Charlie Laus Real Influence On Hitting Many years ago I had the opportunity to be around Pete Caliendo, a baseball hitting instructor located in Chicago that worked with Charlie Lau before he died, and he stated to me that Lau often said, most people never really understood the mechanics of his method of hitting...which was a combination of rotary and linear mechanics. Charlie Lau helped develop numerous .300 plus hitters, and he also INSPIRED many hitters to become much better hitters. Charlies success for helping hitters improve and excel came from helping them to focus on the mental and visual aspect of hitting...not just the physical... even though he worked their tails off physically to improve their hitting skills. Along with emphasizing consistent contact, he stressed the top baseball vision expert Dr. Bill Harrisons dynamic vision technique of fine centering and soft centering visual training. This was a radical breakthrough for hitters, and is still used today. In conclusion, we owe Charlie Lau for bringing bio-mechanics, physics, and dynamic vision training into the 20th century hitting process. Without him, the advancement in hitting mechanics which have led to the improved slot position swing used by most of the better power hitters in the 21st century, would have still yet to be discovered.
