Make your practice swings quality swings!

Bill Krejci leads off this baseball hitting DVD by building sound swing mechanics. Learn where to set up in the box, how to stay balanced when you swing, proper hand placement on the bat, selecting your bat to maximize swing velocity and getting the best grip. Moving into the sequence of the swing, Krejci takes you through the load, stride, hand press, contacting the ball and finishing the swing. Krejci teaches each technique using word pictures and cue words that you can use to effectively coach your athletes.

To perfect the execution of these essential swing mechanics, Krejci coaches demonstrators through 15 drills and shows how each drill can provide instant feedback on your athlete's swing. Krejci focuses on getting quality swings versus quantity swings and how to adjust your athlete's mechanics to improve his execution of the swing.

These drills improve swing mechanics, hand quickness, balance, contact, reaction to pitch placement, making adjustments to the fastball and change up, and more. Throughout the drills, Krejci provides tips for correctly feeding drills such as soft toss that will make the most of your practice time.

Krejci uses both traditional and non-traditional baseball equipment to create effective, challenging drills. For example, the "Ball on a Rope" drill teaches players to drive the ball and finish their swing.

Do more in batting practice than work up a sweat. Use Krejci's program to learn the proper execution of the swing and how to make your "quantity swings," quality swings.
