This process also increases your speed, quickness, and strength while reducing fatigue, shortening recovery time and totally eliminating shin splints forever.
Customer Review: seems to work
bought this for my brother. he runs the 400m in high school track and since he started using springbak his times have improved and he says he is less tired after the race... guess it works
Customer Review: awesome for volleyball players
I bought these for my daughter, she playes volleyball for Long Beach State, in fact the entire team wears the Springbak Springsoles since I have recommended them to the trainers. I did not tell her I secretly put the Springbak's in her Mizuno shoes. She had an awesome game, most blocks ever for her, and I noticed she was serving and spiking much harder. I told her about the Springbak's after the match, she was amazed. She reported less shin splint problems and just less fatigues. She was getting 2to3 extra innches on her verticle jumps, which explaines all the blocks for her. We are extreemly happy with Springbak Springsoles and will recommend them to all our volleyball contacts across the nation.


How To Develop A Balanced Hitting Base For Youth Baseball Players!

My early ideas about keeping the elbow up, and the long stride, did not lead to a balanced powerful swing. I quickly learned to accept a new way of thinking. The earlier a youth baseball player learns to develop a balanced swing the better. A balanced swing makes it easier to hit to all fields. A balanced swing is much easier to repeat over and over from a good balanced base. The first move to the baseball from the trigger position will be with the hands. This is difficult for young players to learn at first. The are many drills to help instill this important part of the swing. I will share some of them with you soon in an upcoming article.

Thanks Coach Chip

We have covered the very basics of the balanced hitting base of the swing. Most players will have to widen their stance to at least shoulder with. Some players even a little more may be needed. My child has a wide stance. This helps keep the toes on the ground during the beginning of the swing. If a player is lifting up the toes during the swing, they are shifting their weight improperly. The hands should be held as high as the player feels comfortable with. They should not be buried up against the body either, We are trying to eliminate movement that is not needed in the swing. When there is less movement, it is easier to stay balanced. So go find a quality hitting instructor that both you and your child feel good about. Get some references from others if needed. Go to lessons with an open mind. You will both learn a lot about balance in the baseball swing.

When I see a youth baseball player shooting line drives all over the field, there are certain things I look for in their swing. The first thing I usually notice will be that the player is balanced during the entire swing. Balance in a baseball swing is something that will deliver consistent results for the hitter. The balance in a baseball swing begins with the stance. The player's weight should be evenly distributed on both feet to start. When the player begins the trigger, or start of the swing, some of the weight will then shift to the back leg. These subtle movements were not always clear to me. I learned most of this from watching our team take hitting instruction from a professional instructor.

Some people will groan about paying someone to help a youth baseball player learn to hit properly. I must say years ago I was not a believer in hitting lessons. I thought I already knew all about hitting. My child has always been able to hit well, mostly due to natural talent luckily. My child was asked to play in a tournament with a travel team. This team used hitting instruction. As I watched how much it helped my child improve, I wanted to know more.
