With the LDPT attached the ball will launch up or to the open side.To launch the ball up the middle he will have to correct the swing path to obtain the desired trajectory. The path is long: The hitter drops (loses the barrel) early and either drag the bat across the plate or swings up through the ball. Two common swing flaws: The barrel is IN and OUT of the zone in which the hitter works across his body and across the plate.With the LDPT attached the hitter will see the ball launch to the pull side.To launch the ball up the middle he will have to correct the swing path to obtain the desired trajectory. Continued use of this product will TRAIN muscles to repeat the proper FEEL of keeping the barrel in the zone. Players will instantly FEEL proper swing mechanics and SEE where the ball is going. Eliminates “Casting” and trains hitters to stay inside the ball. Teaches feel of proper swing path through visual feedback. Sometimes just checking for launch angle and self correcting to get there can work but sometimes a mix from rudimentary traditional cues and result feedback isn't enough and you actually need to teach some movements.A patented Baseball/ Softball Swing Training aid. There was a pretty heated argument about this on Twitter (I think between baseball rebellion and driveline) but I think there is a place for both. I think bat path and launch angle is helpful but you can take the self correction thing too far. The Line Drive Pro forces the hitter to swing through the zone properly to launch the. Result is often a swing that works only very far out front because you first extend the knob down and then pull up. The lightweight plastic cup easily attaches to any bat in seconds. Now Many just focus on bat path and launch angle without worrying on how to get there. The first generation of the Internet analysis community thought a lot about body positions, tilt, connection, turn the barrel. I think that is a problem with some of the new coaches. It's a spoonful of sugar, not the whole jar.I think this problem often occurs when coaches want to teach upward bat path but still teach the old school extend the knob kind of swing. They are taught the upswing and the hands inside swing and they end up with some weird, contrived deal. One of the things though, I've seen with hands inside the ball drills or devices, like that ball on a stick thing, is that kids get awful pushy. Being "short" killed several stones with one bird: a) if you got a crappy swing then short means less crappy b) pitching is tough to see and hit 3) solid is hard and/or far.

I always interpreted "short" as being a hands inside the ball swing. Yeager has said the swing is a "throw" TW said a "push" but these days there is less of "throw the barrel" or "throw the hands"- even to the point where these are thought to be "wrong". I think the idea was to promote aggressiveness and "looseness". Just take a bunch of old bats out in the outfield and fling them.

I disagreed because it seemed that it couldn't be practiced enough times to alter muscle memory.īut I think this device could provide a practical way of getting a lot of reps at being "long-thru"-by flinging a tennis back up the center of the field instead of flinging a bat.That bat flinging was a drill a really good coach told me to do. There was a thread here a while back which suggested that one way to cure "short-thru" was to have batters swing and release the bat after it passes through the contact zone, with the goal being that the bat would be flung back toward the L-screen.

In other words, batters who are short-to and short-thru the ball, instead of short-to and long-thru. I think this device might help batters who cut their swing off.
