  • Training device and pivotal swing method for improving accuracy of hitting a ball with a bat
    Patent number: 9067112
    Abstract: A training method for measuring detrimental movements to more accurately deliver a bat to a ball, including positioning a stiff and straight leading or front leg at the start of and during the process until after contact with the ball, pointing and planting the leading or front foot at least partially in the direction from which the ball is traveling, positioning the hands and the bat such that the distal end of the bat is below the shoulders and the bat is held substantially parallel to the ground at the start of the process, delivering the bat directly forward in the same plane as the ball is traveling, and utilizing pivoting of the torso and hips about an axis to deliver the bat to a ball with little or no forward or lateral movement of the body.

  • METHOD FOR PIVOTALLY SWINGING AND HITTING AN OBJECT
    Publication number: 20120270687
    Abstract: A process for more accurately delivering a hitting device to a ball, including positioning a stiff and straight leading or front leg at the start of and during the process (with no step forward of the front foot or leg) until after contact with the ball, pointing and planting the leading or front foot at least partially in the direction from which the ball is traveling, positioning the hands and the hitting device such that the distal end of the hitting device is below the shoulders and the hitting device is held substantially parallel to the ground at the start of the process, delivering the hitting device directly forward in the same plane as the ball is traveling, and utilizing pivoting of the torso and hips about an axis to deliver the hitting device to a ball with little or no forward or lateral movement of the body.

  • Ball hitting swing method
    Publication number: 20070293356
    Abstract: A process for more accurately delivering a hitting device to a ball, including the steps of: positioning straightly the leading or front leg at the start of and during the process until after contact with the ball, pointing and planting the leading or front foot at least partially in the direction from which the ball is traveling, positioning the hands and the hitting device such that the distal end of the hitting device is below the shoulders and the hitting device is held substantially parallel to the ground at the start of the process, delivering the hitting device in the same plane as the ball is traveling, and utilizing rotation of the trunk and hips about an axis to delivering the hitting device to a ball with little or no forward or lateral movement of the body.
