    Need help using a drill to teach extension and follow through

    #4. I disagree with . Even Bustos won't do this drill. It has been proven to hurt young girls wrists. Why do you want to do a drill that is not the natural way the hands move thru after hitting the ball?

    Slapper Problems

    Set up cones at targets and have her practice hitting between those cones no matter what the pitch she is trying to hit. You can do it by setting up T's in different spots. My DD use to use that drill for hrs at a time so she could place the ball no matter what the pitch was. I'm a firm...

    "Connector" Devices

    From a prior question we make them adjustable for each kid based on what we call the box between the arms. Easy to do with many of the ones posted above. Have one piece of the PVC able to slide into the other one. Drills holes that you can use slip pins to adjust the length. Each kid is...

    Speed vs mass?

    We tell our kids to swing the heaviest bat you can swing that doesn't effect your hand path or bat speed.

    "Connector" Devices

    Just as info years ago the connector device was posted by a former member and a Texas hitting instructor ifubuldit . Dana has made many such devices over the years. His only mistake was not getting a patent. Now there are many of them on the market. You can make one pretty cheap, as Howard...

    Video on bat path

    FFS, where did I post John's video? You did ! My video and comments where on Ehren and if anyone wants to check you flipped a video of John on here and started that conversation on riseballs, I didn't.

    Video on bat path

    Plus Ehren doesn't mention rise balls anywhere in his video, plus last I saw a riseball doesn't go up and just doesn't fall as fast as a fastball per video! Bustos was the best riseball hitter in elite fastpitch and you have posted the video of her hitting a riseball for a HR. She teaches...

    Video on bat path

    Right or Wrong. His team has a winning % over 700 four straight years and has one of the highest team batting averages in college. If you kid goes to this school guess what they will be taught. For those of us that have kids playing for college coaches they own you and its like work. You...

    I hate side toss, do you?

    A properly launched swing....WILL NEVER PUSH THROUGH CONTACT....regardless of what ball it runs into. Blamming the ball is kind of funny!

    Bunt data

    Also with speed on base your power hitter is less likely to see a change up. DD always had a green light on a change up. If your bunter/slapper is good they can also do what we call the duck hit. It is a hit bunched over the head of third or first that are playing in right behind the bag.

    Fixing long fly balls

    Watch the back arm elbow in the above video. If the timing is off and the elbow gets ahead in terms of the hands you hit fly balls.

    Is it time to switch?

    Young kids don't understand that hitting and throwing have the same motion. As posted by straightleg. Be postive and don't switch . Keep in mind to be a good slapper you still have to be able to hit. Next only the very fast should be slappers. Age my dd moved at 11, but it was based on her...

    What's the Worst Thing An Opposing Team Did?

    After a game the opposing players all spit on their hand before they went down the line. My players complained to the parents and I almost had a riot.
