Catapult Loading System: How To Teach 100-Pound Hitters To Consistently Drive The Ball 300-Feet
"My son at 10yo (90-lbs) is highly coachable. I taught him the system in February and he hit well during the season but could only hit the ball around 180'. Then all of a sudden around June he started killing the ball. He was hitting home runs every game and hit a ball at least 250-feet" - Michael Parillo (via email)
Sick of struggling to help hitters drive the ball hard with more consistency? Dramatically increase power without sacrificing swing quality. Literally tens of thousands of coaches across the nation are getting predictably positive results with hitters using the CLS system. How? By applying human movement principles validated by REAL science to hitting a ball, and NOT "bro-science".
This is the second edition to the 2017 Amazon best seller with over 11,000 copies SOLD & DOWNLOADED, has amassed over 100 book reviews (1st & 2nd editions combined) with an average review of 4.2 stars out of 5! At www.HittingPerformanceLab.com, we've helped tens of thousands of coaches build consistent power into their hundreds of thousands of hitters.
Look, you can eat tomato soup with a spoon, fork, or knife, but only one of those is more effective. Teaching hitters is the same. There are hundreds of ways to teach it, but there's one most effective way. What's that? By applying human movement principles validated by REAL Science to hitting a ball, NOT the inferior teaching model of because-I-said-so "bro-science".
THIS STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE TO CONSISTENT POWER
- How to master a handful of human movement principles, so you can slice the "teach hitting" learning curve in half.
- How to effectively load the body, so your hitters can optimize their batted ball distance potential.
- How elite-hitters are revealing ways to hit balls with High-Exit-Speeds, swing after swing, using three elements a 4-year-old can understand.
- Why 'loading and exploding the hips' is bad for lower back, and how to teach hitters a highly effective but SAFE swing.
THE NEW EXPANDED EDITION
- 'How to practice' section at end of each movement principle Chapter.
- How to train a 2-year-old to hit a moving ball (proof that NOT only elite hitters can be taught these movements).
- Why pitchers are taught to pitch around ineffective swing paths, and how to turn their weapon against them.
- Why coaches MUST focus their hitters' efforts on targeting and elevating pitches low in the zone.
- How to teach timing and get hitters on-time more often in games.
Swinging smarter by moving better.

The book is split into two parts: first mechanics, breaking things down into general body motion mechanics principles, then grip and various body position tips, and second, how to instruct, including tips on how to drill and generally organize batting practices (it doesn’t give specific practice templates though). The advice is backed by Myers’s reading of the sports science and then his own experiments. For the latter he gives links to many video demos. I actually wish the book was more self contained rather than relying so much on links to external material—it got annoying having to switch back and forth between the book and the websites. Also there is a lot of fluff that in which Meyers tries to dispel doubts about him being a snake oil salesman. I get that he felt like he needed to address doubters but it would interferes with an otherwise helpful book.
