5.0 out of 5 stars The Advanced Hitter, January 9, 2001
By 
Terry Shaw (Whitesboro, TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Advanced Hitter (Plastic Comb)
I have read the book "The Advanced Hitter" and I feel that the author(s) did a splendid job conveying their ideas in an easy to understand fashion while tackling the not so easy job of explaining how to approach the most difficult feat in all sports, hitting a baseball/softball.

In addition to the detailed description there are pictures depicting the various approaches so the reader can get a clearer understanding of the authors intent.

"The Advanced Hitter" is a book I would recommend to an adult or a child (12 & above) as a book to keep handy while learning the art of hitting.
