[Mass hits and HR production] Introducing the latest baseball gear that can improve your batting form

Hello everyone! This is Amazing Baseball Partners!

It is often said that batting is a fickle thing. No matter how skilled a batter is, their performance will vary from day to day, and they must always think about how to keep producing results despite the overlapping of various factors, such as compatibility with the opposing pitcher and mental aspects.

It's a difficult road to consistently produce results, but the path will open up if you can develop a swing that increases the probability of a hit or a home run.

So, in this article we will introduce some recommended practice methods and practice gear that will help you increase your chances of getting a hit or a home run, so if you're interested, please read on!

Two abilities that increase the probability of a hit or home run

① Increase your swing speed

By increasing your swing speed, you can hit the ball faster and farther. If you hit the ball so hard that the defense can't catch up, it's a hit, and if you hit it far enough to go over the fence, it's a home run.

So how much should you increase your swing speed to? As a guide, we looked into the average swing speed for each generation.

• The average swing speed of a professional baseball player is 140 km/h.
• The average swing speed of high school baseball players is 120 km/h.

It is said that there is a difference of about 20 km between high school baseball and professional baseball players. It is said that the top professional players exceed 150 km, so if you aim for 140 km, you can say that you have a top-class swing speed in amateur baseball.

② Improve hitting ability

Hitting power is the technique of hitting the ball with the center of the bat.

If you improve your hitting ability, you will be able to hit any ball with your bat , which will reduce strikeouts and definitely increase the chances of a hit or home run.

No matter how fast your swing is, if the ball doesn't hit the bat, it won't fly forward. In order to get a hit or a home run, it is very important to hone your hitting ability.

In order to increase your swing speed, it is important to develop a hitting form that utilizes centrifugal force by taking advantage of the weight of the bat head .

Because baseball is a sport played using equipment, it is important to master the hitting form that makes the most of the weight of the bat, without relying on arm strength. If you learn this swing, you will be able to increase your swing speed in a short period of time.

Learn to swing using the weight of the head (centrifugal force)

A representative sport that uses centrifugal force is the "hammer throw" in track and field. In the hammer throw, the athlete rotates an average of seven times within the prescribed circle before throwing the hammer, but the first two rotations are done on the spot, and then the athlete rotates while taking a run-up. It is said that the reason for the first two rotations on the spot is that the start of centrifugal force is not yet determined .

Now let's think about this in terms of baseball.

In baseball, you can't rotate multiple times on the spot like you can in hammer throwing. Even when you think about the trajectory of the bat, it only rotates about 3/4 of a circle, which is smaller than in hammer throwing.

When trying to generate centrifugal force within this limited rotational movement, there needs to be some timing to ensure that the centrifugal force is activated .

So, when should you incorporate an action that will ensure the activation of centrifugal force in as natural a way as possible into your batting form?

In our recommended hitting form, the moment when you feel the weight of the head the most - "just before the swing" - is defined as the best moment to ensure centrifugal start.

Practice feeling the weight of the head and generating centrifugal force.

In order to ensure centrifugal force activation just before the swing , it is very important that the hand controlling the bat feels the weight of the head .

To explain this in terms of an actual swing, you take a backswing to determine the top, and then establish centrifugal force activation just before starting the swing.

At this timing, imagine dropping the head of the bat behind your head , bend your wrist, and use the rebound force to accelerate the head all at once.

Then, accelerate the swing by imagining the head swinging from the inside to the outside, using your hands to guide it in a large circle .

If you practice swinging a bat with this mindset, you will naturally be able to use the weight of the head to bat using centrifugal force, resulting in the ideal swing with fast and strong head speed .

Key Points

• To generate centrifugal force, it is important to have "centrifugal start" which is the starting point of the force.
• Confirm "Centrifugal Start" just before starting.
• Use your wrists to accelerate your bat swing
• Swing in a circular motion

What you should be especially conscious of is the bending of the wrist . If you look at a series of photos of the batting form of professional baseball players, you will see that the wrist bends back, as shown in the image. This movement is seen in many top batters and can be said to be the mark of a strong hitter . If you can master this movement , the head will naturally run and you will acquire a strong and fast swing .

Head Run Bat: Recommended baseball gear to increase swing speed

I explained that in order to increase your swing speed, it is important to feel the weight of the head and learn to swing using centrifugal force .

We'll introduce you to some recommended baseball gear that will help you easily achieve this awareness and make your head move faster!

HEAD RUN BAT

The Head Run Bat is a training bat with the center of gravity shifted extremely close to the head . Its length and weight of 95cm-900g create a natural rotational motion, allowing you to experience a head running motion that cannot be achieved with ordinary training bats .

It is available in both adult and junior sizes , so it can be used by a wide range of players, from children to adults.

How can you improve your hitting ability?

So far we have talked about ways to increase your swing speed, but no matter how fast you swing, if the bat does not hit the ball, you obviously won't get a hit or a home run.

The essential skill here is hitting power .

Meet ability refers to the technique of hitting the ball with the bat, but how can one improve one's meet ability?

This time I would like to explain how to practice this.

Learn to swing with lines

In order to improve your hitting ability, it is important to be aware of "catching the ball on a line."

"Catching the ball on a line" means that the bat's trajectory is parallel to the ball thrown by the pitcher . If you can get this feeling, the bat will not deviate up or down, and you will be more likely to hit the ball even if the timing is slightly off.

Be careful with swings that hit the ball at a point

On the other hand, there is also the "point hit" style, so if you have this type of hitting form you need to be careful .

A "swing that hits the ball at a point" is the opposite of a "swing that hits the ball along a line," in which the swing intersects with the ball in a perpendicular direction. This means that there is only one point of contact with the ball's trajectory, drastically reducing the chances of making a perfect hit.

Get Line Bat is a recommended baseball gear that helps you learn to swing along the line.

In order to improve your hitting ability, it is necessary to develop a swing that is parallel to the pitch .

However, it is actually very difficult to master this swing, and during actual practice it will feel even more difficult because the ball will come to you before you even have a chance to think about it.

Therefore, we would like to introduce you to a training bat that will allow you to easily develop a "swing that hits the ball along a line" during your regular practice swings or while batting off a tee!

GET LINE BAT

The GET LINE BAT is a training bat that features a hitting surface shaped like a shuttlecock .

By trying to make contact with this flat hitting surface you will naturally develop a "swing that hits along a line."

Also, if you don't make a good swing , the ball won't fly properly even if you catch it, so you can tell whether you're making a good swing just by checking the ball you hit.
