I enjoy the emails I get from all over the country with regards to questions about hitting. A recent email though stands out. Chuck R., residant of Florida, saw some of my work and thought I could be a help to his 14 year old son Jordan. Chuck had a few questions about Jordan's swing, and after we talked on the phone, decided to book a flight for he and his son to Chicago to work with me for the day.
Jordan is a powerful kid, with pretty darn good hands. He and his father both have a good understanding of swing mechanics, so when got to work, we really got after it! Jordan had a few set up issues that we saw right away in his video analysis. We went back and forth all morning, working drills, filming his swing over and over again. During our lunch break, I took him out to the field to film him on my high speed camera at 1000 frames per second.
We had a blast! Jordan got some valuable information that will get him going on his way and I really enjoyed the effort and energy Jordan and Chuck gave throughout the day. After 4 hours, Jordan's hands were bleeding (literally) and it was time for him to fly back to Florida. They were great people, and its good to know I have some new friends in the Southeast.
It's amazing how connected the world is today because of the web. Now my client base has exploded from coast to coast as I am doing a lot of Skype lessons and DVD analysis with players from Los Angeles to Boston!
