Legendary high school baseball coach Mike Woods provides the tools you need to make the most of every at bat. This DVD features a treasure-trove of insight, instruction and drills proven to develop high-impact swings - and put runs on the board.

Using specific dry-swing drills that deliver valuable "data" on mechanics, highly refined tee drills that train the entire body (including the eye), and soft-toss drills that put everything together, Coach Woods delivers a proven program your hitters can execute every day - one that will generate measurable improvement with minimal wear and tear on the players (and the coach!). Each segment trains the four attributes of a great swing: balance, sequence, inside path, and finish. Your players will learn to increase bat speed, stay vertically stacked, keep inside the ball, and generate maximum drive.

Also included in this DVD are specific drills to solve common hitting problems. And, recognizing that not all problems are "mechanical," Coach Woods provides insights into planning at-bats: defining objectives (getting on, moving runners, scoring runners), recognizing a pitcher's tendencies, and improving performance with two strikes.
