Along with strengthening your body through weights and stretching,you can make some different weighted bats,!st hit the bag 15 times with normal bag then a heavier bat say 4 oz. more 15 times then 4 oz heavier15 times then work backwards till you get 4-8 oz. less.Take 159 swings a day ,you will create strength and speed.think strong with heavy bats and quick with lighter bats,but always work on perfect fluid swing.
