I do half swings to work on extension. Start on tees and progress to front toss. Hitter swings through the ball at half speed and stops at full extension with the end cap of the bat pointed at the pitcher with head down. Teaches lots of good stuff. Staying on the ball longer, hitting the inside half of the ball, tracking ball all the way to contact. I have them check their lower half to make sure the front leg resisted (locked) and back foot rotated.

Getting to extension has nothing to do with 'timing'.....

Cool. That's my DD's catching instructor in all 3 clips :)
