Hi-My Name is PHIL: I own and instruct at THE BATTING CAGE. Let me tell you something about myself. I have been a Counselor, Coach, Director and Owner of Baseball Camps since 1968. In 1985 I opened a Batting Cage to instruct youngsters in the proper mechanics of hitting a baseball.

This is a frame by frame video with one second intervals for four boys demonstrating there hitting techniques, including trigger, weight shift, extension and finished swing. For more information go to my new website.

Did you ever wonder what's wrong with your child’s swing? Does he have a good batting stance, are his feet to wide or to short, does he hit in an open stance, closed stance or even stance, is he to stiff or does he bend his knees, is he on the balls of his feet or on his heels, are his hands to high or to low, does he wiggle his bat or is it quiet, does he drop his bat or flatten it or drive the knob directly to the ball, does he trigger or hit from a dead stop, is his eye on the ball or is he pulling his head, does he hit the ball with his wrists rolled or plam up palm down, does he collapse his hands on contact or hit to extension, does he hit through the ball or let go of the bat, does he finish his swing or his hand die right after he hits the ball, does he pivot his back foot or use his upper body only, is he leaning foward or bending the back knee, when making contact is he hitting on a bent knee and leaning foward or hitting against a stiff front leg (Rotational Hitting) or hitting on top of his front leg (Linear Hitting), is his front foot opening up to fast and turning on his heal or keeping the front foot in a 45 degree angle, does he lunge at the ball or keep his weight back? These are all questions that have come up. What are the right answers? Read my E-Book and find out.
