hitting=throwing ?

[stiksdad]

For those that use proper throw mechanics to aid in teaching hitting, ie weight transfer, releasing the back heel, and walking off the back foot. When you have a right handed thrower and a left handed hitter do you change the way you teach this or do you them throw with their weak side hand?

I just have them get in their normal throwing position and go through the motion of throwing, then i let them figure out how to feel it on the left side when batting.

My dd bats left throws right. There is no change I'n training you do it just like she was using the same side for both.

Some may know hitting first better than throwing. So you may use hitting to help teach throwing.

thanks

Thanks to all, thats kind of the way I was headed I just wanted to be sure. Tim, I am teaching very similar to Hitters format, I have read as much as I can find, and will be attending what I understand is his last clinic in WVA In Feb, I am sure I will understand things a lot better once I see everything. Really am looking forward to the clinic my daughter and I have been Bustos fans for as long as I can remember.
