Customer Reviews

For coaches, parents, and the players

It seems that Mr. Cluck has hit upon his focus points in such a way that coaches, parents, and the players can all take something away and, consequently, grow in their understanding of the game. "Think Better Baseball" is an easy read. Mr. Cluck uses a well organized approach, simple language, ample pictures and diagrams, and a generous number of situations for all players at bat or on defense. Mr. Cluck provides ample thoughtful material that I will revisit in February, just before our season starts.

Excellent for High School and College

This is excellent for high school and college. Although much of it can be used for lower levels as well, most of it caters to more experienced players. There are many examples of how to get the best out of practice and out of a team. Well laid out and easy to read, very good information, recommended.

Cluck did it again.

I thought Play Better Baseball helped me as a coach, Think Better Baseball takes it a step further. This baseball genius breaks down the game as never before. I would recommend anyone to buy all of his books. They have become my "baseball bibles".

Bob Cluck did it again

Bob Cluck must be the greatest all-around Instructor in baseball. I have read all of his books and used them as my bibles to teach baseball at the high school level. I have won 8 consecutive league titles using the fundamentals and advanced mechanics found in Play Better Baseball and Think Better Baseball. Think Better Baseball is just what I needed to advance my coaching skills to the next level.
