work outs

Question
QUESTION: im 6 ft and weigh about 180.i bat lefty and im a right handed catcher.i want to know a good way to practice at home(hitting).my problem is i dip when i swing. i want to know a good technique that will stop it.i have a lot of power and when i am level i crush the ball.

ANSWER: This is a easy fix I believe.Take a tee and sit it on a bucket.Make sure the ball is just below the chest.Start hacking.This is a self teacher, if you dip you will hit the tee.You can even do this without hitting a ball just swing right over the top a see how close you can get to the tee without knocking it over.You can do this for an inside , outside or down the middle pitch.

QUESTION: i want to know work outs that will work out my fore arms so i can have a lot more bat speed

ANSWER: i hate to say this but stonger forearms does not always lead to more  bat speed. Its like saying go get your legs bigger and you will get faster. If you want to run faster you must work the muscles that help trigger that. It is the same way with bat speed. If you want to create more bat speed you need to work those muscles. You can do what I call the rapid fire drill. You train your muscles to fire quickley and with greater force. It is simply done by taking up to ten balls in your soft toss partners hand and he simply tosses you balls one after another and you explode on the ball as quickly and as with much force as possible. If you would like to see this in action you can log onto my webpage and see the drill being performed.

Answer
I really cant help you without seeing your swing. What I can tell you is to try to hit the ball the other way.This will help you track the ball longer.If you can tell me something that you believe you are doing wrong or explain to me what is going on in a game I may be able to help you.
