"From the first viewing it is apparent that all of Woodsy's talents fused from years of experience as a player, coach, and teacher have coalesced into this exquisite teaching video. His easy going manner as well as his encouraging and supportive style provide a lucid and detailed description of how to hit a baseball. He understands kids; he knows baseball and he grasps the fundamentals of how we learn. He breaks the process of hitting the ball into discreet parts, that one can practice with a child both at home and on the ball field.
From the batter's stance, to seeing the ball, to the step, the swing and the follow through; Woodsy clearly explains these basic principles describing exercises that will make them second nature and help any child hit the ball more often and with greater confidence. My son has thoroughly enjoyed the video. It has helped me to work with him in a more constructive and supportive manner, and both his hitting and his confidence have improved. My only wish is that there had been such a tape when I was a kid!"

"Bobby Woods’ instruction in his batting videos is peppered with phrases like “muscle memory”, “weight transference”, and “stimulus response”, but the video is so carefully organized by segment and the terms so clearly defined verbally and visually that any intimidation felt by parents of either gender – will be successfully relieved."
