Wow! Alabama Softball's audrey vandagriff with a walk-off bomb in extras! Perfect hand path to hit a ball deep in the zone, while also allowing for being a little early (quiet hands through contact). Unorthodox style, but spot on technique where it matters!

As my daughter calls it, “The Sophia Nugent HR Dab” Sophia Nugent which I do like😎! An absolute perfect example of PERFECTION when it comes to being ON PLANE with your spine during the swing. Definitely #uncleTed approved🤘.

Here, Stanford Softball 's Sydney Boulaphinh (one of my favorite all-time students😇) is showing off 3 adjustments she made in the last month. Striding slightly closed, not over-rotating and keeping lead arm up post-contact. She now has 6 HR's in only 36 Abs this season🧐#freshmanstud

Sooo many hours I spent imitating these two players while playing wiffle ball and strikeout with my buddies! Here, Barry L Bonds & Jose Canseco are matching up pretty well🧐 FWIW, I'm not afraid to say Jose Canseco was my favorite player...dropping💣swiping bags & driving lambos!

VOLUME⬆️Came across these swings of Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani. Both pull side HR's with very different rhythms and lower body action. Be sure to listen👍#differentstrokesfordifferentfolks


Really great barrel control (HR) by Alabama Softball Marlie Giles on a down and in pitch. This move is crucial for softball players due to the heavier ball and light bat. I love drilling this move with SB players in addition to building grip and forearm strength💪

How to hit 29 hrs and hit over .450? Virginia Tech Softball Cori McMillan shows you how. Start early AND slow, stay behind the ball when you land and stay on plane thru impact. Notice how you don’t see her bat the frame before and frames after contact? That’s pretty pretty good!!
