The Ultimate Hitting Fundamentals, Techniques, and Strategy Guide is the first book in our new hitting series called Building the High-Level Swing. This first book comprehensively describes hitting fundamentals systematically and stepwise. It explains the mechanics, techniques, and options to enable each unique player to construct a powerful and productive swing from the ground up - a complete and unabridged hitter's "bible." It also provides a practical template for assessing a hitter and then setting appropriate short and long-term hitting goals.

Each fundamental step references appropriate drills to build that skill - find these drills in our new companion book, The Ultimate Hitting Training Guide. We hope you utilize both guides - together, they provide the ultimate swing construction training plan.
