Drill Demonstrations

This page is dedicated to teaching moments and drill demonstrations used by Coach Beck with his baseball and softball hitting students. These drills, many of which are referred to as "under load" and "overload" drills, enable hitters to get into strong hitting positions by focusing on  "feel" through exaggeration (overload) and both slow-motion swings and 70% swings (under load). Coach Beck places a heavy emphasis on the "slow-to-fast" or "slow-to-explode" approach for hitters to develop balance, leverage, power, and the ability to see the ball long through the hitting zone.
