This technique is great. I can hit the ball harder and farther with backspin. I'm a better baseball player now.
-Brandon House, age 8
Charley's video series is all you need to teach your child the sweetest swing. We've been using the Lau technique for years now and even though my son is only 8 he's constantly getting complimented for his swing from the other parents, coaches, umpires, and bystanders. Nothing will make a parent prouder than when he overhears a conversation about your child and hearing, "that kid has an incredible swing". Even though he might not be the biggest child on the field he's able to drive the ball with more authority than most of the bigger and stronger kids. It's all about the technique. Thank you Charley. -Rene House, (44-father)

What did the Lau System mean to me? After some experimentation and refinement, we came up with a stance and hitting approach for me that worked. And little did I realize at the time what it was going to do and how it was going to change my life. I've never looked back.
Thanks, Charley

Joey Hyer

You probably don't remember me given the amount of time that's passed since I trained with you and the number of students that you've taught. My name is Joey Hyer, Im from New Jersey and I attended one of your winter hitting sessions back in December of 2002. I never fully thanked you for what you showed me when I was down in Florida. You completely changed my swing to make me a better baseball player than I was at the time. More importantly, you taught me a lot of life lessons that, at the time, I wasnt quite sure I understood, but now I completely do. I finished out my college career and played one year in the minors before I "retired" to join the army to become a combat medic.

I've been deployed, I'm currently deployed now, and I've seen and done things that would leave most people scared for life. I used to hold on to the game of baseball so tight, always so worried about having a bad day in between the white lines . . . now that all seems trivial because a bad day for me is when one of my guys gets hurt or killed and thats already happened more times then I'd like to admit. But if there's one thing I always go back to is my time out on the diamond and those days when it was just me and the ball. Every spring I still get chills because my internal clock is telling me its time to start playing even though I've traded in my bat for a rifle. I will say this though: I can still step in the box and smoke a line drive without missing a beat and I can still turn 2 up the middle with my eyes closed . . . and I have you to thank for a lot of that.

Keep doing what you're doing Charley; there's a lot of bad out in this world but theres also a lot of good. Tell the kids that you teach that its just a game, it's not meant to be serious; it's meant to be fun. There will come a time when they will grow older and they'll find out what serious is. But most of all thank you, thank you for picking up where your father left off and thank you for taking it one step further. My only regret is that I wish I found you a little earlier in my life cause I might not have ever traded in that bat for a rifle . . . but everything happens for a reason as they say.

Sincerely,
Joey Hyer
