Basketball hitting drill

[CycloneSoftball22]

Absolutely!

My issue with the drill is that I have to continuously remind hitters about the function of the wrists when doing something like this. In a large group, as I walk around the cage, a hitter can go without proper feedback and drift to a muscling approach. IMO this drill needs continuous watching and feedback.

Thanks. I found this video and was interested since I already knew that most on this board frowned upon it. But , it seems that your analysis presents caution for a different reason than most others.

Somewhat similar caution ... people that perform this drill to strengthen their wrists are often using their wrists incorrectly. This drill 'can' cause people to muscle their wrists ... and degrade valuable whip-like action ... and it can lead to pain in the wrists .... and IMO that pain is your 'friend', in that it is telling you that you are doing something incorrect.

Depends on whether you're Republican or Democrat.

Don't you think kids would like to return to a college camp where they got to break things and get candy?

LOL ... I can see such a drill catching on at some of the college camps.

"Hey dad, that was fun. I can't wait to go back next year".

They are using mini balls which is much different than the above video and they appear to be inflated. In part of the video it seems they are doing opposite field work, any value to that?

Wow look at the slow mo of FFS video and watch her follow through, goes almost straight back over the top of her shoulder after she thuds the ball
