TCB Weighted Balls for Hitting
One of our favorite training tools for hitting! These weighted balls help hitters feel how to "stay through the ball" with instant feedback. They come in different sizes for both softball and baseball, but we recommend the baseball sized balls (in the link below) for all hitters. These balls are the perfect replacement for hitting basketballs and much easier to bring! They don't travel far when hit so they are also great for hitting in smaller spaces and pre-game. Happy hitting! CLICK HERE FOR THE TCB WEIGHTED BALLS

Let's Talk About Timing
One of the biggest mistakes hitters make is thinking timing is about when you start your load. It’s not. Timing is typically defined by where the ball and bat meet relative to the front foot. Too far in front of the front foot = early Too far behind the front foot = late Right around or just in front of the front foot = on time The next question you have to ask yourself is : what controls that contact point? There is a lot you have to complete before the bat meets the ball, almost 90% of the entire swing is completed by the time the ball and the bat actually meet. So creating timing is really about when your front foot gets down — because your front foot landing is what tells your body it’s ready to rotate. So when we are making adjustments to timing against slower or faster pitchers, or are just struggling with timing in general, we want to focus on the front foot timing, NOT load timing. Load timing, at least your starting point, should remain relatively consistent. A good rule of thumb is that when the pitcher starts to move, so you do, slow and early. Facing a faster pitcher? Load slow and early. A slower pitcher? Load slower and early. Start your load early and slow, no matter the speed of the pitcher. Now to front foot timing. The general standard: Your front foot should land around when the ball is halfway to home plate. Adjustments: - Faster pitching → foot down slightly before halfway home - Slower pitching → foot down slightly after halfway home The key is NOT rushing your move. Slow pitching = early and load slower. Fast pitching = slow and early. Timing is one of the MOST IMPORTANT PARTS of hitting, without it, consistency is near impossible.

SIMPLIFY!
Most of the time as hitters when we face failure we’re so quick to think our swing has a problem. Though this can be true, majority of the time we can fix our mistakes by answering 3 simple questions. 1.) Was I on time? 2.) Was it a strike? 3.) What part of the ball did I hit? Before trying to reinvent the wheel with your swing every time you have a bad at bat, start with these 3 questions to SIMPLIFY your adjustment process. Most of the time success as a hitter can heavily depend on these 3 things, so KEEP IT SIMPLE!
