I felt like rules changed every time we played it.

I think it's beneficial. The kids are always in awe that we coaches can do it, because it's brutal when they try it themselves. I may have my kid start doing it. She was getting better last time we fooled with it. She needs some reaction work for sure.
The real question is, do you toss with your dominant hand, or your non dominant?? I'd like to see that poll as well.
Here is a bottom hand versionI'm with you on this, I just don't see it as having any value other than possibly a general hand/eye coordination drill. Posture, grip, load and many other elements of the swing can be overlooked. Maybe it has some potential as a top/one hand drill, I will look into that
If you walk into the hit you can but yeah just standing there it is not easy (especially for a 12 YO). I've always tossed with my bottom hand.You don't really have time to load when tossing it to yourself in any meaningful way.

My 8 YO son can do it hitting both hands (but he tosses with the bottom hand )I'm supposed to get them to walk AND toss a ball AND swing and actually hit it at the same time?
Might be worth a try for the comedy.

If I was going to toss with my top hand this is the only way I would think of doing it. I actually hit my DS GB this way (well not open like that but..) the other day as I tore my bicep on my top hand arm...lol. I cannot use it to swing but flipping it up I can handle..
I saw it.Watch my vid, she's gotten it down with her regular bat!
