I found a 3 week hitting program for free on thehittingproject.com. I will post the link on the bottom. I was wondering what you guys think of it and should I use it. I was also wondering if I should use my game bat or a heavier wood bat because this program has hitters take over 1,000 swings in three weeks.http://www.thehittingproject.c.../hitting-program.pdf

Looks like an interesting program.  As for what bat to use I would use a wood bat that feels similar to your regular bat.  The wood will let you know when you hit the sweet spot of the bat.  All of the older/better players I know train with wood.  IMNHO, the time to use a heavier bat is when you're doing overload/underload training and make sure that the weight is sensible.

Low,

I do the one-hand drills with my son.  I like the top hand drill because it trains him to keep the barrel from dropping through the swing, and the bottom hand drill encourages a short swing.  This only works with a high tee (didn't see this mentioned in this program).  Also, I didn't see tee position mentioned in this program with respect to hitting to opposite field vs up the middle vs pull.
