𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞!

First time I hit with teacherman1986 was during March of this year in AZ 

After we hit a couple times over 10 or so days, my mechanics looked way better, my swing felt quicker  and I was driving the ball in the air more often. 

Transparently I did struggle to hit live pitching at first. As with any swing adjustment, HLP related or not, it’s not easy to go from taking millions of reps one way, then changing it and expecting immediate results. 

The rear legged concept was new for me and I was getting stuck on my back leg… I saw another hitting coach that mentioned staying rear legged, but on the inside half of my back foot to keep some momentum back toward the pitcher. And that worked really well. 

Eventually I over did that too and started gaining too much ground and crashing forward. 

Being rear legged isn’t about being able to hold a single leg position for 10-15 seconds at a time and then swing. (Stuck, pulling off)

You also can’t leg kick and crash. (Too much head movement, jumping at the ball)

Controlling the back leg with a combination of some balance and some forward move is where it’s at. 

Better decision making. Better timing.
