NLS Bat Speed
Hitting Clinics and Lessons
How much bat speed do you generate? Do you understand the
correlation between quick hands through the zone and perfect timing
of the swing as it relates to how hard you hit the ball? These
clinics and lesson packages will provide the answers and work to
increase your bat speed an average of 5 MPH.
SIMPLY PUT, IMPROVE
YOUR BAT SPEED & YOU
WILL HIT THE BALL HARDER AND FARTHER!
NLS BAT
SPEED HITTING CLINICS
This is not a hitting clinic in the traditional sense. We will be
focusing on bat speed and power through the use of specially weighted
bats (the LOG) and weighted balls, special drills to allow a player
to DRIVE the ball with authority. This clinic works
to increase your bat speed an average of 5 MPH. Come prepared to
work hard and leave exhausted!
