Frequently Asked Questions
1)What exactly is the Lightning Stick™ ?
The Lightning Stick™ is a batting tool created and designed by Joe Magno that when used will dramatically help increase bat speed, hand-eye coordination, and palm up/palm down memory. This batting tool teaches a batter how to change his muscle memory to improve his speed and learn how to be palm up, palm down at contact.
As a result, players who use the Lightning Stick™ on a consistent basis for a period of several weeks can dramatically improve their hitting skills, resulting in more base hits – as well as more hits to the outfield.
It may look difficult, but after fifteen minutes of using the stick, a five-year-old kid can hit the ball palm up, palm down in ninety percent of the cases.
2) Have other teams, clubs, or organizations used the Lightning Stick™ with results?
The answer to this question is – yes! To date, the Lightning Stick™ has been used by countless little league coaches to help train their players to become consistent power hitters. More and more Junior High/ high school and college baseball and softball teams and coaches are beginning to use this stick to help train their players to become outstanding power hitters with proven success. This stick has proven to give tremendous results for players of all ages.
This batting tool is also being used more and more by minor and major league baseball teams with proven success, such as the New York Yankees hitting instructors and many colleges throughout the U.S. with proven results.
3) How long must a player use the Lightning Stick™ to notice much better results in hitting?
That’s a good question. In order to be good at anything, you must practice, practice, and practice!! Since every player is different in playing ability, teachable, and willingness to learn, there is no “set” time to when you will become an outstanding hitter. But, if you practice using this tool consistently – every week for a good amount of time, the more you use it the better your hitting will be. On average, players who use this batting tool each week consistently with lots of practice have seen tremendous results in as little as 4-6 weeks in their hitting abilities! But please don’t expect to become a power hitter in just one day – that just won’t happen. However, using it consistently every day- or every other day for 4 to 6 weeks you should see results.
