Daddy O . We have used a bucket 1/2 full of concrete or a concrete block for years to help get across how not to squish the bug. This is easier and a heck of alot lighter. Milk crate on one side take pipe wrap insulation , cut it to length of top of one side of milk crate and put on top. I use pull ties to hold in place. The milk crate goes between the legs of the hitter with the wrap facing the back leg. If they squish and spin the back foot the back leg will not hit the milk crate, if the back foot is used correctly they will feel it hit the milk crate. Instant feedback. Softballphreak hit it on the head, he think outside the box. This month's softball magazine he has the top three training video's in terms of sales. The cone drill we started using right away at our practices. It teaches kids to hit to a selected spot. You only get points if you hit the ball between the cones. We make a game of it.
