BLAME THE BALL

[Teacherman]

On Total Control Balls....FiveFrameNoSwing says....

Have had the opportunity to see many kids hitting with these balls. What they encourage is "pushing" through the ball. What they discourage is a properly release of the barrel through contact.

Yes....pure genius.

THAT BALL is the problem.

Do not use that ball.

Use a different ball....one that you will not push through.

Only a certain ball will lead you to the high level swing. We sell it here.

Sorry....I just have to point out stupidity.

"WOW....I made contact....and the ball is still on my bat. I think I'll push".

LMMFAO at the idiot who never swings a bat and has no students yet acts like he does.

His OWN WORDS prove he is a fraud.

You can tell when one goes into damage control....

A player receives a front tossed ball. They release through contact as normal, but observe that the ball doesn’t go quite so far. The hitter takes note of the result, and not being satisfied, wishes to drive the ball farther. They repeat their normal swing with more energy, but remain dissatisfied with the small improvement. The hitter takes note of the feel of a prolonged contact time … which is distinctively different with TCB balls. As they get to work attempting to drive the TCB ball farther they become semi-frustrated … they are not satisfied with how they are driving the ball … they want to match up, or even exceed, the distance achieved when a coach complimented another teammate that drove/pushed the ball farther …. and so they begin ‘experimenting’ … and it isn’t long before many target their energies towards the new feel of the prolonged contact period. They respond by modifying their swing to extend significantly more energy going through contact … and this action leads to a muscled/pushed action through contact. They send the TCB farther with their modified approach, receive positive feedback from the coach regarding the improved result from their efforts, and feel good about making perceived progress with their newly acquired faulty adjustments.

Just admit you made a mistake.

A hitter who turns the barrel from behind a corner.....will launch in such a fashion that you simply CAN NOT push the barrel.

The above is PROOF POSITIVE that FiveFrameNoSwing has NEVER felt the high level pattern.

And the above analysis is so bad that I question whether he has ever used the balls before.

From my experience with the TCB balls, both the weighted balls and the atomic balls.
All the players who can hit the weighted balls with authority into the outfield, already were known as power hitters and have hit many homeruns in every league they played in, including high school. The can pound the atomic balls too!
Those who cant, were not known to be home run hitters but they improved tremendously with better contact and their ball distance improved exponentially,
