Those types of camps are usually only for 2 days and about 4 hours long, those aren't geared towards anything beyond an introductory course w/little personal attention. But, the Bulls/Sox academy has Fall Leagues geared towards personal instruction as well as extended playing w/wood bats and the academy also offers separate personal instruction depending on the financial capabilities. Cangelosi also runs a very good academy.

I have read all the Tom House stuff and have the materials in my house. But I still do not always feel that I am "getting it." And I am 40 and have been pitching in local leagues for almost twenty years. Last Winter I had the opportunity to spend a few days with Curt Young and Brian Price, the pitching coaches for the A's and D'backs respectively. And with one on one instruction I was much more able to understand and implement what was being told to me.

 

I agree that refinements and tweaking are often necessary. While I review what I have in the house, I do not feel that is what I need if I have a serious problem. White Sox academy offers a package of 5 half-hour lessons for $250. Will Carroll has mentioned one guy in particular to me as someone who definitely knows his stuff. I trust Will when it comes to pitching. So combining the recommendation of someone I trust with local on site tutoring, that seems like the way to go.

Mill's program is the best one out there if you ask me.

 

If you are getting one on one attention, then thats maybe something I would consider. Depends on who this tutor is though. I feel like I have an advantage over other pitchers, because I have the Mill's pitching program.

What is Mills' hook? Is it mechanical?

 

Everything you need to know about pitching is included in his program. Proper mechanics, proper weight training, good eating habits are some examples. He also gives you a throwing schedule, the same one Tom Glavine uses. His weight training program has really helped me. He makes sure you work on getting more functional strength.
