COB is the best place to go for top level hitting instruction. Crack of the Bat instruction includes teaching mental & physical skills needed.

Congrats to COB’er and LLSWS champion Scarlett Cerda who set a new exit velo PR of 65 mph off of the tee. Scarlett consistently sat 63 mph which was her old PR. That’s four mph faster than where she was hitting consistently some months ago.
So awesome to work with hitters like Scarlett who gets after it every week and pushes herself in and out of our lesson sessions.
Proud of you, Scarlett! Way to mash!💪🏻
Top hand work is important for hitters.
It’s the accelerator.
Along with the back hip, the top hand is huge.
Let your bat head whip fast through the zone.
Generates a lot of power along with a driven back hip.
Stay fast. Catch barrels!

Busy week for COB’er Piper Reese Piper Reese as she attended a softball prospect camp today at the University of Mount Olive.
Piper (Fuquay Varina HS/2029) has quickly moved herself, over the last year, into a great recruitable position with continued hard work.
Great work today, Piper!💪🏻
Thank you to the UMO Softball coaching staff for putting on a great camp.
Low and outside is tough to elevate.
For some, it’s just tough overall.
The key is to stay in your legs.
Use the ground force to drive forward.
Balance as a hitter is 🔥!
Check this out and reach out so I can help you.

Congrats to GOAT COB’er and LLSWS champion, Abbey Robinson on her new PR of 61 mph off the tee.
Abbey, a seventh-grader at Archer Lodge MS, is one of the best and most talented hitters around. She is strong and finds a lot of barrels. Abbey will continue to grow as a hitter as she continues to work hard.
Congrats, Abbey on your new PR. Proud of you! 💪🏻🙌
