4.0 out of 5 stars from theory to practice, January 3, 2001
By 
"vonettam" (Seattle, Wa Usa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Charley Lau - The Art of Hitting .300 [VHS] (VHS Tape)
As a 14-15 year old senior league baseball coach I have found Mr. Lau's techniques for hitting extremely useful. What was most helpful from the video was Lau's focus on a good weight shift, which makes it possible for a lightweight hitter to make strong contact with the ball. I found his talk about lead arm extension useful as well--not only does it allow for a complete follow-through, but stresses the importance of keeping your head "down on the ball". I would recommend this video to anyone interested in improving their swing through the use of sound mechanics.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best basic fundamental hitting video ever!, October 1, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Charley Lau - The Art of Hitting .300 [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Charlie Lau was a student of the best hitters in the history of baseball, thus is it any mystery that this video would be the "best" about the "best" from a professional hitting instructor. Charlie Lau breaks hitting into easy to understand components, then assembles these components into a successful hitting system. Follow the method and be successful. Many of today's baseball stars are using this system very successfully. - Reviewed by a coach having extreme success teaching hitting!

2.0 out of 5 stars Poor production quality, May 13, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Charley Lau - The Art of Hitting .300 [VHS] (VHS Tape)
The first impression one gets when viewing this video is the poor audio and video quality. Was this video filmed by my 8 year old son on the family camcorder?

The second impression is that Charley Lau is not really a 'people' person. His on camera presence is one of arogance and distain for the high school kids he is demonstrating to. He also continually 'name' drops baseball stars who have no real presence in the video.

Note: that all demonstartions are done from the left side of the plate. This may be not be a negative issue, but it should be something to be aware of before purchasing the video.
