Hi,
> I said get the bat down.I think you only study swings that are shown hitting the ball in the air.Are you trying to tell me that all line drives are underneath the ball ?How about low liners,are they also underneath the ball?I don't just teach one type of hitter.I see you are consumed with getting the ball in the air.I also feel that you could communicate in a better tone.I would just say we don't agree on certain axioms here.I don't think all hitters are the same.I didn't say that all big leauge hitters don't get under the ball at times .I am saying not all try to get under the ball.Maybe that's cause for the amount of strike outs.I wouldn't take all hitters and say work on getting underneath the ball as a intention.I will say 2out of the four frames with griffey would have passed through the guide path of the ultimate batting tee.I won't try to force my reality on you i'm sure you would disagree anyways.Why beat a dead horse?Do you like the short stroke device?I like to hear what you have to say but i wish you didn't invaladate people so much.I wonder how i hit 506 in college.Did you play college ball?What is your playing background?I think THE ULTIMATE BATTING TEE IS helping a lot of players and have plenty of positive feed back..Check out the new angle adjustment and give me some feedback.

For all your success playing you have no clue how to teach a swing. Have you looked at the hitters from the pitchers view yet? What does the barrel being below the ball have to do with "getting the ball in the air"? You simply don't understand the swing plane. It is diagonal not horizontal. And, for that reason, no mlb players swing will fit through your contraption. And, there is a huge difference between getting under the ball, as if to lift the ball into the air, and getting the barrel below the ball, as if to hit a line drive by swinging in the proper swing plane.

My barrel gets under the ball when I hit a hard ground ball. A line drive. A fly ball. In other words, always. At least, that is the goal.

Until you figure that out, please stop deceiving your customers.
