Hitting Gurus

Just a thought .... drama tends to pollute the website (i.e., add unimportant content) and makes it more difficult for folks to extract useful information.

Oh I thought that's what this thread was for.

Sometimes chisme' is fun. But I get it. No need for drama.

I would like to add Tewks to the list for Guru also. Not my guru. But a guru.

Carrier is nothing like any of the other Hitting instructors at HI or Swingbuilder. not even close.

Whats the story of Carrier making fun of the handicapped kid and getting banned? Id like to know what happened there?

I used the hitting mechanics taught by Carrier and daughter played 4 years in college hit over 400 3 of the 4 years and hit over 500 one of those years and now she is a high school math teacher and assistant softball coach. IMO using his instructions is why she was so successful in her college career.

I actually had the pleasure of meeting Howard and found him to be a very caring and knowable man. I don't know anything about him being banned for making fun of a handicapped child.

I did read a story on him where his son was injured in an accident when he was a child. Howard used hitting mechanics to help his son recover from his injuries and his journey as a hitting instructor started from there, as Howard became known for his success as an instructor more and more kids came to him for help.
