This review is from: Hitting Made Easy (Paperback)

Where as other books on hitting are complicated and unecessarily deep, this book simplifies the mechanics of the baseball swing in an easy to read, easy to follow manner. A great buy and an amazing value.

This review is from: Hitting Made Easy (Paperback)

This book really is great. I played little league baseball when I was a child, but unfortunately my Junior High School didn't have a baseball team so I got out of it and by Senior High School the pitches had too much velocity and movement so I couldn't make a team. Recently I've decided to play in an amateur adult league and am trying to get ready so I ordered this book. I still have the fundamentals of my swing (foot positioning, hand positioning, leading foot 'kick', and swing path) which this book covers, but this book also has great tips and drills for hitting inside pitches, outside pitches, and, of course, middle-of-the-plate pitches. It has great physical conditioning tips especially the forearm workout (it sounds easy, but it will 'burn' your arms). It even has mental conditioning tips for concentration. The book is quite short, but is concise and to the point and well worth the $14.00. The best part is that Shawn May (the author) himself will analyze your swing for $25.00 and will even return your video tape if you include a SASE.
