Softball Hitting Drill - Mounting a Tire

[SBFAMILY]

Tim I still think we need to have a post of Britt swinging the axe bat and talk about forearm strength. You think we might get some takers! Show a few trees she has chopped down in the back ground. I'm sure Gerry would love to set that one up with his camera knowledge. Not sure if Dana got a picture from Howard on that device ! CB sure loves to pull jokes with it.

I am sure Mud was but I am continually amazed at what I see being developed to help kids develop bad hitting habits. Practice doesnt make perfect. It makes permanent. This is my first view at this one.

I am sure these guys had good intentions with this product but I view it as counter productive to learning a high level swing.

Dana.

They may have had good intentions or they may have cooked up a gadget they thought they could sell or the two motivations may be so blended they don't know where one begins and the other ends.

Mark, I'm still laughing on that device. Brings a new meaning to Squish the Bug..

 

[Coach Lia]

It has been recommended that this drill is not a good drill to use for hitting because the impact of the tire will hurt your wrist.

 

[Mark H]

Wrong for that and several other reasons.
