I like the Ted Williams reference. The hips help you get on plane with the pitch much easier than your hands do.

The hips lead the way, they don't put you on plane.

Awesome! My Son's coach was just explaining to him the importance of using this during batting 👍🏻

I love the weekly instructional videos. Thank you.

Awesome video man, I found what I was looking for

Absolutely fantastic instruction. Thanks, coach!

Just what I needed

Nice video coach Justin keep it up I will use this

Thank you!

This video really helped me! When I was younger my grandpa always told me to squish the bug and that’s why I needed this video. Because if what my grandpa said I have been just spinning and not driving

Great tips!

Great Video - Thank you!

This really helped

Thanks for the video. I have two boys 11, & 12, and we've been searching for some good way to figure out how to sequence parts of the swing. The front heel land to launch the hip turns is helpful. Never was sure whether we "fire the back leg first, or fire the hips first". Which was the chicken and which was the egg. Your answer was helpful. Neither. It starts up front. Who would have though that? Thanks again. Dan, David and Evan -- baseball lovers in Allen Texas

Nice tips

The best hitting video besides Tony Gwynn's you tube from sportsskol. Wow the best explanation. I knew what i did and semi knew how tp teach it but the back foot-leg was difficult to explain to kids.

It is amazing how many little league coaches have no clue on how to hit or teach it. These are great tips, 1 coach on my team walked away when I started teaching them these same methods like I was incorrect. So many kids are being denied good coaches and it is a shame.

God bless. EVERYTHING follows the hips. Keep the head down, shoulders square, release. Interestingly, throwing is no different.

thank

This is what I needed I have to use my hips to generate power. And right now if I get my hips working I can be a even better. Hitter. I’m not all arms bud I need to use my hips more.

do you have any tips for staying through the ball with your hips and hands?

I like the explanation of kinetic explosion. Instead of squash the bug its smashing. Hitting the explosion button with ur front foot transferring the explosion to your back leg thrusting you hip to rotate and then smashing the ball.

What type of hand grips do you recommend??

Can you do a video on toe tap cause that's my swing right now and also can you get your foot off the ground

Can you make a video how to stop turning in your baseball swing like pulling off the ball

Love this Soo much for my softball kid! Very helpful

For hip rotation at 5:37 , why do the hips rotate to varying degrees depending on the ball location? Is that something you should give focus to, or is it just the byproduct of something else?

How can I work on getting more extension!?

Skateboarding is great lower body/hips workout

Hey Coach! I'm a lefty batter and whenever i bat my right foot steps out and it is frustrating. Do you have any tips? Could you maybe make it into a video

Lay a 2 x 4 behind your heels pointing out to the pitcher. Then take bucket after bucket off the tee to implement muscle memory and obviously not stepping on the 2 x 4. Pretty soon you'll forget all about it. Also, when you 'step in the bucket' all your friends and teammates think you're scared. Let that be part of your motivation. Good luck!

How to keep your front shoulder closed? I need help with this.

Is there any other ways for me to hit farther and harder. I’m a 10 year old hitting I’ve 200+ feet

What’s up my hip pops out when I’m hitting any tips

Squash the bug helps with kids that rotate their hips but try to keep their back foot planted for balance. I've seen it dramatically help kids when used this way. If a kid is not actively using their hips then telling them to squash the bug is not the best method. I've found that telling them to snatch their belt buckle to 3rd base works better.

Hey!! You probably wouldn’t see this but how do I see the ball if I turn my hips. I use mostly all arms

@larrysquires5321

Keep your shoulder square and head down.

Can yall make a video on how to time your swing and not pull your head. Thats literaly all i do in my swing.

Alright I can land with front foot slightly open but as soon as I start the swing it just goes from slightly open to facing the pitcher

I know how to do this but someone just told me to watch this

If you are swinging correctly, your hips will actually lift your back foot off the ground. Check out any elite hitter and you will see this action. Driving your weight into a firm front side is the key to increasing your power.

Thank you , I play cricket and just needed to assure myself that you use your hips too in batting .

Step or no step?

How People say water: Americans: wodder British: wotter Russians: wodka

Probably THE best advice you've provided for young players. But, the hips should rotate the same no matter what. The hands (base of bat towards ball) and barrel of bat follow. You should just watch the Ted Williams video, eg cock the hip, pull the hip, release. Baseball is all about getting on base.
