Techniques & Tips...
 Hitting
Grip
The grip on the bat should be
comfortable in the hand, ideally the middle knuckles on each hand
would line up. This helps in executing the proper swing. The grip
should be fairly loose up until you ‘load’ particularly with your
top hand. Don’t choke the bat with such a tight grip that it tenses
up all the muscles in your arms and shoulders.
Load & Stride
Once the pitcher begins his movement
forward with the pitch, the batter should then ‘load’. What this
involves is a slight movement inward and backwards (about 2 inches)
of the batters hands, shoulders, hips and knees. The batter’s weight
shifts from a 50/50 to a 40/60 front to back ratio. During this load
it is important to not move the head and to keep your eyes on the
ball.
