This may sound a little crazy but if you try it it you will realize its usefullness.....On EA sports MVP baseball 2004 for playstation 2 , all of the players in the game have the trademark swings of their own professional aliases. If you play a game with the reds and say Ken Griffey Jr. approaches the plate, after one swing you can go to replay mode and view the perfect mechanics of his swing from every angle possible at whatever speed you please (you will notice the THT as well). The same goes with sosa, giambi, babe ruth, lou gehrig........everyone!!!!

Heres the drill......
When in replay mode, grasp the game controller as you would with a bat using the pressure sensitive X button as your speed control (the harder you push down the faster the replay, and vice versa). Stand in front of your television, and swing corresponding to the batter and the view and you will know exactly what i am babbling on about.

I find this very valuable because my swing/stance is almost identical to Griffeys. So anyways for the past few months, i have used this as a type of training for my swing and i have noticed big improvements in my overall swing mechanics and hitting consistancy. also I am a pitcher and the game reveals perfect pitching mechanics as well. (you can use the same drill as i mentioned above, but in the pitching motion)(from all angles!!). I honestly feel that i am a better ballplayer because of this. I can almost guarantee anyone that if they check this out, it can help them with lots of questions and problems they may have in their swing and improve their game. See for yourself!!!
