Beginner Program

Week 1

Basics & Mechanics

Goal: Establish proper swing mechanics and develop consistent barrel control.

1. Tee Work (Light HydroBat, 30% liquid):

  • Place a ball on a tee. Focus on proper stance, grip, and weight transfer while taking 3 sets of 10 swings. Aim for consistent barrel contact and keep your head still throughout the swing.

2. Dry Swings (Light HydroBat):

  • Stand in your batting stance without a ball. Swing slowly and deliberately, paying attention to your bat path and follow-through. Perform 3 sets of 12 swings.

3. Contact Zone Drill (Regular Bat):

  • Set up a tee to hit inside, middle, and outside pitches. Perform 2 sets of 8 swings, focusing on adjusting your hands and barrel to each location.

Week 2

Consistency

Goal: Build consistency and confidence in swing motion and contact.

1. Tee Work (Light HydroBat):

  • Focus on hitting line drives to the middle of the field. Perform 4 sets of 10 swings with a slow, controlled motion.

2. Controlled Front Toss (Light HydroBat):

  • Have a partner toss balls gently from about 15 feet away. Take 3 sets of 8 swings, aiming for consistent barrel contact.

3. Dry Swings (Regular Bat):

  • Repeat Week 1 dry swings to reinforce proper mechanics. Perform 3 sets of 10 swings.

Week 3

Building bat speed

Goal: Develop faster, more explosive swings while maintaining form.

1. Rapid Swings Drill (Light HydroBat):

  • Swing the bat as fast as possible while maintaining good form. Perform 3 sets of 12 swings with rest between sets.

2. Tee Work (Medium HydroBat, 50% liquid):

  • Focus on driving through the ball with added weight. Perform 3 sets of 10 swings with smooth, powerful motion.

3. Front Toss Reaction Drill (Medium HydroBat):

  • Have a partner toss balls quickly. Focus on reacting fast and making solid contact. Perform 2 sets of 10 swings.

Week 4

Game Application

Goal: Transition from training to game-like performance and build confidence at the plate.

1. Alternating Swings:

  • Alternate 10 swings with Light HydroBat, 10 swings with your regular bat. Repeat for 3 rounds. This helps transition from training to game-like performance.

2. Front Toss Simulation:

  • Perform 3 sets of 10 swings using a Medium HydroBat, simulating game scenarios. Adjust to pitch locations and speeds.
