There are players as young as 6 years old as well as professional hitters at the “AAA” level.

Our product is backed by “FACTS”, I personally did a 4 week test study and the results are staggering, even beyond my expectations. I had no idea hitters test scores would range from a 30% to 217% improvement in such a short period of time. All I can say is you won’t believe it until you try it for yourself.

Absolutely Not, you need to learn the basics first! I think we would all agree that it makes sense to learn the “right way, right away”! We start school at 5 to learn the right way so why would anyone wait 5 years then have to relearn the right way… be 5 years ahead not 5 years behind when your child is 10 years old!

Age has nothing to do with it, when they are ready for the next level has everything to do with it. Heck they might not even be ready for the next level, I don’t think there is anything wrong with challenging them or preparing them for the next level. There needs to be a balance between challenging them to where they fail and building their self confidence so they feel good about their performance.How much does a young gymnast who is training to become and Olympic athlete challenge themselves and fail? Every single day they fall, but they get up and try it again, then they fall again get up and try again and again and again! We learn from our mistakes… don’t we! Yes the more advanced stages may be harder at first but lets not be afraid to challenge our hitters at a young age.

Remember hitting is the only thing in life where if you fail 70% of the time you are considered successful (.300 average). Making it hard so they fail is perfectly okay as long as you don’t go overboard, it teaches them how to handle adversity and how to be strong and become determined to get better or excel as a hitter. We also need to improve their confidence so I recommend you start off with the basics which should be fairly easy, challenge in the middle and then finish off were they are feeling good about themselves at the end of the day even though it won’t always turn out this way. Why? So they feel good and want to come back and do it again. I also recommend you do whatever you can on a game day to get them as confident as possible!

There are various stages, some basic (for beginners at any age level) and some which are advanced for players which are ready for the next level. The PSPHS was designed to help players learn the basics as well as challenge them to advance to the next level when they are ready… regardless of their age. It’s like learning a new software program, it’s hard at first but we start with the basics and the more we use it the easier it gets and the more advanced we become.

You aren’t the only one who has said this. We have people who look at it and say it looks easy and others who say it looks to advanced, that’s what is nice about the product, it is for all age and skill levels.

I am a coach as well and over the past 18 years specializing in hitting at the youth level and 5 years in professional baseball, it doesn’t matter if I know how to use it. The fact is over 80% of hitters I tested DO NOT use the batting tee “EFFICIENTLY”, yes even at the younger professional levels! Lets face it most hitters just put a ball on the tee and swing, in many cases it is rapid fire. There is rarely any purpose and in most cases none what so ever, this is a major contributing factor in the development of poor swing mechanics and why players struggle more when they face better pitching or advance to higher levels.Our testing program has undoubtably proven that players focus and commitment to developing the proper swing mechanics dramatically increases, resulting in more consistent solid contact.

Test study results…(learn more)

Yes, we intentionally made this product simple to use. All you will need to do is review the instructional DVD which is included. I recommend you learn the basics 1) Where to stand at home plate 2) Where to stride or step 3) Hit the “Red Contact Balls” to the proper fields. Believe it or not you will be well ahead of many coaches because these three simple steps are very rarely taught at the lower levels or should I say rarely applied properly. Once you are confident teaching the basics you can start working towards the yellow and green balls. Take your time and learn the right way, you don’t need to have played in order to teach these basics principles. Check back with us we will have lessons available for new coaches/teachers!

Your not alone, many hitters do find it hard at first, this is simply telling you he/she is not swinging properly. The good news is you have a product that will correct these problems when used properly. I recommend you use the PSPHS prior to any other hitting you do. Hitters who make it part of their daily routine will notice it gets easier the more they use it. There is a learning curve to things that are new to us, even though swinging a bat may not be new, swinging it properly is likely very new. Please make sure they don’t give up or use it less because it is hard, the problem will still be there down the road. Remember hitting gets tougher the higher the level you go so it’s important to work hard and smart for the best chance of future success. Refer to the DVD as much as possible, watching it once isn’t enough.

This will vary for each individual. For example a person who goes to the gym once a week won’t get in as good of shape as someone who is there 3-5 times a week. The other key is to practice with a purpose or have a plan, meaning think of how you are going to swing the bat before you swing it. If you don’t get the result you are looking for make another adjustment before your next swing. It all comes down to making a series of small adjustments and learn from them, this is how we get better in everything we do. Players that want to continue to improve, continue to do the little things the right way on an ongoing basis and so should you. There is a saying in professional baseball the difference between a player in the major leagues and the minors, is the major leaguer makes the same mistakes however they are just more consistent at doing it the right way!

No, do not back off the plate, it is telling you that your swing is long and you need to keep working hard at trying to develop a shorter compact swing. This may take some time depending on how often you use the product, be patient and keep working. If you are working on the yellow ball on the inside corner, keep in mind this is the hardest ball on the PSP to hit. You may also have to relax more with deep breaths and learn not to swing too hard. Over swinging creates tension and a long swing.

You won’t hit them as hard, they are pitches that beat you or you started to swing too late.

The purpose of the yellow balls is develop a short swing and keep your bat head inside the ball so you can still make solid contact, if your swing is long you will jam yourself and more likely hit a weak ground ball. The middle and inside yellow balls are the two toughest to hit consistently on the PSPHS.

This means you are not finishing your swing, in other words your bat head is coming up and out of the zone just as you are making contact with the ball. Keep working on them this is the specific reason they are on the PSP to force you to keep your bat head in the zone longer. Follow the swing path and extesion arrows.

First off, do not give up these are the toughest for most hitters, so keep practicing. The key is to stay relaxed and not to over swing, swinging to hard creates tension and a longer swing. The whole reason they are on the PSP is for you to learn how to pull your hands through first with the bat head dragging behind your hands and staying inside the ball. You are most likely releasing the bat head too soon this is referred to casting the bat head. A good drill is to get the hitter to get a feel for what they are trying to accomplish by doing the drill slowly, I recommend starting at approximately 40% effort and slowly working your way to a full swing.

This means one of two things. 1) you may have a long swing and are getting around the ball therefore hitting the outside part of the ball or 2) just as you are about to make contact with the ball your front side (hands, shoulder or elbow) are lifting up out of the zone, pulling off or rolling over to soon. You need to relax your front side, finish your swing and keep the bat head in the zone as long as possible. Look at the swing path and extension arrows on your PSP this is the path your barrel head needs to stay on. Make sure your front elbow stays down by your side and doesn’t lift up into what is referred as a chicken wing.

You will see an example of this on our instructional DVD. It is an excellent drill for getting a lot of reps and practicing your hitting, the coach or parent is approximately 15-25 feet in front of home plate with a protective screen in front of them for your protection. You can either throw the ball underhand or overhand which ever you are most accurate at throwing strikes. This can be done in the cage, an open field or on the baseball/softball field. If you don’t have a lot of room, using wiffle balls in the back yard will work as well.
