🦶🏼🔌 Shoes Off For Better Ground Connection & Lower 1/2 Stability 🔌🦶🏼

✔️ Here’s why hitting without shoes can help you feel more connected to the ground, engage your lower half, and improve your balance:

1️⃣ Feel Better Ground Connection

• When you’re barefoot, your feet have direct contact with the ground, allowing you to feel every shift of weight and pressure.

• This heightened sensory feedback helps you understand how to transfer energy from the ground up, making your swing more powerful and efficient.

2️⃣ Engage Your Lower Half

• Without the cushioning of shoes, your body naturally recruits more muscles in your legs and hips for stability and power.

• This helps hitters learn how to use their legs properly, leading to better and more efficient pelvic rotation.

3️⃣ Improve Balance

• Training barefoot forces you to stabilize through your foot’s intrinsic muscles, improving balance and posture into & through your swing.

• A balanced hitter is a consistent hitter—reducing unnecessary movements and creating a more efficient swing.

4️⃣ Reinforce Proper Mechanics

• Poor mechanics, like collapsing your back leg, spinning the feet or losing posture, are harder to mask when barefoot.

• This allows you to identify and fix bad habits quickly, improving overall body awareness.

✔️ Shoes off

✔️ Grip the ground

✔️ Rip the turf off the floor
