Editorial Reviews

Video Librarian, September-October, 1999

"Featuring professional baseball players Doug O'Neill and Dan Cholowsky, this instructional video guides viewers through the basics of hitting. The players teach fundamentals in a direct, no-nonsense manner, demonstrating everything from the physical components of hitting (proper grip, stance, etc.) to the mental aspects of the game (clear your mind of all outside distractions when at the plate, etc.). This tape should be of outstanding value to young baseball players and should be considered by libraries without similar instruction (such as Professional Sports Training for Kids: Hitting with Ken Griffey, Jr., reviewed in VL-3/91). Four additional titles are also available: Glove Work, Behind The Mask, Grand Theft (on stealing bases) and Equipment Guru. Recomended. Aud: J, H, P. (S. Fisher)"

WebBall, Current Online Review, 2000

"What WebBall likes about this series is the way the message is delivered - one to one, from an experienced pro player (either Doug or Dan) directly to you, the student ballplayer. Each skill is explained and demonstrated, one step at a time. It's not fancy - but it's real and it gets you there! It's easy to see why the series gets good reviews and is outselling competitors nationwide in just its first year of production."

5.0 out of 5 stars John's Best Friend!, March 13, 2000

Anthony F. - See all my reviews

This review is from: Glove Work [VHS] (VHS Tape)

A few weeks ago my son, John, started watching these tapes and now claims that he'll someday break Mark Maguire's record. If he can or not isn't really the point. These tapes seem to provide a tremendous amount of confidence for the younger audience. The teaching style is simple but emphasizes being aggressive and having fun at the same time. Any time a player can accomplish both of these qualities on the diamond he's sure to feel like a winner no matter what league he plays in. Also the equipment tape was a little different than anything I have seen simply because it deals with off the field areas. A brilliant idea! It just goes to show you there's no replacement for pro experience when it comes to baseball. Who else would have thought to include a tape that adresses everything from dealing with bad wheather conditions (vasaline behind the ears, plastic bags over socks, etc.) to cost effective tips for all ages.

Best regards! Anthony
