This guy is great. He isnt acting like his way is the only way to hit and gives good examples of how these drills come into olay in the game.

A big thing to point out is the importance of doing these drills in a full length cage. Seeing the ball flight direction and spin will be instant feedback on how good the bat path is.

My Son is a big LSU fan and I took him to the South Carolina vs LSU series last year in Columbia, SC. He met Tommy Tanks, Dylan Crews, Trey Morgan and Paul Skenes. He plays 3rd base and is a big Tommy Tanks fan. After he found your previous video about Tommy's hitting routine, he adopted the same routine. He had a breakout year. He is in the 7th grade and plays for his school's Freshman team. He hit .545 with 1 strikeout. Last week he played in the first tournament with his 12U Summer team, and he hit 2 Home Runs. He has always been a solid hitter, but he really took off after the Tommy Tanks videos.

Love watching this stuff Summers. Nice work.

Awesome drills! Love you alls stuff. I have a daughter going to a P5 for softball and couldn't agree more with the bad barrel dump. Also want to send her to you guys for a week.

This is gold. Thanks for sharing.

Great video, I have to add these drills in my BP!

High Tee drills were what led me to have a .380 BA and a 1.107OPS my last season at NC State… creating backspin to the back of the cage. KUTGW

Awesome video! Thank you!

Great video! 👊😉

Subscribed. Glad this popped up on my feed.

Very impressed. Been watching and digesting as much as possible as coaching 12U including summer All Stars. My son is a talented hitter but can hit with so much more power. I was a pretty good pitcher back in the day. Threw 88mph at 16. Agree 110%. Cranking it up and seriously, seriously challenging batters can have immense benefits during the game. I throw my son about 65-70 mph including sliders and pretty decent breaking balls. I can certainly strike out my son if I am throwing to do it. But when I just throw 70 mpg fastballs? Kids is on top of them. Kid has no fear of them. And kid is an amazing hitter in game times. Struck out twice during regular season and that was early. Proof in the pudding. Problem is, soon I wont be able to throw hard enough. Gonna have to teach my old bones to get better with the off speed stuff! Subscribed and gonna watch many more.

Oh yeah, love these drills.

Phenomenal drill.

No helmet with 100 mph pitching is wild

Three great drills.

Like watching these inside practices.

Just worked this high & tight T drill, seems to help almost instantly, college hitter said felt quicker to the ball on reg zone pitches …interesting feedback

I think everyone has a power v, it's just where in your swing your power v is, sometime earlier and sometime times later depending on where the pitch is and where in the swing a guy makes contact

I’m curious about the high speed drill ? Seems like you could be very susceptible to off speed stuff. Seems like you need to add in some off speed stuff so you’re not so out in front in a game. I do understand the concept. Love the videos! Keep it up!

All good hitters are susceptible to off speed stuff. Bad hitters are susceptible to the fastball. The fastball is thrown more than 60% of all pitches thrown. All hitters are guaranteed fastballs. Choose which you want to be.

If you do the high tee drill it will take no time at all to realize if your doing something wrong. It’ll be super uncomfortable and hard to do the drill if you dump your barrel

Tanks gets the barrel working back too even though u day he doesn't. The homer u show in this clip even shows the barrel working back initially

Lol, your highlight of Tanks clearly shows a rearward launching barrel that you call a barrel dump. Wish I could include the screenshot.

You do have to understand, the barrel will always work rearward first with a good swing mechanic. He’s just focusing on a tight turn vs casting where the barrel has huge separation from the shoulder. Remember guys, this is a quick video and lots of hitting stuff is semantics. Try to see the spirit of the drill vs focusing on the precise way he describes it. These drills make good sense. We call the power V “half or 3/4 swings” to show direction and extension. Always do High T, but will incorporate the tight 1 ball in - high T and max velocity machine as well. It’s just like adding a couple new excercises to your workout to train a new muscle group.

" Why are you calling me? I was never in a slump! Call Dave Concepcion!" ---Pete Rose to his slumping son in the minors.

FWIW: teaching a mechanism that "stops" at contact is a really bad idea. Maybe good for hitters that already know what they're doing (and understand follow-through) but really bad for a hitter that literally does this in a game (they hear/feel the contact, and then let the ball "bounce" off the bat rather than pushing it with power).

Ugh! The V comes at contact with hands in fairly tight to the body, elbows at 30-45 degree angles, you're showing hitters with extended arms after contact, thats the follow through. Anytime anyone mentions extension to a young hitter they think they hit with their arms extended; thats death to a hitter. Also, why anyone would teach a drill that stops the bat is beyond me. You want acceleration through the duration of the swing. That "drill" imparts deceleration. That's one of the culprits (among others) that give so many softball girls a funky two part swing with deceleration at contact. High tee? Sure, gotta be able to hit all quadrants of the zone. Hi velo? Absolutely, as long as it doesn't cause a change in mechanics to just but the bat on the ball rather than swing the bat.

I actually love the power V or finishing as hard as you can as soon as you make contact to feel our decelerator muscles working. While this certainly isn’t the first drill I teach and is something I get to after we understand the swing better, it’s a great drill for immediate feedback in my opinion.

"Dump the barrel" is garbage.

Just a note: Substitute the word “inability” for your use of “unability”. Then you won’t sound so uneducated. Same goes for the beard. Trim it nice and short. Plus do you have to use foul language in your videos? It diminishes you. Don’t look and talk like a hayseed. Your info is great. Just class up your act.

Looks like you have not seen what teacherman is showing. You literally laid the bat back along your arm, which is what he tells you not to do, then claimed that's what he teaches. Losing credibility.

Yeah, and teacherman doesn’t teach dumping the barrel either. He explains very clearly how to hit a high pitch. And it’s basically no different than what this guy showed. That said, I do like these drills!
