A question for all you coaches?

Wow!

Can't miss with LSU/Bertman and company. Furthermore if Gary Ward (OSU) endorsed this guy, it must be good.

The program has all the elements required of generating leverage and bat speed.

As any program. final results are determined by applying these techniques to the game. This program is producing good results from the statistics presented.

My only problem with the BLAST explanation is the implication that the back foot should be off the ground at the point of contact.

I tend to agree with Wille. I have learned and taught the blast system, but never to a high school kid. When a kid has made a college program as a college level hitter wth some power, this program can enhance it greatly. You need a dedicated player who has some hitting ability IMO. I have been able to teach it to quiet a few college hitters and seen some success. As I cannot follow them around, much of it is up to the kid to train and drill. Younger kids seem to get off balance, and at the high school level I have always taught to hit gap to gap and use the whole field. Blast is a power hitting system that usually becomes a pull hitting system. Nothing wrong with it, in fact a lot right with it for many higher level players.

Thanks,

I have been doing the drills and all the stuff for a while now and I have been wondering if it a great program to follow.

Coachric, I dont see how it is a pull hitting system . One of the main things is early (pull)-Late timing. Could you please explain.

Thanks Agian

If you read my line it says Usually becomes a pull system. It is a long ball hitting approach. Most hitters who drive to their front foot and begin, Read I said begin, abandoning their back foot or raising it through the swing, are not in a good position to handle stuff low and way, or breaking stuff. This I know through experience. Ths is real life stuff, not work in the cage stuff. If you are old anough to see good stuff, you will find out on your own. Become a complete hitter then work on enhancing those abilities is my theory. IMHO.

Thanks, I get your drift now.
