Do you still use/recommend the whip hit?

Thinking of making one as I feel it may help some issues foe my dd. I read a lot of old posts and it was highly recommended back then. Do the experts still feel,it's a good tool? My dd casts a little and just doesn't seem to whip the barrel. She also seems to stand straight up when she swings.

If I had one tool for hand path it would be the whip hit. Immediate feed back. Sweet spot that is nickel sized. Tough to Master for kids that take their hands to the ball or cast. Give it a try.

Surprising to me and an added benefit was my DD's boost in confidence after finding out that she could hit normal speed v. a pitching machine using a whip it bat.

I made one a few months ago and DD loves it. The first time you have a kid use one make sure they have a helmet on, poor mechanics will show up in a hurry with one of the Whip-Hits and taking one on the noggin is not out of the question.

IMO start out with slow swings and work from there.
