You have your hitter set up then place a ball on the tee. The object is to have the hitter start the swing at full speed and just before contact try to STOP the bat. Most will tap the ball off the tee trying this drill for the first time.
Dana, The problem with that is if the girl knows she is going to stop at the tee, she will not have the same form as when she is trying to drive through the ball as with a bag.
My daughter has never actually hit a bag, her coach had her hit a pole at indoor practice that had the big thick pad on it. I have to tell you, I was very impressed at the way it freezes their form, almost like you took a picture right at contact.
Also, they do this very seldom and it is only a few swings, just to see if they can spot any problems withy the swing.
Obviously a very controversial subject
