| , Sept. 19, 2016 bogie | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Slide Tube Drills provide Real Swing Refinement and pregame practice Swing Makeover 45 This is almost like a mini lesson, all presented by Bret and the slide tube...Overlays of hitters give reinforcement. Also the evil bp ball on the slide tube gives real feel ball hitting...with the guide rope providing the correct bat path within the oversnap. You can make easily, or purchase off our website. Great way to practice before a game, but overall the concepts of hitting are easily understood. A visit from the "Worlds Most Powerful Hitter". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktK03hDj7hU |

| , Aug. 19, 2016 bogie | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Shoulder Torque and 3 Critical Steps of the Bathead Snap. Swing Makeover #44 Seldom discussed, shoulder torque can be a focus that can help hitters enhance the rotation and body angle. Those who lunge, have injury or back and joint problems, may find the hips maxed out and especially can benefit from the improved body angle and rotational speed. Also we discuss the 3 critical steps needed for a good bat head snap. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqzRKzx9Y7M |

| , Aug. 7, 2016 bogie | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Swing Makeover #42...The Power Lag, sets up an Explosive Bathead Snap. edit fixed...ha ive considered it! One of our most important technical episodes. If we get our hands back and focus on using the hip and shoulder rotation to stab and drive the hands and knob at an up angle and to the inside, we will develop a powerful lag, which in turn will set the angle and motion needed to achieve an almost automatic snap. Holding the arms back and the lag just for that last split second, sets up that last split second more of rotation, before the explosive extension of the arms, torque of the wrists that will snap the bat head into the ball. The Slide Tube is shown in detail, and how such a simple piece of equipment can help develop such a complex swing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzkElVD6LAY |

| , Aug. 3, 2016 bogie | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: who won at the ISA WORLDS in Columbus Columbus was great that at 60plus we had 3 nice major teams to play, then 2 games in major plus. Wish we had more teams in Lansing...competition would be of great benefit, but not many teams for the long travel. |
| , Aug. 2, 2016 bogie | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: who won at the ISA WORLDS in Columbus 60plus Kinnco played great and destroyed our Pope team. Myself and half the team hit poorly, due in part to Face's tough pitching. They will be another strong 60plus team in vegas. Great fields and well run tourney. Congrats. |
| , July 23, 2016 bogie | Topic: Bats Discussion: How Many Knob Cuffs?? We had a swing makeover show on it last year, and on a thread here, someone on SSUSA came on as I recall and said it was legal for SSUSA. I have used 2, one of each hand, the past 5 years in SSUSA regionals and worlds as well as local ASA play, and never had it questioned by an ump. |
| , July 13, 2016 bogie | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Larry Carter Signature Senior Bat Review and Interview DeMarini has come out with an excellent midload senior bat that has top end peformance and so far has very good durability. Its namesake is Larry Carter...and this also contains a short interview and swings from the great Larry Carter. Its the best DeMarini bat to come out in my opinion, in the last few years for most rec guys who don't want an overwhelming endload. Alot of great senior bats out there, and this one is one of the best. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Okmxmre5mRA |

| , April 27, 2016 bogie | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Re-Learning Hip Rotation, Cures Early Season Slump. Swing Makeover #39 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_hhWczk_g0 Many athletes need to put most of the mental focus on hip rotation, in order to get the hips to lead the swing. This creates good tempo, timing, body angle, weight transfer and finally explosion. Hip rotation is explained with a few simple drills to physically learn to let the hips lead the swing. www.sportstechnique.com Softball Hitting Swing Makeover #39 |
| , March 31, 2016 bogie | Topic: Bats Discussion: Video on the 2015 Senior Demarini One El Lefty, yeah, while most advanced players start where they want, they always end up with hands pulled back as the front foot hits. For many, to start with hands back helps simplify this. Im trying to come back from major back surgery and it is helping me get hands back more..it was a struggle trying to be consistent when I couldnt rotate well but now taking time to relearn how to use hips, its a slow process..I tip my hat to those with joint replacements or permanent injuries who learn to adjust so well. |

| , March 23, 2016 bogie | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: POWER HITTERS Many great power hitters like Bruce,Steve,Crusher.. constantly work on their game and improve as they age, which is amazing. The best part is with the internet, you have so much free information, you don't have to pay anything to improve. Most athletes video their swings and compare it to great swings and by working with teammates and sifting thru internet info...improve power immensely and some don't even start until after retirement. Aside from technique, Strength retention thru training and nutrition is a trend that has really improved power in seniors along with a selection of bats that tailor all hitters desires. The camps I've attended seem to have a motivated group and very good success for the minority that attend those. |
