Recommended Drills
1
Connection Ball Drill
Focus
Front Side Control & Hand PathExecution
Place a softball or ‘connection ball’ between your lead bicep and chest. Perform swings without letting the ball drop until after contact. This drill forces the upper body to stay connected and prevents the front shoulder from flying open too early.
2
Two Tee Extension Drill
Focus
Bat Extension & Driving Through the BallExecution
Place one tee at the normal contact point and a second tee about 12-18 inches further out in front. The goal is to make contact with the first ball and continue the swing path to also hit the second tee, forcing extension through the hitting zone.
3
Step-Back Drill
Focus
Kinetic Sequencing & Lower Half DriveExecution
From your stance, step your back foot behind your front foot, then step it back into your loaded position as you stride forward to hit. This exaggerates the feeling of loading the back hip and driving energy linearly towards the pitcher.
