Question - I have really enjoyed your video, but all off season my son got taught to let the ball travel , inside you hit in front, middle you hit right at the front edge of the plate, and outside you actually hit it when it is in the middle of the plate, why do so many people teach hitting this way when your way seems so much better?  also do you have any camps anywhere i would be interested.   

Thanks,    Brent Hall

Answer –

Hi, Brent 

I am very glad that you have been able to review the information we have provided for you.  The response that we have received from all over the world has been amazing and very rewarding to know that we have been able to help so many players learn to hit the way the pros do and that these habits will allow them to go as far as their athletic ability will allow in this great game of baseball. 

Your question is very interesting because what you are describing is actually what we do teach in our baseball hitting videos. 

         If the pitch is inside or down the middle, you will hit in front of the plate with a 90 degree pivot as you turn to hit the ball. 

         If the pitch is outside, this pitch will travel deeper into the strike zone, and you will hit this pitch with a 45 degree hip turn, which means that your belly button will be facing the opposite field.  We call this a “hit flex” 

We do not have any clinics planned at this time.  But I hope that you will have the opportunity to use our complete program, which we have available in our Super 8 Hitting System 8 DVD package.  This will provide you all of the drills and tools to implement the techniques.  Be sure that you check this out. 

Thanks for the feedback. 

Best wishes and good luck,

Coach Joe Brockhoff
