Train for next season while watching the Fall Classic

I just found a great hitting tool

I don't often get impressed by new gadgets for baseball (this one also works for fast or slo-pitch softball) as it seems most have been invented, but this one I was so impressed with I ordered one right away.

It even has a built in recommendation, as the 2006 American League Batting Champ, Joe Mauer, used this device since he was a kid as his father was the one who invented it and had him and his two brothers, who were also drafted by major league teams, use it almost every day indoors or out (depending on the weather).

It forces you to concentrate on the ball and makes you hit it quick as it uses gravity to create the moving pitch to hit. It can use baseballs or softballs and even plastic balls, including the golf ball sized balls.

I can't tell you or show you fully here so go to my website that describes the Mauer's Quick Swing

World Series and Playoff Schedules

What to do while watching the Fall Classic and playoffs

But don't just end there, use the time to squeeze a stress ball or do your exercises, or even take your hacks into a net off the Quick Swing you just got :) (or hit off a tee). All of this can be done while watching the game.

Visualize yourself hitting off the best pitchers in the world in the highest level of play, timing their fastball, connecting with their splitter or curve, and waiting and crushing their change.

Movie and video alerts

Sort of a "The Rookie" type story and movie in that it's true and has a lot of great baseball elements and what the kids do to have a great last season in 1991.

You can learn more about it from their movie site, NorwayBaseball.com

On a lesser baseball video note, this next recommendation is only for people who like silly things. If you like David Letterman's segment "Will it Float?", you'll probably enjoy this guy's YouTube answer to the question "Will it blend?" where he puts a baseball in a blender to see if the ball is really "juiced".

Upcoming Secret News

How's that for being on a valuable list! Tell your friends to sign up to be on this list by signing up at the website.

You will be the first to know of a new hitting product being invented as we speak. You will see these at just about every game being used in warm ups and most coaches and serious players will want one.

I expect to see the production prototype tomorrow, I've already played with the early prototype that was sent down for patent review with some of my students and it works great.

How did I get to be in on the inside of such a device?

Actually it came about from one of my student's fathers and what I challenged them to do was their inspiration for the device. (Don't I feel special?)

I have permission from the inventor to let you be the first people in the country and around the world (as some of you are in many other countries than just the US) to see this and get one for your very own.

I'll let you know when it's ready, but it shouldn't be too far away.

It won't interfere with the QuickSwing as a competing product. They only overlap in that you can get many swings in, in a relatively small space. But the QuickSwing has 3 levels (or speeds) where this uses more of the standard toss speed but is very portable, which is why you'll see these at every game as a warm up device.

I've probably told you too much already. You'll just have to wait until you see the special newsletter announcing its arrival! Again, remind your friends, fellow coaches, and teammates to sign up to be on this list at my website.

Thanks for reading and talk to you next time.
