That is really interesting! I never would have thought of that! Now that I think about it, I did see the ball as pretty small over the 8 years I played baseball icon_sweatdrop.gif .

Yep, it is true. At the Memphis camp I took batting practice with golf ball size balls to help your perception, just like warming up with a donut on your bat to weigh it down. Once you get in the game, you do see the ball better when practicing with golf ball-like balls.

Kinda similar to what m drum teacher does. He has me do warm-up drills with his "war clubs", then gives me my regular 5A sticks and it feels so easy. bluetongue.gif

I was never good at batting though, I still can't even hit the ball if I'm tossing it to myself. icon_sweatdrop.gif

Interesting Base, I never had heard of that. I assume it really would be quite effective TheSmile.gif . I assume you are referring to the Memphis Redbirds?
