1. What is a palm up?

"Palm up" is an important technique for improving hitting power. This technique allows you to improve your hitting rate and increase the distance of the ball by turning the palm of your back hand up when you swing the bat.

Giants player Sho Nakata also practices this!

2. Benefits of Palm Up

This makes it easier for the bat to follow the line of the ball.

By mastering the palm up technique, it will be easier to get the bat's trajectory in line with the ball.

Your hit rate will increase if the bat's trajectory is in line with the ball.

The palm-up technique is especially effective for batters who tend to hook the ball, so be sure to remember it.

3. How to practice palm-ups

① Stand at the top position

First, start the swing from the top position. By starting with the swing fixed at the top position, you can experience it more clearly.

②Put the bat close to your face

Swing the bat as close to your face as possible. Try imagining the bat coming from between your face and shoulder, as this will make it easier to swing.

3) Swing with your palm facing up

As you swing the club close to your face, keep your palms facing up as you lift it up.

When you are ready to go, if the mark on the bat facing you takes the shape shown in the image and points towards the sky, it is proof that your palm-up is successful.

④ Make sure the grip is on top of your arm

Finally, make sure the grip is above your arm after the swing.

Be careful not to push your back when following through.

That's all for how to put it into practice. If you're interested, try it out by actually swinging the club or hitting off a tee!

4. Palm-up precautions

When doing palm ups, it's important to avoid making a stiff swing.

When doing palm up, you may be too conscious of keeping your palms facing up, which can result in a stiff swing.

Therefore, it is important to stay relaxed while doing palm ups.

5. The benefits of palm-ups

Mastering the palm up technique can help you overcome the tendency to hook the ball. The palm up technique allows hitters to make a more effective inside-out swing without hooking the ball.

This is an extremely effective technique that will allow you to maximize your striking power, so be sure to master it now.

summary

Palm up is an important technique for improving striking power.

By mastering this technique, a batter can maximize his hitting power.

Mastering the palm up is an important step in improving your hitting power, so it's a technique that any player who wants to continue playing baseball at a higher level should definitely remember!
