That's why they make little wiffle balls and even machines that throw little wiffle balls. Tell the hitter to visualize there is a marble in the center of the ball and they have to hit the marble. Aim small.

rdbass, please enlighten us in plain English. I have a hard time decoding your post. LOL.

Oh and bye the way do you have that gif where the college aged hitter is in the batting cage and she points the barrel of the bat at the pitcher and hit the snot out of it and says " that's a hr in any ball park"

Practicing hitting 'spots' on a ball I'm fine with. But, I thought we were discussing REAL game pitched balls.

When working with hitters I have made all types of suggestions. I especially like the Ryan Braun (low inside part of ball) when a hitter hits around the ball instead of behind and through the ball. A focus on that location combined with a tight HPP leads to a better barrel path in my opinion.

When in a game, just hit the $>%& ball. Hit it hard someplace.
