Here's what I got to see with DBU today and why they mash.
Every rep was either measured for EV or in some form of competition.
Tons of weighted bats and different movement ideas.
In 3 hours of practice Heefner stopped things once for 90 seconds to talk mechanics.
Damn it Cohen. Can't believe you didn't interview this guy.
Hitting is all about biomechanics and not just a swing now. It's movement assessment & technology, thrown in with strength. Hitting philosophy is old school.
Heefner is damn good.
Will likely only leave for another Christian U though because of stuff he like to do with his team.
Little different than my day. Hit down on the ball!Quote:
