The Absolutes of Hitting

The Lau philosophy of hitting is taught exclusively at our schools. Our philosophy is based on what we call the laws or absolutes of hitting:

• Achieve a balanced stance
• Launch the bat from a 45 degree position off the back shoulder
• Develop a rhythm to alleviate tension
• Stride with front foot closed
• Take a direct path to the ball; pull the knob to the ball
• Develop good weight transfer -- from a firm rigid back-side to a firm rigid front-side
• Keep head still and down at contact
• Hit through the ball with lead arm extension and flat hands
• Finish the swing high
• Hit to all fields
