Step-Back Drill
Focus
Load & Separation
Execution
From your normal stance, take a step back with your rear foot as you load your hands. Then, stride forward into your swing. This exaggerates the feeling of coiling the hips against the torso to create stretch.

Top-Hand High-Tee Drill
Focus
Hand Path & Staying Connected
Execution
Set a tee at the top of the strike zone. Using your top hand only, focus on driving your hand and the knob of the bat directly to the ball. This prevents the hands from dropping and promotes a short, efficient path.

Kettlebell Swing-to-Hit
Focus
Kinetic Sequencing & Hip Drive
Execution
Hold a light kettlebell like a bat. Perform a few explosive kettlebell swings, focusing on the hip hinge and explosive drive. Then, immediately pick up your bat and take a swing, replicating that same hip action.
