Book Overview

For a baseball player, there is nothing more frustrating than struggling at the plate. Hitters--no matter how accomplished--experience hitting slumps, for both mechanical and mental reasons. Their challenge--and yours--is to contain them for a short period of time. The Louisville Slugger Complete Book of Hitting Faults and Fixes identifies the sources of fifty distinct hitting faults that lead to problem swings and includes drills specifically designed to help you correct them.

The step-by-step approach starts from the ground up, including:

Problems in the stance: hot feet, poor positioning in the box Pre-swing movements: no coil in torso, overstriding, hitching before swinging Hip rotation and weight transfer: little or no weight transfer, over-rotating The swing: uppercutting, casting your hands, pulling your head off the ball Mental approach: fear of failure, poor judgment of the strike zone, failing to recognize pitch patterns

The instruction behind each fault also features unique insight from a major league hitter or professional coach. These tips also allow you to get inside the best minds in the business and apply their wisdom to your own game. By applying the book's systematic approach, including lots of practice, you will be able to dissect your swing, identify mistakes, and put yourself on the correct path to recovery and success, becoming a true student of the swing.

Very Helpful

It was helpful to correct my hitting mistakes. I have been out of baseball for 10 years, and I needed some extra help when getting back in the game. Two thumbs up!

great book with visual aid and major league perspective

This book offers major league insight from major league hitting instructors as well as hitting tips from stars like Chipper and Andruw Jones. The book methodically goes through every component of the swing from set up to follow through to mental approach. If you are struggling with your swing, trying to fine tune a part of your swing, simply improve your approach, or just learn the basics this book is very valuable. The photos of amatuer and pro hitters swinging and/or assuming their stances offer great feedback and support to the text description of the how to part of the book. I really believe this book could help any skill level hitter.
