Improve Batspeed & Power – Weighted Batswings
Weighted batswings are a common method to improve a hitters batspeed and power. However in most cases the implements inviolved (donuts, weighted bats ) are used incorrectly and can do more harm than good.
When doing this form of training keep these 3 things in mind:
1. Choose a bat that is the same length that you always swing.
2. Only increase the weight by a couple of ounces. Putting too much weight is trhe most common mistake. You are swinging not weight lifting.
3. Above all keep your proper swing mechanics. Working off a tee will help you keep them dialed in.
