Donnie Ecker (Texas Rangers Hitting Coach)

---

“Can’t thank Coach Ring enough for all his hard work these past few years. Both of my boys have seen tremendous improvement not only mechanically with their swings but in their confidence on the baseball diamond as well. They’re excited for Spring to get started and be back in the cages with Coach Dave!”

“My personal testimony is that I was a starter at Gonzaga University. A Division 1 University that has a proven track record of having winning seasons and competing in the NCAA tournament every year. We came just a little bit short of achieving our goals but I knew that if I could have just done a little bit more at the plate then we would’ve made it just a little bit farther. Like every young aspiring Baseball player, I felt like the weight of my team was on my shoulders.  With just working with Coach David Ring for one off season doing countless tee drills and batting practice reports. I went from being a .240 hitter to a .348 hitter with way more RBI’s while striking out way less. David Ring isn’t a Guru because those type of people use magic. Even though working with David felt like I was having beginners luck. It was proven after I got drafted this summer in 18’ while hitting at the professional level my hitting translated very well from being a Division 1 baseball player then being fortunate to say this is my profession. 

If you are a concerned potential student of the game that wants to improve your offensive game at the plate then I would highly recommend David Ring at Canyonside cages along with his whole staff. David made hitting fun again and taught me how to swing like a Pro and helped make the connection from making contact and how to actually drive baseballs consistently at one of the highest levels there is on the planet. David is a great coach and cares about players who come to his program who actually want to learn. It’s not about a quick fix because the longer you stay at Canyonside Cages the better you get. I’mhonored and lucky enough to have found a mentor such as David and gave me a fighting chance to compete with some of the best baseball players in the world and one day hopefully achieve my dreams to becoming a Hall of Fame baseball player. Do yourself a favor and reach out to Canyonside Cages and take your game to a highly competitive level!”

"I have had many people in my life help me along my way through baseball, school and social life. Dave Ring has been so inspirational and a beacon of light and hope when it comes to the mental, mechanical and functional part of hitting.   I am currently a Student/ Athlete at UCLA on the Bruins baseball team.  I am a right handed hitter and catcher. Dave has mentored me on a professional approach and set up all the way from the load to forward motion, swing path, contact, follow through and tempo.  Dave has a very advanced approach to teaching, modeling and coaching. He has very high expectations of his students and demands that they come back for the next session only if they have worked hard in between and mastered the prior weeks movements. Dave employs many unique tools and techniques that help break down movements and swing keys.  Dave restructured my swing over a 6 month period between my Sophmore and Junior year at UCLA.  I have noticed significant progress and my results are the proof of his great work. I not only led my team in batting average this summer in the Great West League but I carried the best batting average (.477) in the entire league."
