Sure a Hack Saw should do the trick. Make sure the ball lines up where the sweet spot would be on your DD's normal bat. Always wear a batting helmet.
I adjusted the length of the rope so it would be in the sweet spot for a 33" bat. I think the one you can buy is for a 32" if I'm not mistaken.I didn't think Whip Hits were made long enough to put the ball where your sweet spot would be on a normal bat.
Thanks for the info! I was thinking they were even shorter than that. I guess it makes sense though.
I played baseball and got big into weight lifting in my 20s. One thing I learned is the recovery time and diet are even more important then the workout. We always said strong muscles are built in the kitchen, not in the gym.
Our hitting sessions are always 2-3 girls. They push each other, and it keeps it more enjoyable for them. The hitting sessions usually last about 45 minutes. They are pretty tired by the end. I don't think there is a wrong way, but always keep in mind you are trying to build a single explosive move, not endurance. We use a tunnel at a faciluty 50% and 50% is in a garage. I do side toss at in angle as part of it, we are working on swing mecs not tracking. Now early next spring we will go to mosting front toss. I only use lite flights and tcb balls in the garage and I still nearly get my head taken off.
With the swing work and strength training...dude she is going to blow it up!
drc...this is quickly becoming my DD's favorite bat to swing with. Let us know if you get one and how she likes it.
We use it on the tee just like any other bat. You really need to whip hard and use your wrists to get it to work. I then move to her normal bat and have her try to get the same whip with it. I forgot her helmet the other day so I couldn't pitch to her with the Whip Hit.
