Just got a dozen to use with my daughter and our U12 rec team and will try them out tomorrow for the first time. What has everyone found to be the ideal distance from the batter when doing front toss when using the TCB's?

Tried ours twice so far. DD 11 has struggled to hit them with any distance at all. She's small but a good contact hitter. Her problem IMO has always been not hitting through the ball and extending so I'm interested to see if these help. First time she hit two dozen and the farthest one went maybe 10 feet on the ground. Second time she hit a few then went further than that one. Both times I did first dozen side soft toss and the second dozen from the front at about 15'.
Don't be concerned with hitting them far. The focus should be on high speed impact. Hitting them too far could even mean they're pushing; not good.
