JP Review
These DVDs are suggested for coaches, players or parents of players who are ready to learn the more sophisticated and intricate pieces of the "art of hitting!" It's a get what you pay for series designed for the student of the game. I had the privilege of hearing Coach Ellis speak at the National Coaches Convention in Chicago. I found his content straight-forward and his style interesting, easy to follow and understand. You will easily learn the secrets he regularly teaches today's best pro hitters and tomorrow's superstars... The Lost Secrets Of Hitting!

A critical look at the art of hitting, featuring the players who made the game great.
Priceless, rare footage of Hall of Fame hitters Ted Williams, Stan Musial, Mickey Mantle, Hank Aaron and a dozen others are examined with each showing the pure elements of hitting in an age when hitting meant square contact.
The Lost Secrets of Hitting contrasts modern hitting principles with the pure hitting principles of past decades, which are demonstrated in slow-motion and stop action. Through this examination of the game's greatest hitters, viewers will see the swing action that has been lost in the hitters of today and rediscover what real hitting is all about.
This examination of hitting in its purest form is a must for the professional bound player.

About Coach Rob Ellis
Rob Ellis has played, coached and written about baseball for over 35 years. He became one of only 18 players to advance directly to the Major Leagues without first playing in the minors when he joined the Milwaukee Brewers in 1971 shortly after finishing his college career at Michigan State, where he was named College Baseball Player of the Year (baseball's version of the Heisman Trophy).
Ellis had a 12-year pro career as a player, which included parts of three seasons with the Brewers. He broke into the coaching ranks with the Chicago Cubs in 1983. He returned to Michigan State as an assistant coach from 1985-1990. In 1991 he managed the Everett Giants in the San Francisco organization. Ellis later served as roving hitting instructor for the Baltimore Orioles from 1995-1997, and was the hitting instructor for the Minnesota Twins during the 1998-1999 seasons.
Coach Ellis' ability to teach hitting is also evidenced by his master's degree in counseling psychology and his co-authorship of The Mike Schmidt Hitting Study.
