Bat Speed -- Baseball Hitting Forum

Hi,

First of all I would like to say that I just used the Instructo Swing this weekend, or should I say I was forced to use it this week at a college camp. May I say that this might be the worst piece of equipment ever designed to teach a rotational swing. My swing is really starting to look good on video and in the past 2 weekends I am 7-12 with 3 doubles and 8RBI's in a very competitive High School league. After studying rotational swings for the past two years and developing mine, I know for a fact that no rotational swing could fit in there. The first swing I took on it I almost knocked the thing over and cracked my bat. The coach then made me do it until I got it right, "Swinging down" and making me cringe at the thought I was throwing away hours of hard work right there. Then I later when out onto the field for live BP and hit some of the farthest balls at the camp and the coach praised me, yet I was using a rotational swing and not swinging down.... Please Mr. Eric enlighten me as to why this happened

The fact is that you are just using this site as an outlet to promote your garbage piece of hitting equipment because I bet the sales of it are dropping. Jack should delete all of your posts, especially the ones saying that your product will help kids. YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR RUINING MANY KIDS FUTURES BY CREATING A PRODUCT AND FALSELY MARKETING IT, SAYING THAT IT WILL HELP! It angers me that such an individual will stoop so low and advertise on this site just to make more money. I don't care what your background is, all I know is you can't come up with a decent product worth ten cents. Please just don't come back to this website unless you come up with a decent product that promotes proper mechanics.

I'm no joke kid either, I'm being highly recruited by many universities and mostly because I found this site two years ago. If you would like a copy of a scouting report on me, Mr. Laseke, I would be glad to email it to you for "credibility" if you try to defend yourself that way.

Normally I don't get that mad on this board and really enjoy reading it but you just disgust me.
