Everything You Wanted to Know About Attack Angles But…

October 21, 2016 by Bobby Tewksbary Leave a Comment

Attack Angles

In today’s post we will look at the keys to accurate contact and hitting the ball hard. Using data from HitTrax plus Diamond Kinetics we will examine the best ways to approach your attack angles. We will clarify the concepts of top spin and back spin and what they do to a batted ball.

Do you want to understand how to create flush contact with the ball and launch bombs, or spend your career regretting that you were just a ground ball hitter? This is why it is so important to understand how the swing impacts the launch angle, distance and velocity of the batted ball? Should you be swing up or swinging down at the ball? Do you know what your power band is?

Let’s answer this with real data!
