Hitting Philosophy

Understanding different philosophies of hitting is essential.  At Boom, we naturally see what the athlete does; then, we build from there.  We always do our best at trying to maximize contact and power.  Before we get into the debate over the different philosophies, we make sure that young hitters master the things that get overlooked so often: stance, grip, balance, posture, rhythm, weight transfer, and personal style.  Then we can talk about mechanics, hand path, etc.  Mechanics are only part of what makes a hitter excellent or great.  Plate discipline and the mental approach separate the good from the great.
