The Charley Lau Art of Hitting .300 video was created by one of the premier hitting instructors of all times and is a great addition to any coaches library.

The quality of the Art of Hitting .300 film leaves much to be desired, as it was obviously done on a very low budget, but the lessons are clear, easy to understand, and less expensive than the cost of attending his legendary hitting school in Florida!

"What this system taught me was how to think as a hitter. And that I think may be the most important part of hitting: knowing where the hits are, to right-center or left-center. It completely changed my approach to hitting." - Hal McRae

The Art of Hitting .300

Description

Charlie Lau was a student of the best hitters in the history of baseball, thus is it any mystery that this video would be the "best" about the "best" from a professional hitting instructor.

Charlie Lau breaks hitting into easy to understand components, then assembles these components into a successful hitting system. Follow the method and be successful. Many of today's baseball stars are using this system very successfully.

"A GREAT VIDEO FROM THE GREATEST HITTING COACH OF ALL TIME."

"The first impression one gets when viewing this video is the poor audio and video quality. Was this video filmed by my 8 year old son on the family camcorder? The second impression is that Charley Lau is not really a 'people' person. His on camera presence is one of arogance and distain for the high school kids he is demonstrating to. He also continually 'name' drops baseball stars who have no real presence in the video. Note: that all demonstartions are done from the left side of the plate. This may be not be a negative issue, but it should be something to be aware of before purchasing the video."

"As a 14-15 year old senior league baseball coach I have found Mr. Lau's techniques for hitting extremely useful. What was most helpful from the video was Lau's focus on a good weight shift, which makes it possible for a lightweight hitter to make strong contact with the ball.

I found his talk about lead arm extension useful as well, not only does it allow for a complete follow-through, but stresses the importance of keeping your head 'down on the ball'. I would recommend this video to anyone interested in improving their swing through the use of sound mechanics."
