    The technology is a trick. The real value is the amazing coaches. My now Junior in High School, had a Zero batting average in his fall season Freshman year. He loves baseball, but he was wondering about his future. I found Seeing Science online and Luke started lessons before tryouts in the spring. He had a great season, but there is more about that later. When soon #2 decided he didn't want to bat last anymore we came to Swing Science. He ended up with the 3rd best average, second in slugging, and highest on base percentage. When my youngest daughter wanted to play baseball we just went straight to Swing Science before her first game. The girl quickly moved up the batting order. I don't have any statistics for her because there are no Game Changer stats. Now Back to Luke. He finished his Freshman season batting around .400. He still goes to Swing Science for lessons. He's a Junior on the Varsity Squad. On Wednesday he got his chance to start for the Varsity team. The blurb he got in the Tribune doesn't really do justice to how much his batting helped the team. He has been starting every game since.

    I’m so glad I tried out this place. I’ve been playing my whole life, but have a tendency to pull to left field, pop up or hit fouls. Christian taught me a few techniques and I could tell they have already made a difference in my swing. He was appropriately technical. I appreciated his attentiveness also. My favorite part was how he worked with me and took his time learning how I could learn best. He really was the best. Looking forward to putting those skills into action this week and I’ll be back!

    The best part of leaving Swing Science after my daughter's lesson is how she is beaming and exclaiming "That was AMAZING!" She (9 year old) has had two lessons so far with Coach Pete, and in just that short amount of time, she has made a couple adjustments that are really making a difference in her hitting. Coach Pete is energetic, friendly, and good at explaining what little things will make a big difference. My daughter is engaged and working hard, and the science behind Swing Science is giving her goals to work towards. They measure speed off the bat, launch angle and distance, while also recoding each swing for analyzing. Cool place, great people, would recommend.

    My 10 year old son started working with Coach Jason a few weeks ago and has seen big improvements in his game already. Jason is fun and high energy and goes a great job explaining hitting and fielding concepts to kids; the integration of video analysis really helps get concepts across. I was so happy with the results, I've started lessons with my 12 year old daughter who is playing softball and the improvements from the start of the first lesson to the end were dramatic! I've been recommending this place to everyone who either wants to help their kid go to the next level or just keep up with the tougher pitching as they get older.

    Coach Jason gave my son a lot of great tips on improving his hitting. Their facilities are very cool and high tech with simulations and analysis of how they are swinging the bat. This definitely helps them figure out where the kids' problem areas are. So far so good!
