Great guy. Awesome with my 10yr old. Gives my boy great confidence at bat in games. My son gets up to the plate knowing he’s going to hit. Definitely has the edge. Highly recommended.

FAQs
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Please feel free to contact me at 516-503-3342

Every new student will start off with a thorough evaluation. The hitter will have their swing recorded in multiple angles using a high speed camera. The baseball swing is an extremely fast movement and frame by frame analysis allows you to see things impossible to see with the naked eye. Game swing video will also be requested, as sometimes practice swings vary from game swings. The video will be analyzed to break down the strengths and weaknesses of the swing. Swing speed and attack angle data will also be collected via the Blast Motion sensor. The Blast Motion data can be used as a benchmark to see improvement and to compare to hitters of the same age.

What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Always ask questions. Make sure what your instructor is teaching is also done by MLB players. Check youtube and watch slow motion video of your favorite player, to make sure your instructor's methods match what MLB players actually do.
