I saw them referenced in the UL Lafayette thread, did a search and could find no explanation as to what the SnF is.
I did find several people asking what it is, but saw no responses.
thank you.

Prepare yourself for 12 pages of videos depicting random hitters and a minor discussion about ear lobe shifting.

In the end you will still not have a specific answer.

knightsb did try an organize a thread here concerning SnF.

It's 62 pages and it's a lot to filter out. What this site really needs is a wiki.

I need to go back and check the links, for some reason the links change over time, not sure if that is because threads get deleted or what...

FFS :Now take what you see above ... remove the plate ... and rotate everything 45-degrees. Hit line-drives to the back of the cage. Now remove the tee, maintain the 45-degree orientation, and have someone throw front-toss to you while you drive the ball back up the middle of the cage. Then repeat with the pitching machine set to normal pitching speed. Have fun!

The hardest part when doing the SNF is being able to swing out from your body. Most want to swing around their bodies. This might help try Attack Opp. Set the tee up for outside pitches. Then practice hitting line drives opposite field. Helps with getting the 'feel' of swinging out from your body. Resist the shoulder rotation.
Picture the hitters feet 45/open and you get the feel.

This is how I posted this saying it was Attack Opposite hitting. Then it was used as an example of how to do th SNF 45 degree.

I posted Busto gif of Attack Opp.because I like how you can see exactly how it is done. For my DD it helped show how to swing out from the body not around her body. First step in her re-learning to swing correctly. I used Busto as a great example for this purpose.

Search youtube for SNF drill. It answered my questions.

I would rather not post a link for various reasons.

The video that the above clip is from is outstanding btw. Both of dd's benefitted from it.
