SWING AND HITTING MECHANICS ANALYSIS WITH LEADING-EDGE BASEBALL TECHNOLOGY
HITTRAX™
HitTrax™ is the first and only baseball data capture and simulation system that provides the powerful combination of performance data and entertainment value. Using patent pending technology, HitTrax measures and displays real-time data in a manner that is bringing the baseball industry to the next level.
SENAPTEC
Senaptec Strobe training eyewear is designed to help you process vision faster and more efficiently. This provides a unique edge for athletes to perform at a higher level more consistently and with better decision making. Most athletes notice improvement after one 15-minute session.
JC VIDEO
JC Video’s Digital Mirror Ultimate Software is the benchmark for all other Motion Analysis programs. Motion analysis software provides the ability to provide frame-by-frame comparisons, email clips, and add audio instruction to a swing for later review and retention. An important component in any lesson is visual feedback, and instant video replay sets the mental image for the student to alter their swing where traditional instruction without video fails.
WHAT OUR HITTING CLIENTS SAY
“All the coaches are knowledgeable, professional, and patient. As a result of their lessons, my boys were hitting harder and faster and they made their respective travel and all-star teams!”
“Get there sooner than later , my son could not wait to get home and on the tee to practice what he had learned. Jeff Pinkman has a great way to communicate with young men.”
