Love all the comments from people who think it's so easy. Probably never swung a bat or ever played slo pitch. Been playing for 25 years and it has everything to do with technique not just swinging the bat. I've seen 6'3, 250 pound guys in slo pitch who can't even get it out of the infield. Either popping up or grounding out. I've also seen 150 pound guys cranking home runs every second at bat. All about technique and proper swing. Great video and commentary.

I am 5'10 150 and I have hit a few homers in softball and baseball games. Weight helps a lot but doesn't do shit for you if you can't square up on the ball. I had player on my team who was 6'6 275 and all he did was hit massive fly balls for outs 90% of the time while i hit the gaps and use my speed to get doubles and triples. occasionally i would really slap one good put on over or near the fence. I would rather bat .600-.750 with no homers than .250 with a homerun every game

My hitting has improved after watching this and practicing it.

I played hardball my entire life and going from that to softball was insane. It took me about 6 at bats to move back in the box, I was used to hardball where your up in the box but in arc you need to be as far back as possible

Big time,,, my hitting has improved a lot from watching this last week. We lost the first game of R16 competitive Tournament 2 game elimination last week and made it to if game and almost won it. I've never hit that good before ever. Ty !

Thanks this is my second year. Practice at the sandlot tomorrow and a game on Wednesday thanks.

really appreciate your tips and advices 🙌🏻

Good video. I struggled with the baseball to softball switch for my first couple seasons. The tip that changed everything for me was take my practice swings about shoulders high. I don't swing at alot pitches up there. It just keeps me swinging more down on the ball. I found myself being to impatient and swinging at bad pitches or getting my weight out on my. So I just trashed my baseball stance and start all the way open step up on the pitch. It looks ridiculous but it keeps me back.

thanks for the video sir. This is a big help. When I get a good hit it goes to the fence, but I have had big problems making contact near the handle. I thought It was the pitcher trying to jam me up by pitching it inside. Now that I know it could be a timing issue I can work on that! thanks again

Thank you.. Learned some good tips.. I'm one of those that stand close to plate.

Good video appreciate the methodical explanation and correction

nice swing. Thanks for the tips!

I legit tried the 3 fingers choke down and was able to hit successful and even got a grand slam off of it. Less aiming and more contact with a better delay

Thanks for bringing light to the timing issue for me. I typically stand further back away from the plate assuming i could get my arms extended but still making contact towards the handle. Looks like I need to maybe meet the ball a little further out front.

I started doing it just on the 1st pitch of the game and taking it to help timing. Then swing regular. It just started feeling more natural over time. Just have to pick your pitch because 90% of pitchers will throw you nothing but crap to try make you chase. Then they gotta serve one close. I see people try and do it for extra power but all it ever does is screw themselves in the ground

Excellent video...

Great video. Thank you sir

Great vid

Can’t believe I’ve resorted to this, from being varsity starter as a freshman to not being able to crash a fucking slow pitch bowling ball

You play awesome¡!¡

Great tips. Size does help with power but you need to have good technique regardless. I'm 165 and never try going yard. I hit the ball hard into gaps and use my speed for extra bases. I know plenty 200 plus lb guys that think they can just swing there guys out and hit a dinger. Well without proper technique they either pop out or strikeout. Stick to what you're good at and where your skills are. For me it's my speed and contact.

What is your overall favorite bat to use in a game.... manufacture, weight, end-loaded/balanced, etc? Thanks for the tips

this help me a lot ty

Nice vid

Cool

Thanks for those tips.

Thank you so much for the guidance im a rookie

I’m 59, 5’10 180 and can still take down a 310 foot fence.

Thanks JDog70560.

Hitting the ball to opposite field is a matter of timing an outside pitch just right...

Is there a difference in swinging an end loaded bat as opposed to a balanced bat?

2019

do you know how small a grape is atrsz

my brother in law is always hitting line drive bk at the picher and wants to no why we play in the usssa league where the pich is coming from 10 to 3 feet

Nice tips “Walley”.

Wondering if anyone would be willing to analyze my swing and help me out?

Does this also apply to 16inch softball

Whats the guys name in this video? He did a great job

Is the batters box really that big, Played baseball 10 years ago don't remember

K just saying I'm 5.1 and 90 pounds and I can hit it to the fence so ya wight don't matter it's strength and posture

My first softball game tomorrow 😂😵

I need to know about 16 in

I'm 7'6 360 with 38dd's how can i hit the sweet spot.

LOL. No, but a lot of big, heavy guys who couldn't compete in any other athletic endeavor can be, and have been, very successful in slow-pitch. If you play on fields with a fence, you can be a big home-run hitter, pitch a little, or play first base. I've always played in leagues with big fields and no fences - you can't just be a big guy and swing away every time. I'll can of corn you all day long. You'll have to learn to actually hit, and even then a lack of speed will probably hurt.

So...is the ball still coming underhand and twice the size? ...Just checing

school softball tryouts r comin so im watching theze vids anybody have advice 4 me

im 4"9 and i weigh 86 pounds and im 13, i am in softball in school

DINGER

is there a minimum weight to play slow pitch or something?

Stance: what ever is comfy - thanks :|

This is awesome! We have a poorly-coordinated left-handed 2nd baseman we're willing to trade. Hit me up if you're interested! Also, check out our videos for a good laugh! Keep swingin'.

I'm 6.

wow such a old video .-.

no shit on the batters box comment...every goddamn box is a three foot long pit six inches lower than the plate.

It's slow-pitch softball. Just swing the bat. If you can't hit a ball the size of a grapefruit travelling at half the speed of smell, move onto something easier. Try competitive walking.

is this a meme?

Atrasz you probably cant even hit. Talkin like that, seems like you never played before. No matter what it is, softball/baseball, you always have to have technique

Video on stance. Advice: use whatever stance you want. WTF?

Is the title softball it should be baseball BC softballs better

Wait a minute softball is a girl sport..…

Lol. If you cant hit slow pitch.. you dont need to be playing.

Taking it a bit seriously pal, it’s a fucking girls game!!
