The Hidden Cause of Many Swing Problems: It’s Not the Mechanics

Many hitters struggle with swing flaws that don’t actually come from their mechanics. The real issue is often the visual system — the eyes and inner ear aren’t tracking the ball well enough for the hitter to execute the movement under game speed. Vision and vestibular training can dramatically improve a hitter’s ability to make mechanical adjustments that hold up against live pitching. If a swing looks great in drills but breaks down against velocity, the underlying problem may be sensory, not mechanical.
