Hitting Development
Tools and lessons to improve your swing:
- Blast Motion sensor — clips to your bat and tracks your swing (bat speed, attack angle, time to contact). We're partnering with Blast so your data comes straight to us.
- Train with Rob Crews Online — one-on-one online lessons. Rob reviews your swing and gives you drills to do at home.
- Train with Rob Crews in NJ or NY — in-person lessons.
More bat speed = more exit velo — a number college coaches recruit on. Train at home with the Swing Dynamics bats. The set comes with programs to follow.
Recommended use: 5 days a week at home.
Pitching — Club K & PitchLogic
Optional tools for pitchers to keep developing at home:
- High Level Pitching Speed Program — builds pitching speed.
- Club K weighted ball set — speed program to build velocity.
- PitchLogic ball — smart ball that tracks movement, spin, velocity, and release so you can train solo.
Throw as hard as you can (excluding warm-up). Do not be concerned with accuracy. 3 days per week (Day 1, Day 2, Day 3).
