  4. Preparation • Chose a bat that fits you • You want it to be the lightest without sacrificing length • If the bat is too heavy “ Choke Up” on the bat • Two types of bats: • Metal • Wood

  5. Get a Grip • Find a grip that works for YOU. • Line up the your “Door Knocking” knuckles.

  6. Take a Stance • You want a stance that works for you. • Make sure you are balanced. • Doesn’t need to be fancy. • Decide whether or not you want to take stride

  7. Time to Swing Away • “Load the hands” and shift the weight on your back leg • Start the hips through the zone • Have the hands follow • Generate “Bat Lag” • Lead with the knob of the bat • Hands through the zone first and the bat will follow • Creates a whip-like action makes the ball “jump” off the bat • Follow through the zone with two hands on the bat • During your swing you should keep your chin tucked and your eyes on the ball
