My guess is you don’t and I didn’t either for 17 years. In a game, our success is measured by our batting average. There is absolutely no measurement off a batting tee for a hitter to know if they are swinging properly and developing more consistent bat control… until now. Most people think the tee is a simple tool and it is, unfortunately more often than not it is used incorrectly. You will find out in the first 30 minutes if you are using it properly with our measurement tool… The Performance Tracking Hitting Logs Testing Program. Here is what a Sr. High School player thought when he first used it…

As I  was first introduced to the PSPHS I thought you have to be kidding me dad. It looked liked something for younger players. Boy, was I wrong. It instantly showed me the areas I was weak in. My first session off the Tee proved to be a lot tougher than It looked. It even got tougher once we moved to front toss especially when we were working on the yellow and green contact balls which are on either side of the “red” ideal contact balls. However, over time I quickly saw myself improving. My OBA , AVG. & Slug AVG starting climbing. There is no question the ability to say in the hitting zone longer makes me a tough out and the ability to hit to all fields with authority has doubled my extra base hits.

See the problem isn’t when we’re doing the tee work with them, it’s when they are hitting off the tee on their own. Why would I assume my hitters are using the tee properly? We know the majority of hitters just place the ball on the tee and swing, and in most cases they are positioned so they can barrel up every ball, so it feels like they are doing it right. Something as little as incorrect body position or  incorrect tee placement will create poor swing mechanics.

We add tee stations to give them more swings, but the truth of the matter is hitters typically set the tee up, down the middle, and hit into a sock net. Every hitter should be able to hit the pitch down the middle. What about a pitch down on the outside part of the plate, down and in, up and in? This is where pitchers are told to pitch hitters, so why do hitters place the tee down the middle 80 to 100% of the time? It doesn’t make sense.

You may be thinking, how could I possibly watch everyone to make sure they are working efficiently? You can’t and I couldn’t either. There is only so much we can see or do at any given time with a team of hitters.

Hitters need to take responsibility, for example, they need to understanding what is the right way, have a road map to follow on how to do it the right way and the ability to measure their success rate. This is why I developed the Perfect Swing Path Hitting System because it does all these things. Coaches: It will give peace of mind knowing that your hitters get it! I didn’t just slap this thing together, it’s been 10 years of thought and 3 years of development and testing to see if it really works and I’ll put my reputation on the line. So far our testing has proven 100% of the players improved their bat control and here is why.

The Performance Tracking Hitting Logs (PTHL) determine their strengths and weaknesses so they now have a starting point. It determines their success rate on all pitch locations in the hitting zone and when they know they are going to be retested in a month, they have something to work towards… Beat their last score! The PTHL’s get hitters to think about each swing they take and what the result was. If it wasn’t a good result, they think of the necessary adjustment they need to make before their next swing and then they swing. This is practicing with a purpose and it all starts with proper positioning of the body in relationship to home plate and the tee location depths in the zone.

Hitting off the tee is a bigger problem than many would think. If you are looking for a product that teaches hitters how to be more focused and committed when hitting off the tee, then you found it! Until now there was no way to measure a hitter’s success rate off the batting tee. All your hitters have to do is follow the simple steps on the instructional DVD. [to product page]
