Comments:  
The finest hitting book written for the parent or coach looking to give their
player a head start in learning the fundamentals of hitting.  Excellent use of photos and
illustrations in identifying the most common incorrect techniques seen in young players.  It
provides a step-by-step analysis of proper hitting mechanics useful for both experienced and
inexperienced coaches.  Also includes three simple hitting drills and a troubleshooting chart
useful in helping the reader identify the specific flaws in a swing.  

Highlights:  Book explores and explains in detail ten hitting myths which are the most
frequently stated but incorrect instruction given by parents and coaches.

Comments:  
Provides rudimentary information on improving the skills of young baseball
players with drills and techniques to fine-tune the proper mechanics of hitting and fielding.  
The instruction is easy to understand and will help in the development of basic fundamentals.
This four DVD set is not the best resource on the market and its price of $39.99 exceeds its
value to the customer.


Highlights:  Resource does stress the fun and importance of good sportsmanship in youth
baseball.

Comments:  
The BattingTips.com coaching staff stresses the importance of tee and
soft-toss practice and this product is an excellent tool to use.  Like most JUGS products, it is
durable and highly resistant to rain and other pool weather conditions.  It can be used
indoors (garage or basement) or outdoors at practice.  Suitable for all players from tee ball
to college.


Highlights:  A integral tool in the development and reinforcement of hitting mechanics
through tee and soft-toss drills.
