Been super impressed with all the @Aj Arroyo content on YouTube, particularly the excellent suggestions on "where to start" with Youth players. Got the mini snap pro LH bat because Elliott (turns 10 in a week) is a pure lefty. But then, once I had the bat and tried swinging LH myself, I decided I needed to feel the feels myself and so I got a RH bat so I could feel how the HLP doesn't match my natural swing. VERY glad I did. Right obliques/RIBS area is SORE after a couple of sessions of doing things differently than I've always done them. Anyway, it was crystal clear to me that I topped out as an EXTREMELY bad hitter in baseball because I was just TOO SLOW to launch... and I wanted to avoid that for Elliott. So we got started on the staying back part for Elliott, but when I saw your Ad for the Mini on YouTube, I thought he could use it. And a couple of sessions later, after it arrived, he had his best two hits of the season across 3 or so games... and I could see when I slowed it down how much he'd started to incorporate the right ideas... not least because he hit it quite solidly oppo on that swing. But part of it for me, too, is just that I'm a good hitter in slow pitch softball more or less because I can place the ball where I want to by throwing my hands where I wanted to go, but I just couldn't hit the ball anywhere near as far as my buddy who was a hair taller than me, but not stronger... ...so I want to use my legs more effectively in the swing as well... so I'm interested in the HLP, because it's just obviously a better way to use the legs than whatever I did before. As far as home setup, we've got a bunch of local fields, a cage, a driveway and a net... Video 1 below was me just farting around with him this morning asking him to just PASTE a few. Video 2 was his best recent in-game contact. ...but I DID have a question. And that is... when *I* swing, any swing longer than a snap stop feels EXTREMELY awkward unless I turn loose with my top hand and finish the swing one handed (both hands come around, but I'm only holding the bat with my bottom hand). Is that basically normal, or is it more a sign of something to work on?

Have basics, working on mastery
Hi, my name is Chris Lange and I’m from Chicago, Illinois. I purchased the Mini Half Bat from Launchd and I hope to get these 3 things from Swing Nirvanna: 1. Get my children 9 and 11 (Baseball and Softball) to learn how to incorporate the forward move of the load/coil more effectively.   2. Unleashing the coil correctly instead of just swiveling and rotating the torso. 3. Mastering the snap and barrel turn to create that “whoosh of air” sound behind them.  Make it automatic. (Launch Quickness)

Hi, my name is Austin Frey and I’m from Indiana. I purchased the Mini-Snap Pro from Launchd and I hope to get these 3 things from Swing Nirvana: 1. A deeper understanding of HLP in order to better explain the technique to others. 2. Better ways to implement drills for individuals with unique needs within HLP. 3. A reference point to look back on be constantly learning about HLP.

Love @Aj Arroyo and all the content that is put out. Just purchased the bundle kit to help my son develop himself. Looking to get the following: - consistent hard contact - repeatable swing - overall knowledge of the swing Can wait to dive head first into everything when the bats arrive.

Hello, my name is Troy . We live in Kentucky. My three grandsons (5,8,10 years old ) are the reasons I am interested in HLP. I have an athletic lefty, righty, and ambidextrous little fellas that enjoy baseball and other sports. We hope to improve 1.)Launch Q 2). Rear leg coil 3).overall muscle memory with the HLP technique. I have purchased the mini snap and looking very forward to smaller versions of the other bats for these children.
