Hate to diverge from the discussion point of the 4X6 drill, but I am curious of some of your thoughts.......... (from what I've read, there are some very knowledgeable and experienced coaches I'd like to hear from!)
1) I've heard various coaches talk to locking the front leg just prior to contact to "hit off the front leg", similar to a pitcher driving off her front leg.
** I've watched many videos where DIV1 batters and MLB batters lock that front leg.
2) I've ALSO heard NOT to bend the front leg and leave a slight bend....
- What is the reasoning for NOT locking the front leg?
I'm NOT arguing against it, just need to better understand the proper mechanics so my girls are benefiting.
