Tennis Balls

[Amy in AZ.]

Yes, I use them, as most have described above. I use a dog Chucker to teach hitting and to throw the tennis balls to the outfield. Most tennis clubs sell a large sack full for $5.00.

Thanks left that off my list. Amy didn' t that come from the Weekly's in TN?

I also use them for a running drill--get out of the box drill.

Players in batting stance at plate, I stand down the 1B line, bounce the tennis ball and yell "GO" they have to try to get it on the first bounce. I keep moving down the line. Players love it.

With tiny first time players, I use them instead of a softball at first to teach throwing and to catch.

The Chucker drill came from Right View Pro. I learned it a UofAZ's coaches camp.

Warrior, It is so simple. The student stands in the box, puts a tennis ball in the chucker - and swings it, exactly like her swing. If you teach hitting, you will know what to do.

We face the backstop, so we don't have to chase so many tennis balls.

I used them for 25 years. I tell the parents that I charge the 3 tennis balls for coaching their daughters!!!!!!
