The launch angle mistakes that are killing your hitters' swings โ€” and the 4-step fix

Use this simple formula to consistently barrel the ball, reduce strikeouts, and hit more hard line drives โ€” in 60 days.

  • โ†‘ Batting Average on Balls in Play (BABIP) โ€” see the backs of outfielders, not the front
  • โ†“ Strikeouts (K%) โ€” conquer the root cause of mis-hits and weak contact
  • โ†‘ Repeatable Power (OPS) โ€” become a pitcher's worst nightmare, pitch after pitch
  • More multi-hit games โ€” 3, 4, 5 hits in a game becomes doable, not lucky

Here's the uncomfortable truth: The "launch angle" conversation in baseball and softball has produced a generation of hitters who are swinging harder than ever โ€” and making worse contact than ever. Not because they're wrong about wanting launch angle, but because the instruction on HOW to achieve it is mechanically backwards.


Telling a hitter to "swing up" creates a barrel path that runs across the plane of the pitch, not through it. The Pitch-Plane Dominator teaches hitters to be short to the plane of the pitch โ€” not short to the ball. The difference produces everything the launch angle conversation promised but couldn't deliver.

About Joey Myers

Four years of D1 baseball at Fresno State. Career stats: .250 AVG, 9 HR, 40 RBI. I didn't miss instruction โ€” I had plenty. I just had instruction that wasn't grounded in movement science.

Since building the Hitting Performance Lab, I've applied the same principles physicists, biologists, biomechanical engineers, and body workers use โ€” to hitting a baseball and softball. The rules of human movement never change, and they apply equally to every hitter.

What coaches and parents are saying

"You're the first I've seen to successfully articulate and adopt human movement into anything practical. Few are willing or able to explain human movement the way you have. These principles are the key for both performance and injury management."
โ€” H. Orlando James, ATC, CSCS, NASM-CES/PES
Certified Athletic Trainer ยท Strength & Conditioning Specialist ยท Corrective Exercise Specialist ยท Performance Enhancement Specialist
"Love your stuff. Your system turned an unsure, very-bottom-of-the-order 12U baseball player into a #3-in-the-order-all-season confident 13U hitter."
โ€” Bruce Bergen, Iowa
"I have a 14-year-old daughter playing Fastpitch softball โ€” 5'7" and 126 lbs โ€” and she hit 5 homers this summer!"
โ€” Adam Varner
"My older son clicked with the '2 parts to the swing' rather than all the pieces of the puzzle drills. My other son is two years younger and saw powerful results in just a few drills."
โ€” Corey Mir, Wisconsin

The 4-step formula

Each step targets a specific, measurable outcome coaches can track. The formula works because it addresses the root mechanical cause of each problem โ€” not the symptom.

1
Increases BABIP
Super-charge batted ball distance
Two simple tweaks that increase how hard and how far balls are hit when your hitter makes contact.
2
Reduces K%
Conquer the root cause of strikeouts
Fix the mechanical issue that causes mis-hits and whiffs โ€” the one coaches can see but haven't known how to address.
3
Increases OPS
Repeatable power on any pitch
One human movement law that makes your hitter a consistent threat โ€” not just on fastballs, but on any pitch in any zone.
4
More multi-hit games
Barrel the ball all game long
When the first three steps are in place, multi-hit games stop being luck and start being the baseline.

What's inside โ€” 6 modules

Module 1
The Big Ideas โ€” consistent bat and ball exit speeds
Learn which concepts actually determine exit velocity โ€” and which ones are marketing language that have nothing to do with science.
Module 2
Front Knee Action at stride landing
The role of the front knee during stride and through the turn โ€” and why it's the mechanical key to barrel-path consistency.
Module 3
Back Knee Action during the turn
How the back knee at stride touchdown controls rotation quality โ€” and what it looks like when it's wrong vs. right.
Module 4
Barrel Acceleration โ€” short to the plane, not the ball
This is the headline concept: being short to the pitch plane, not short to the ball. The distinction changes everything about how the barrel arrives at contact.
Module 5
Barrel Extension โ€” defense against off-speed
A bulletproof mechanical defense against being fooled on off-speed and breaking pitches โ€” and against being out in front on elevated fastballs.
Module 6
The Drills โ€” Pitch-Plane Domination in practice
Drills for building the body positions essential for pitch-plane domination โ€” optimized for mobile viewing so your players can use them in the dugout, at home, or on the go.

Common questions

Does this work for softball hitters too?
Yes โ€” and there's a module specifically addressing the minor tweaks needed for softball. The human movement rules don't change based on the sport, and the course includes guidance on applying the principles to fastpitch. Adam Varner's daughter (a fastpitch hitter) hit 5 HRs after implementing this system.
My hitter is already working with a hitting instructor. Will this conflict?
It may challenge some traditional instruction โ€” particularly "swing down on the ball" and similar conventional cues. Most coaches use this course as a framework to evaluate what their hitter is being taught, not as a replacement for their current instructor. H. Orlando James (ATC, CSCS) described it as "the principles that are the key for both performance and injury management."
What age range is this designed for?
Youth through high school and adult. The course covers 12U through Varsity and adult league hitters โ€” the Bruce Bergen testimonial (12U to 13U lineup jump) and the Russ Lederman testimonial (59-year-old slow pitch player) both demonstrate the age range this works across.
Is this available as part of a membership?
Yes โ€” PPD is included in the War Room Elite membership alongside the Catapult Loading System, Reaction Time Mastery, and Truth About Explosive Rotational Power, starting at $37/month. If you want the single course at a one-time price, this page is the right purchase.
How does this relate to the Catapult Loading System?
CLS focuses on the loading and power mechanics โ€” how the body stores and releases rotational energy. PPD focuses on how the barrel arrives at contact โ€” specifically matching barrel plane to pitch plane. The courses complement each other: CLS builds the force, PPD builds the path. Many coaches own both.
