I have seen a drill that I would like some feedback on. I have tried it with my daughter and seems to work well. It improves swing plane and promotes connection.
Here is the drill......I call it Thumb to Thumb. Your bottom hand grips the bat normally but the top hand is reversed (thumb to thumb) while gripping the bat. Both thumbs will be facing the catcher during stance.This is very ackward at first but they seem to get the hang of it after a couple of rounds. I tell my daughter to keep both hands on the bat until contact and then release top hand on finish. We do one 3 rounds rotating between Thumb to Thumb and normal grip.
thoughts?
