The man who grasps principles can successfully select his own methodsFIVE Hard-Core "Science" Tricks That WILL Add 60-Feet To Your Drives In Less Than 60-Days..."As to the methods there may be a million and then some, but principles are few. The man who grasps principles can successfully select his own methods. The man who tries methods, ignoring principles, is sure to have trouble." There was a Greek man in the sixth century B.C. who became a legendary six-time gold medal Olympian wrestler. His name was Milo, and was well known for his fantastic feats of strength. He lived in Croton, a city in southern Italy.
However, Milo wasn't born a six-time Olympian... He knew from a young age that he wanted to be a world champion wrestler, but in order to get there he'd have to get bigger and stronger than any opponent he'd ever have to face. Every morning Milo would borrow his neighbor's young male calf, put him on his back, and carry him to town and back while he fetched milk for his family. Every morning of every day Milo did this. As the calf ate and grew bigger, so did Milo. You see, as the calf's weight steadily increased, it put a slow and steady weight bearing burden on Milo's body. After some time the calf grew into an adolescent bull and weighed over a thousand pounds! Just think how much stronger Milo got =-0 Over time, the small progressive changes in the bull's weight didn't seem like much to Milo. He was benefiting from a little known scientific rule known as Specificity, or better known as the SAID Principal. The SAID Principal stands for Specific Adaptations to Imposed Demands. As Dr. W. Eric Cobb, the founder of Z-Health Performance simply puts it, "The body ALWAYS improves at EXACTLY what we practice." It was my discovery and understanding of SAID, and other important human movement PRINCIPALS that opened my eyes to seeing hitters in ALL NEW vibrant colors, and training them accordingly. Dear Reader,
I played four years of division one baseball at Fresno State from 2000-2003. The stats I accumulated over four years were subpar: .250 AVG, 9 homers, and 40 RBI's...not exactly professional caliber. I tell my students that I hit Down & Through before I knew The Truth, and that those old rickety mechanics were my limiting ceiling through college. I'm currently a member of the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA), International Youth & Conditioning Association (IYCA), am partnered with the Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA), and founder of the Hitting Performance Lab. I've spent almost ten years in the corrective fitness field, and have certifications from the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM), Youth Fitness Specialist (YFS), Corrective Exercise Specialist (CES), Functional Muscle Screen (FMS), and am certified to teach Vinyasa style Yoga. I also read - A LOT - about experts in the field of human bio-mechanics...it's a passionate curiosity I have...but my wife refers to it as a curse. To be an effective coach or instructor, you have to be willing to swallow your pride in the learning process. I had to swallow mine - many times - after coming to the realization that teaching old-and-tired Down & Through mechanics wasn't practical because they were the same old rickety movements that contributed to my subpar college career.
The problem is some coaches gloat that they have 30+ years of coaching experience, but what they really have is one year of coaching experience over thirty years. They teach the same flimsy knowledge - not backed by science - that's been passed down through the generations. Before I get into telling you about the FIVE Hard-Core Science Tricks That WILL Add Sixty-Feet To Your Drives, I want to expand on the quote I opened up this letter with from Ralph Waldo Emerson... "The man who tries methods, ignoring principles, is sure to have trouble."This is like trying to play Monopoly without knowing the rules, and this my friend is what 99.9% of so-called experts are doing...they're just guessing. They have this drill and that drill with no proven scientific knowledge of the true PRINCIPALS to explosive rotational power. There are human movement laws EVERY athlete must abide by for fiction-free explosive power. Principals are few, and methods are many.
Conventional baseball or softball wisdom isn't backed by proven scienceHave you heard some of these old common hitting phrases...?
Has anyone ever stopped to look outside of baseball and softball circles to see how other explosive rotational athletes are moving? Does anyone really dig into primal movement patterns to reveal truths about human locomotion? A few are close, but are still playing Monopoly without knowing the rules...
High level players and coaches can't internalize what they've externalized
The truth is high level players and coaches "can't teach" what they "can do". Think about your best teachers... Stephen Hawking, a world leader on black holes, has never been to outer space...Bill Belichick never played in the NFL...Idan Ravin works with Chris Paul, Lebron James, and Carmelo Anthony on basketball skill training, and he's never even played COLLEGE ball...Rudy Jaramillo, one of the top hitting coaches in the Bigs ever - has no MLB playing experience...Dave Duncan, widely considered one of the best pitching coaches ever - was a catcher. Piggy-backing on this idea... Expert Knowledge Shared isn't Comprehensible to LearnersBy "learners" I mean the end user...the player, the coach, and/or the parent.
There's a major distance between what experts say and what the young hitter understands. This leaves a heavy burden on the parent, coach, or instructor to translate the white noise. People often ask what makes The Truth About Explosive Rotational Power course different, and I answer with the three points we just discussed:
Two more thoughts before we dive into the FIVE Hard-Core Science Tricks That WILL Add SIXTY-Feet To Your Drives... Want become the Top 5% in 6-12 months...Here's what we're going to talk about:
What You Study is More Important than How You Study
The point is, it doesn't matter if you're big or small. The only prerequisite to following human movement PRINCIPALS is being, well, human.
What do all these small-boppers have in common? Study the Highest Frequency Materials (PRINCIPALS) that transfer to any Explosive Rotational Athlete
The test is to see if these PRINCIPALS frequently show up in other explosive rotational athletes, such as: Olympic Shot Putters, Javelin, Hammer, and Discus Throwers...Golfers and Lacrosse players...Gymnasts and Trapeze Artists...Sure, each explosive rotational movement "gets it done" a little differently, but one thing's for sure, these athletes are ALL adhering to the same human movement laws that Milo from Croton did to become a six-time world wrestling champion. Effectiveness is Doing the Right Things & Efficiency is Doing "Those Things" RightInstead of solely looking baseball and softball, we need to force ourselves outside the sport, study how other coaching PRINCIPALS are being taught effectively, and find the common ground. My goal in The Truth About Explosive Rotational Power is to make coaching the PRINCIPALS to a friction-free swing sticky to the end user. Remember, in this section we studied:
Now to analyze the FIVE Hard-Core "Science" Tricks That Will Add SIXTY-Feet To Your Drives In Less Than 60-Days... But before we get our hands dirty, I wanted to share with you... A "Brand New" Breakthrough for HittersThere are THREE ways to analyze hitters:
Describing what we "think" we see a hitter doingThis is where the majority of coaches sit, and is the path of least resistance. These coaches one-hundred percent trust their eyes. For some reason video analysis may be too complicated for them or they just don't know what to look for and troubleshoot on film. Typically you find the Down & Through philosophers here. I know because I was one of them! Describing what we "actually" see on video analysisVideo recorders got smaller and more affordable. And motion analysis software got cheaper and easier to use. Studying slow motion video analysis has become the "cutting edge" approach of today. This is where the rotational and linear debate started because people could spend up-teen hours-a-day doting over MLB swings on video. However, here's where what lies UNSEEN may be more important... Using human movement PRINCIPALS based on proven science
This revolutionary approach is a "brand-new" breakthrough for hitters, and is where hitting analysis is moving. Understanding how the human body truly moves through space is the way to go. As R.W. Emerson said, "The man who grasps principles can successfully select his own methods." There are forces acting inside and outside the body that are more important to developing a friction-free swing. We have to understand the PRINCIPALS (rules) first, before the methods (drills) become clear. Remember, we talked about THREE ways to analyze hitters:
Now, let's dig into FIVE Hard-Core "Science" Tricks That Will Add SIXTY-Feet To Your Drives In Less Than 60-Days... FIVE Hard-Core "Science" Tips That Will Add 60-Feet To Your Drives In Less Than 60-DaysWe'll be discussing:
Hard-Core Science Trick #1: Conservation of Linear MomentumA PBS.org article compares the Conservation of Linear Momentum (CLM) to Platform Circus Trapeze Artists. In the article it states:
She's getting help from:
You see, ALL THREE are sharing in the same linear momentum. And once the Trapeze Artist jumps, she takes some of the total momentum before the jump with her. She also adds momentum to herself by jumping. And as she jumps she pushes the platform away from her, which increases the platform's momentum in the opposite direction...the sum of which equals the total linear momentum before the jump. Now what does this mean, and how does this apply to hitting? You see, an object's linear momentum is its mass times its velocity. The Conservation of Linear Momentum is a clever trick MLB small-boppers use to achieve a friction-free swing. In other words, these hitters feel lighter when swinging a bat, and look like a projectile missile rather than a bump on a log. Consider the Un-Weighting Principal... Pick up a twenty-five pound dumbbell, stand tall, and with a straight arm raise the dumbbell out in front of you. Note what muscles you feel working. Now, with the dumbbell hanging straight down to your side, take a big step forward with the opposite leg you're holding the dumbbell in, and when your stepping heel hits the ground, swing the dumbbell up to shoulder height.
You'll learn how to do this STEP-BY-STEP in The Truth About Explosive Rotational Power Course.
Now for PART TWO to conserving momentum... Hard-Core Science Trick #2: Conservation of Angular MomentumAnother PBS.org article compares the Conservation of Angular Momentum (CAM) to Circus Trapeze Artists. In the article it says:
For example, as the spinning ice skater pulls her arms in, the distance from her center mass gets smaller, and in order for the angular momentum to get conserved, her velocity has to increase.
When she wants to slow her spin down, she extends her arms and legs. Doing this increases the size of her moving mass, and decreases her angular velocity. Angular - or rotational - velocity is how fast the person is spinning, and inertia is like mass, except that it also takes into account the mass's distance from the center of rotation. What does this mean, and how does it apply to hitting? Linear momentum (Science Trick #1) will get transferred into angular momentum. This is a vital PRINCIPAL to a friction-free swing. Without it, body mass feels heavier to move. With it, the hitter will feel lighter going into the Final Turn. BEFORE (left) & AFTER (right) Linear + Angular Momentum Case Study: Here are explosive rotational athletes who conserve and transfer Linear and Angular Momentums:
And yes, I'll walk you through how to conserve Angular Momentum in The Truth About Explosive Rotational Power Course.
Hard-Core Science Trick #3: Spine Engine Theory Part 1Rotational this, and linear that. The problem is people are putting the focus in the WRONG place. The methods rather than the PRINCIPALS.

...I'm Joey Myers.
In other words, bringing her arms and legs in decreases the size of her moving mass, and increases her angular velocity.
What people don't realize is, there's human machinery hidden deep within the body that is quietly driving the small-boppers' fiction-free swing.| "Motion analysis of the spine demonstrated normal spinal movement, save for an enhanced axial rotation, due to the desire to maintain a near-normal horizontal velocity (translation: forward movement). The gait is so perfect that, by hiding the bottom of his pelvis from view, it is not possible to guess this man has no legs." |
You see, the body's locomotion depends primarily on the spine. Dr. Gracovetsky says there are three spinal movements:
- Extension (or Lordosis)/Flexion - think of the first as standing up tall, and the second like doing a crunch.
- Side Bending - this would be standing tall, then bending sideways at the waist. And,
- Axial Rotation - twisting movement.
Dr. Gracovetsky says that if two of the above are present, then most always the third is the end result.
As a hitter, we need number three last, so that means we have to incorporate numbers one and two before that. The spine is the driver of ALL possible human movements.
Check out the 2013 AL and NL MVP's...

How Big-Bopper Miguel Cabrera use his Spine Engine |

See how eerily similar they move with differing body types? |
|
| "Hi Joey. Just an update: Zach went 2 for 5 today w/an ribi. Only k'd once. Hits were a solid one between the 2nd/1st basemen and a gapper line drive into RF/CF. One of his outs was a liner @the CF'r. Your philosophy took hold today. Thanks & see you in a couple weeks!" - Steve May, Fresno, CA, text message from one of my local lessons |
Next, we're going to discuss how important it is to keep the spine's integrity, or neutral position. If we don't keep its proper positioning, then the spine can have the major potential to decrease a hitter's force production...
Hard-Core Science Trick #4: Spine Engine Theory Part 2
ALL small-boppers - with high OPS - use their spine in a way that truly achieves friction-free hitting. Even if we sequence spine movement properly, we still could be bleeding a tremendous amount of force at impact (See following Andrew McCutchen video).
As Physical Therapist and world renowned author of MobilityWod.com Dr. Kelly Starrett says,
| "The spine has major potential to decrease your force production." |
He calls this "losing spinal integrity." This can be easily demonstrated by Dr. Kelly Starrett and the Spinal Integrity Test ...
In case you missed it in the video, Dr. Kelly Starrett said:
"Hinging at one of the segments [vertebraes in the neck]...when we put a hinge across the central nervous system, the body recognizes that as a primary insult, or threat to the body, because you're basically guillotining or kinking the nervous system. You've kinked 'the tube', so it [force production] just drops off." |
I'm working with a few of my High School students to correct this very thing...
Figure 6: See how Gabe's tucking his chin to his chest? |
And, spinal integrity isn't just for younger hitters, 2013 NL MVP Andrew McCutchen is ACTUALLY LOSING force production with his swing this past year (scary to think with the numbers he put up).
You'll see Cutch's head 'nod' forward at impact...
An example of a non-baseball athlete, look how the fastest sprinter in the world, Usain Bolt, keeps his spinal integrity by using his eyes to look ahead instead of picking up his head, like most slower athletes may do...
The last Science Trick we'll be talking about today offers up an explanation as to why most coaches and online gurus are DEAD WRONG when it comes to properly loading the body like a spring...
Hard-Core Science Trick #5: Tensegrity
When you ask 99.99% of coaches what the load looks like in a high level swing, most likely you'll get these TWO answers:
- Push the hands back towards the catcher (they might call this separation),
- Turn the pelvis inward towards the catcher (as if power is located in the pelvis), and
On "pushing the hands back"...
This doesn't make fiction-free sense because it causes the front arm to get long which goes against Hard-Core Science Trick #2: The Conservation of Angular Momentum. To turn faster we have to bring our limbs closer to our body's center mass.
About "turning the pelvis inward"...
The body is loaded with opposing tension and compression forces. These "springy forces" are internal, and NOT a segmenting of the body - via the pelvis or hips.
According to Dr. Erik Dalton in his collaborative book Dynamic Body,
| "Modern Science reveals the brain does not recognize individual muscle activities due to lack of practical purpose." In motor learning of an athletic skill, such as a swing, the muscles develop a pattern after repeated physical motion. This pattern becomes ingrained in the brain so that, at any given time, the motion and mechanics of the swing can be recalled with success." |
Let's address "loading up on the back leg, then shifting our weight"...
How does a small-bopper internally load his body to hit the ball as far, if not farther, than the big-boppers?
Tensegrity, or Tension-Integrity, is made up of opposing tension and compression forces.
We're most familiar with bones and muscles. But most are unfamiliar with a springy connective tissue called Fascia (said like:ˈfaSH(ē)ə,ˈfā-/). Thomas Myers, author of the highly acclaimed book Anatomy Trains, says fascia is what the muscles and bones float in.
Fascia is a cotton candy or spider webby-like material that is mostly made up of stiff collagen fibers. Collagen is very resistant to changes in shape, just like Joan Rivers face!
DID YOU KNOW...
That according to a Review by Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B 120 (1998) 41-49, titled: "Energetics and biomechanics of locomotion by red kangaroos (Macropus rufus)" by Rodger Kram, and Terence J. Dawson, the Abstract states:
| "As red kangaroos hop faster over level ground, their rate of oxygen consumption (indicating metabolic energy consumption) remains nearly the same. This phenomenon has been attributed to exceptional elastic energy storage and recovery via long compliant tendons in the legs." |
Most coaches think explosive rotational power is driven primarily by muscle.
Not true.
It is a combination of conserving and transferring linear into angular momentum, spine engine mechanics, and Tensegrity forces that give a friction-free swinging small-bopper a LARGE advantage at the plate.

As you have pointed out it naturally stops arm barring additional benefit for Colin it has helped with his timing allowing the ball to travel deeper. 2 Grand Slams this past weekend in Cooperstown NY tournament." - Chad Casamento, The Truth course owner, 11yo son |

Frequently Asked Questions...
Q: How long does it take on average for players to learn this swing?
A: According to my students, it takes the average Little Leaguer 4-8 weeks to get the footwork down. It all depends on if they practice every day at home. Remember, coaching is THREE things: 1) Teaching the right fundamentals, 2) Making the knowledge being taught sticky, and 3) Coaching follow through.
Q: My clients' parents want fast results but it takes time to apply the principles.
A. All parents want fast results, it's human nature. But some are open to taking time for proper Neuromuscular development. According to the bestselling book The Talent Code, Daniel Coyle says the struggle isn't an option, it's a biological requirement. Parents have to understand this, and have to realize they're responsibility is based on number three above: Coaching follow through. Parents expect their kids to get better with just three days of practice per week...but science says this is near impossible.
Q: Do you use Cevellos' heavy bat to help teach the un-weighting principle?
A. Short answer, not anymore. There are better alternatives on the market with the convenience of more model variety. You'll learn how powerful the un-weighting principal is and how-to build it into a future friction-free swing. I even do a demo of the un-weighting principal and it'll really open your eyes!
Q: What do you tell the parents about stride vs leg lift?
A: I tell them it's all about personal preference. Small-boppers in the Big Leagues use the stride for timing...Cano uses a slide step, whereas Bautista uses a leg kick. Push whatever the hitter is comfortable doing. Just note that a leg lift requires the Float to happen sooner, and last longer than a Cano slide step.
Q: How effective are these principles in slo-pitch softball where the player must generate almost all of the power?
A: It's even more critical that you use these principals in slow pitch softball. You still have to conserve linear (forward) into angular (rotational) momentum like any other explosive rotational athlete does. The barrel plane is the only difference if you're playing a ten-foot pitch arc. You'll learn a lot from The Truth Course and it'll translate into more consistent power on the field.
Q: Is 7yrs old too young to teach this style of hitting?
A: Nope. 7-years-old is the youngest I teach this swing to. Now, the speed at which they grasp the movements may take longer than say a 12yo. But just have patience with them...just the fact you're teaching the friction-free swing to them early will pay dividends when they get to the big field.
Q: Without going into my background I will say I have too found the more important part of the swing is the proper load and momentum built to turn on ball. As a kid we were taught slow feet quick hands. Timing?
A: Yes, and timing is VERY important. Think of linear and angular momentum as making the Final Turn feel lighter. A hitter becomes a projectile missile versus a bump on a log...think of the broad jump versus the triple jump in the Olympics. I go into quite a bit of detail on how-to calibrate timing in The Truth course.
Q: My kid does not get his front heel down throughout the whole swing process; will this program help him with this?
A: Yes it will. He'll be putting more weight on the stride leg initially, so it'll feel more natural to him to put the heel down. Getting the front heel is crucial to getting the timing signal to the front hip to open. If the pelvis doesn't get that signal, or it's muted, then we also don't allow the signal to continue up the spine into the shoulders telling them to counter-rotate the pelvis...like when we walk, opposite leg and arm come forward. Again, the course will help with this.
Q: I've always disliked e-books and pdfs, and I access internet by phone and nook. So even smaller print. My question is, is The Truth compatible with mobile devices and am I going to be straining to read a bunch of pdf's?
A: The Truth course is made up of 100% mobile device compatible videos. There are some PDF's you can print out to take notes, but it isn't required.
Q: I've also heard you say this helps correct arm barring, or hands first types of swing. Is there evidence of this?
A: Yes, the Catapult Loading System helps with this. Getting the shoulders into the right angle and the hands locked into the proper place engages The Spine Engine. It will take time to un-learn a hands-first swing, but will pay off. The Catapult Loading System helps with arm barring and bat drag without having to purchase a specific hitting aid. For evidence on this, I'll be periodically posting case studies of my students to HittingPerformanceLab.com, and you can see for yourself.
Q: I've heard you say this can help with lunging, is that true?
A: Yes this is true. Lunging and hands-first swinging go hand-in-hand. We're taking the focus off the hands and putting it on the spine engine. In a worst case scenario, if a hitter is out in front of a pitch using The Truth course information, then he or she will still have the Catapult Loading System to work for them. Hank Aaron was out in front quite a bit during his career, but he did pretty well for himself I think because he used the PRINCIPALS we talk about in the Course.
Q: Does this apply to softball as well?
A: Yes it does! All explosive rotational athletes NEED to abide by the same human movement PRINCIPALS. These are the rules of the game for baseball as well as softball. The only difference is Data Collection: Following the Pitch either over or under-hand.
Q: How is your system different than anybody else?
A: The Truth About Explosive Rotational Power is based on proven human movement science. I've been told by clients that the information fills in the blanks to what others have out there. You'll learn STEP-BY-STEP how to incorporate human movement PRINCIPALS in a way the brain and body work together most efficiently, as a whole and NOT segmented into puzzle pieces. The Course covers the THREE critical coaching elements: 1) Fundamentals, 2) Make Coaching Sticky, and 3) Follow Through Feedback.
