What a fantastic book on hitting by one of the greates all-time hitters, Ted Williams. In a nutshell, its a book designed to teach the reader to hit better by showing them a comprehensive look at the science behind hitting. A few things that seemed to stand out:
-the style of writing is like he's standing there talking to you which makes for an easy read
-the batting advice is pretty thorough leaving no stone unturned
-the battting advice is based on science
-the pictures demonstrating the techniqes are OUTSTANDING and include all angles including some very good overhead shots
-the stories he tells of other baseball players are priceless!
Highly recommended for anyone who wants to hit a ball better, I found it to be a very well-rounded book based on both science AND experience. Also recommend Treat Your Own Rotator Cuff if you have a shoulder problem that interferes with your playing.

This book proves babseball isnt just a game. It is a an art, a science, and truly a treasure for all people.
Format:Paperback
simply stated;this is as close as you're gonna get to picking the brain of a person that took the the most difficult thing to do in sports,into a different time zone. i have also read bob clucks,"how to hit,how to pitch",which has alot of very helpful drills in it for both hitting and pitching.The combination of the 2 books is perfect.Teds thinking ,and theories are incredible!!
