If you understand the importance of balance and a controlled stride, you'll "get it"!
Build great balance and body control plus see players bring the all-important hips into their swings. If you see them struggle, it is only because they are now learning correctly... The Batters Edge will not allow them to succeed without improving by focusing on their balance... its that simple! (*please read the hint at the end of this page.)
It's not too difficult for any age player and any who may struggle initially, will improve quickly.
Players get the muscle memory from keeping them on the balls of their feet to keeping their heads still! All while making swing-training fun, competitive and productive.
JP's Review
At first glance, I saw a great idea... but one I could make with a cheap piece of wood. After receiving our demonstration unit, I started to understand a bit more of its worth.
The Batters Edge Balance Platform overcomes every objection I had. It is well designed and built well using a strong but light fiberglass base with rubber gripping bottom (it might save scratching a gym or home wood floor as wells as limiting the unit from sliding.)
Batter's Edge Drill
Here's a hint and some strong drills that will help you.
I strongly suggest that you utilize a Building Block Approach to any new drill or instructional training aid.
Here's a great sequence for you in using our Batters Edge Balance Beam:
-
1/2 speed swings without a bat - (these are called Dry Swings).
Execute your complete swing from rest position, then initiate your trigger, then swing though your contact position and on to your follow through.
Freeze at follow-through for 3 seconds which will test your ability to balance.
Repeat until you feel a solid base under you for 3 consecutive swings.
-
3/4 speed swings without a bat - (Dry Swings).
Execute your complete swing from rest position, then initiate your trigger, then swing though your contact position and on to your follow through.
Freeze at follow-through for 3 seconds which will test your ability to balance.
Repeat until you feel a solid base under you for 3 consecutive swings.

Advanced Ideas:
Get creative (but know your players and avoid taking them too far beyond their skill levels).
How about tee drills, 1 hand bat drills, soft toss (use wiffle balls), make up a game whether there's 1,2 or 3 players... just keep it fresh, keep it interesting and keep em having fun while they are learning the tremendous value of a hitters balance!
