Science of Hitting

Though the Science of hitting was not full of entirely new ideas to me, it did bring to light some philosophies that I had not heard before. I find this book gives me a mental calm and preparedness going into the season.

I am 50 and playing in a Men's Senior Baseball League in Atlanta. This book has been perfect for me and the result are astounding. "Science" is a good work to have in the title of this book because Ted Williams distilled hitting to its essence. There is such great logic behind his approach that it is very easy to remember. The mind is not clouded with an endless list of do's and dont's. I wish I had know of this book earlier. It makes a world of difference. Last fall when I played, I got maybe 2 hits the entire season. This summer I am hitting .457. Ted Williams was a very smart player and, as it turns out, was a great teacher as well.

The passion Ted Williams had for hitting and for the game of baseball is clearly evident when reading this book. Whether you play baseball and are looking to improve or if you are just a baseball fan and are interested to learn more about how one of the best ever approached the game, this book provides a fascinating look into the art of hitting. A great read.

This book really helps. Ted Williams is
my sencond favorite player Manny Ramirez is
my first. The people who thought of making this
book are great [Ted Williams and John Underwood
made this book].This book has great pictures in it.
I also put this in my so you'd like to at the bottom of the
page. This book is long but good. It has a surprise at the
end of this book that I loved. You should really get this book
because it helps you to hit the baseball better. So go get this book because as the greatist baseball player ever said," The hardest thing to do is hit a baseball" and he is true you can learn anything else easy but it will take you a while to hit a baseball. So you should go get this book it is good with hitting and it is good to just pick up a book and go read.

When your son or daughter asks you how to hit better --- don't just make stuff up as if you really were a good hitter (and you weren't) --- buy this book, instead. Read it yourself so you can help give truly practical advice, instead of guessing.

Ted Williams really shows the true science of hitting and anyone who wants to develop good hitting skills should read this book.

I gave this to my son to read when he was 13 and by the end of the season he was hitting 400 points higher and with more power. Would he have developed that way without reading the book? I'll never know, but I'm sure the book made a difference in how he "aproaches" seeing a baseball.

It certainly helped me to know what to "look for" in his swing so I could give him constructive feedback based on what I learned from Ted Williams.
