

Very Helpful

It was helpful to correct my hitting mistakes. I have been out of baseball for 10 years, and I needed some extra help when getting back in the game. Two thumbs up!

great book with visual aid and major league perspective

This book offers major league insight from major league hitting instructors as well as hitting tips from stars like Chipper and Andruw Jones. The book methodically goes through every component of the swing from set up to follow through to mental approach. If you are struggling with your swing, trying to fine tune a part of your swing, simply improve your approach, or just learn the basics this book is very valuable. The photos of amatuer and pro hitters swinging and/or assuming their stances offer great feedback and support to the text description of the how to part of the book. I really believe this book could help any skill level hitter.
