February 1, 2024

Hello!

Amazing baseball partners!

This time, we will introduce you to "How to reduce missed hits when playing softball!"

Especially for those who end up hooking the ball and missing the shot!

A must-see!

The key is the "front hand"!

Please be sure to watch until the end!

A Japanese sword can't cut unless it's swung straight.

If you turn your wrist, the tip of the sword will stop.

That's right!

If you turn your wrist, the sword won't cut!

It's important so I said it twice!

The same is true for batting; if you turn your wrist too far, the ball will hook and become a grounder.

In the case of hardball, you may be able to hit the ball this way, but in the case of softball, the ball will often go under the bat and result in a pop fly!

So let's put it straight out like this!

Make sure to keep the back of your hand facing up!

Because the bat enters the ball parallel to its trajectory, hitting power is increased, making it easier to hit even softballs.

Another characteristic of this style of hitting is that the follow-through naturally becomes larger!

This is common among MLB players!

Most MLB players don't think about turning their wrists, which is why they end up hitting the ball like this!

And it will be cut off!

If that doesn't work, try putting the bat on your shoulder!

When not turning your wrist in hardball

Generally speaking, if you don't turn your wrist, the point of impact will move further and further forward.

If you do that, the point where the head will move will be too far forward and you will lose the feeling that the head is moving, so this type of swing is recommended for hardball players who have a certain amount of power!
