CamWood Hands & Speed Trainer Bat: CAMWOOD

For example, if you hit with a 32-inch bat, then you should train with a 32-inch bat. The extra weight is distributed in such a way that it does not seem heavy. Think of holding a sledgehammer by the head rather than by the handle. The redistribution of weight makes it seem atec pitching machine balls much lighter. The Camwood Hands-n-Speed Training Bat is a weighted ash wood bat designed to develop bat speed and ensure sound fundamentals. The Camwood Hands & Speed Training Bat is a weighted ash wood bat designed to develop bat speed and ensure sound fundamentals.

My son is a Freshman power hitter and this bat is helping him hit the inside pitches and increasing his bat speed in a larger hitting zone. Our goal is to increase the hitting zone so he will hit with power even when it is not his favorite pitch. I love how they’re both “feel to learn” tools. Just having the weight near the hands helps hitters create “whip” in their swing, which is basically the Holy Grail of hitting. Train in your basement in the middle of winter? – When you can’t hit real baseballs, you can still simulate real hitting better than any other training bat because of the audible feedback the bat gives.

However, that causes problems when it comes to hitting mechanics, and can actually result in bad habits that slow the swing. There are so many training bats for baseball and softball out there… and many of them are complete gimmicks. It can be really difficult to cut through the hype and the marketing to see which ones have actual science behind them. My kid who is 9 years old completed the All American Package with CamWood. Came with 2 training bats and the 30 day hitting outline with drills.

Hands inside the ball swing (as if it’s possible to swing a bat any other way). You can have a swing trainer and still be shitty at swinging a bat. The praise of the Camwood system is almost too effusive.

So with that in mind, the bats listed below were chosen because they pass those 4 tests, . Many of these come in different sizes, so you’ll want to make sure you’re getting the correct one. For improving HITTING velocity, programs that were less than 6 weeks in length showed no improvement. A good, consistent program that is aimed at achieving muscle adaptation should be a minimum of 6 to 8 weeks. Then have them throw a lighter one, for building fast-twitch muscle fiber… AKA improving speed and velocity.

It forces you to commit to swinging and not slack off because they’re just dry swings. For baseball and softball hitters, we use a combination of heavy bat and lighter bat to do the same thing. Another problem is that you can’t actually hit a baseball with them. One study clearly demonstrated that hitting a baseball with the heavy bat yielded much better outcomes than just taking dry swings.

Watch this video for a quick overview of the what the science says about how to increase your bat speed. It specifically covers overload / underload training, including the recent studies that have been done. Baseball & Softball hitters are always looking to increase bat speed. I love how the ProVelocity training bat can be adjusted based on the strength of the hitter or what specific thing you’re working on. Also, it’s metal, so I don’t have to worry about breaking it. And finally, the mobile app tracking my improvements is what puts me over the edge, despite the much higher price tag.
