> Your program has definately caught my attention, and I am most impressed with the way you stress working on pitch locations. I have two questions: 1) In actual game, what would you tell batter as far as anticipating pitch--less than two strikes, no one on base--do you have them look outside half and react in and/or look low and react high? It seems to me, you can only do one but have not tried both so maybe it can be done as they also have to be looking for fastball then react to breaking ball. 2) When working on heavy bag have you tried over/under load? Is there any risk of injury to lead elbow or shoulder with too much bag work. Maybe my son should learn more to relax at contact but he still tries to drive through the bag which becomes problematic for several reasons. Also, does the bat speed radar work when using a heavy bag?

The reason for all this training is to understand what type of hitter you are, your strengths and weaknesses,what pitches you can handle and your ability to adjust,some may handle out and in while some may handle only out or in,you may think about inner half up and down but you need to find out what you can handle and learn how the adjustments are made and build them into your muscle memory.
I have done and trained many kids with over/under load training on the bag,the wrist however is the only area I have heard the kids complain about sore after training sessions .I got a batspeed radar one time but had trouble getting it to work consistently for me could have just been operator error.
I will try to get to the mental game next which may be beneficial in some way it all just takes awhile to put together and sit down and type,if anyone would like to call me for specifics Jack has my # and your welcome to give me a call
