OUr HItting
Our approach to hitting is simple: Hit the ball as hard as possible, while generating the most bat speed at the right launch angle using the least amount of energy. Effortless Power it the term and the only controllable element in the hitting process. We want our 8 year olds to swing as hard as others 17 year olds and we have achieved it.
We accomplish this by a deep study of physics, anatomy, and movement patterns. We famous hitters like Ruth, Mantle, and Griffey. Pre weight room and technology players we believe had it figured out, but also elite athletes from other sports like boxing, martial arts, track and field, and many others. Sports that require a specialized discipline in the movements baseball players need to utilize. Just a more focus field of mastery. For example, Arm Wrestlers require the greatest amount of forearm strength and technique, just like the impact point of hitting a ball. So using arm wrestlers as guides we design a grip program to maximize the absorption rate or our hitters.
We teach the FEEL of a movement, while using a feedback system to tell us we are correct in the adjustments. What was your best swing at your last practice? Are you 100% sure. We make sure.

Our Approach
At Tomahawk you are going to get something a little different but a lot simpler. We have discovered that mechanical errors in the swing can be rooted back to a cause of mechanical breakdown. This flaw is usually sourced at either muscle (the over use of it) or timing (the lack of it). We read the result of every hit ball and then trace it back to rectify it from the source not the symptom.
It takes minutes to fix problems not months.

What you will not get from us.
You are not going to get a coach sitting on a bucket tossing batting practice. We are going to teach. We believe in the WHY and we are going to explain it on everything we do. Open communication and debate, with the player and parent engaged throughout the entire process insures everyone is on the same page and growing.
You are not going to get traditional FEEL based cues (get on top of the ball, short compact, or create backspin) that has been around for years. Most Ex Major League Baseball players teach what they felt not what they did. We will explain where these were created and show what they actually referring to. We believe this form of teaching hitting is ineffective and is designed to capitalize on the current weakness of the defensive player. This method of hitting will inevitably lead to a self elimination from the sport when the defensive player’s ability equal or greater that of the hitter’s physical abilities. Hitting it on the ground at high levels simply is an out.
You are not going to get a cookie cutter approach to hitting. We believe in our hitting system 1000%, but we are not glue to it, every player is different and brings thier own puzzle to solve. This requires constant adaptation and adjustment. We are not afraid to experiment because we are not afraid to fail. Without failure and experimentation there is no discovery. Without discovery all that is left is normal. Who wants to pay millions of dollars to someone who is normal. Only the special move up to the next level. Let us help you become special.
