We have used that mental approach. Hammer it down the right field line. Then she fly’s out to right field and says I did what you saidIt’s a good reason to do so. Fastpitch reaction times from a young age are shorter all the way up to the pros.
So eventually the pitching gets really good and seeing it deeper is ideal. Backside line drives are the goal mostly when getting older. But with the timing constraints and the bat speed girls can generally generate you gotta shorten up. It’s not an oppo approach physically but a oppo approach timing wise. Adjust from there.
Happened the first time we used it about a year ago.
She understands now that it is simply mental (timing) approach. Had to explain to her that you will not actually hammer it down the right field line but you will smoke it to the LCF gap. It’s a timing que.
