Growing up, I never had physical size on my side.  Sure, I was tall, but I was the resident "skinny kid" on every team I joined.  As such, I didn't have the liberty of making mistakes - I had to be fundamentally flawless in every aspect of the game.  Including hitting.

​

After 35 years in baseball – as a professional player, coach, and trainer – I have witnessed the same mistakes repeated continuously. Upon reflection, I realized the root cause; individuals with (or without) hitting experience wholly misunderstand a proper swing. Conventional wisdom suggests (and current broadcasting supports the idea) that a good swing can be measured mathematically, eg. bat speed, bat angle, exit velocity, etc. This is a scientific way to 'define' a good swing.  However, it simply misses the art of a proper 'hands inside the ball' swing that yields the solid contact needed for the aforementioned measurements to exist at all, i.e. measuring the effect, not the cause.

Many devices have been designed to artificially weight or manipulate the bat in a way to distort the swing into perfection. Again, missing the point of a fundamentally strong swing and interfering with the player's development. The Bomber Bat's torpedo-like barrel design re-aligns the player's awareness of the barrel and its location with respect to the ball, inspiring the proper swing. Additionally, the bat is made of wood, to allow for proper feel when the ball is struck correctly - and instant feedback when it is not.
