Welcome to the "new" www.hitting-mechanics.org web site.....
Hello and welcome to www.hitting-mechanics.org. My name is Paul Nyman and I would like to welcome you to the "new" www.hitting-mechanics.org. I am the founder of www.hitting--mechanics.org. I'm also the founder of Sports Engineering and Training Products, more commonly known as SETPRO.
What is www.hitting-mechanics.org?
In short www.hitting-mechanics.org is a place where very serious players, parents, and coaches can come to better understand how the body swings and throws and more importantly develop your and/or your players abilities to swing and throw so that they may become better players.
What www.hitting-mechanics.org IS NOT a place for those who are not prepared to question, listen and contribute the best possible factual information to improve our understanding of how the body swings and throws. and more importantly how to develop a players optimal/maximal potential to hit and throw a ball. It is not a place for those who THINK they know more than anyone elseabout how the body swings and throws. nor is it a place for those who wish to engage overt or covert self promotion (that is other than myself ;-)..... ).
www.hitting-mechanics.org is an attempt on my part to light a candle in what I consider the great darkness that exists with respect to understanding how the body optimally swings and throws.
www.hitting-mechanics.org is also an attempt on my part to realize the power of the Internet with respect to providing and obtaining the best information possible on how the body swings and throws. Over these past 10 years I've come to understand that most of what are considered "good" hitting or pitching mechanics is nothing more than one person's opinion. Or it is nothing more than what people "perceive" as opposed to what actually is happening.
And that with respect to developing a better understanding and providing information and assistance that the Internet is in my opinion a big disappointment. Most of the information/discussions/forums are are either social gatherings with little or no capability to coherently discuss hitting in pitching mechanics or are forums that are provided as sales tools. Those forums of the social gatherings have very little real interest in pursuing hitting in pitching mechanics other than offering opinions with little or no factual information to support those opinions. Those forums that do "try" to discuss hitting in pitching mechanics are usually trying to sell books or videos. Also these forums are very much biased toward whatever is being sold i.e. the forums are sales tools as opposed to having true intellectual curiosity as to how to best swing a bad or throw baseball
It IS a place for those who honestly and sincerely wish to improve their knowledge, abilities, skills and performance with respect to swinging and throwing.
I hope you enjoy your visit/stay here as I look forwards to increasing my knowledge and understanding of how to optimally swing a bat and throw a ball.
Paul Nyman
