"Dr. Van Such has done an incredible job breaking down the different portions of the swing along with discussing the muscles used in each portion.

He has made it very easy to follow along with commentary and visuals provided.

With myself being an Applied Exercise specialist receiving my B.S. from Purdue University, Dr. Van Such is the first person I have ran across doing this and being very successful in doing so.

I would recommend his Baseball Swing Mechanics program, along with his others, to any other high school or collegiate players and/or coaches."

The "Swing Faster, Throw Harder and Run Quicker Baseball Speed Training Program"

The Swing Faster Program: Add distance and power to your hits:
20 3-minute exercises guaranteed to increse bat speed and power, and increase throwing speed and running speed.

“I have the Swing Faster baseball program and it is awesome! I am a junior in high school. I have been using the program for a week and a half and I am already seeing results in my hitting distance, bat speed, power, and arm speed.

I just recently hit two out of the park in batting practice. These were my first balls over the fence since little league. It felt so good to finally hit a ball over the fence.

My confidence in hitting has increased a lot because of this great program!

I just wanted to thank you so much for this wonderful program!"

“I have been using your program to increase bat speed and I must say, after 2 weeks I have added about 20 to 30 feet to my longest hit."

Thomas B. - Glenview, IL

“First of all i just wanted wanted to thank you for the swing faster and throw harder program. It has increased my bat speed so much. The first time i hit after using this product i was hitting bombs with ease.

So thank you for that, Jerry"
