Hello,
> > > This may not be the right place to ask but my son is in his last year of T-ball and he is a very good player. The only problem is that he does not have a lot of power in his bat. Can anyone give me some tips for improving his power? He has good form but I cant seem to make that increase his power. He really wants to hit better so I thought I would look around for some instruction.

Educate yourelf (which you are doing) and your son will have the best possible teacher, one who cares. I'm not a big fan of T-work...the video will help explain why. Good luck you're on the right track my friend.

I don't disagree with soft toss but careful that he strides to center and doesn't start timing your toss and start stepping into and through the contact point with forward motion. Work on quick hips, not quick hands. Keep those hands back and last to the ball
