TweetTHAT THING LOOKS LIKE FUN....AND SHOULD HELP!

TweetFor me the most effective way to practice hitting is to use a batting tee and a bag of wiffle balls. Tee it up and start hacking. The sooner you can hit a wiffle ball cleanly off a tee, the sooner you will become a better hitter. When you hit a wiffle ball off a tee correctly, it acts like a knuckleball. You can hear the air going through the ball. When you don't hit it correctly, you create spin on the ball and it goes all over the place. When the ball spins alot, I make adjustments to correct my swing. Even after 18 years in the big leagues, every winter I go home and break out the tee and wiffle balls. It's not the most exciting thing, so you have to be creative. I put my headphones on and listen to my favorite music while I concentrate on my hitting technique.

Here is a good drill.
The purpose of the Power Bat Drill for a baseball player is much the same as a boxer using a heavy bag to train with. Boxers learn how to develop power in their punch by trying to power through the heavy bag. Baseball players learn to develop power in their swing by hitting through a heavier object than a normal baseball. The result is the same for both athletes… increased power through the point of contact!
What you will need:
A batting tee
A plunger
A flat soccer ball or basketball
A hitting net (or wall)
A bat
How the drill works:
Slide the plunger handle into the batting tee.
Place the flat soccer ball or basketball onto the plunger cup top.
Execute your normal swing repeatedly.

The goal is for the hitter to strike the much heavier ball without having the bat decelerate at the impact point. This takes proper technique and explosion at the point of impact to achieve. What you will see is that with the first few swings, the barrel of the bat will "stutter" through the impact zone, meaning that it will decelerate at the point of impact for a fraction of a second before resuming its speed to the finishing position. Concentrate on the proper mechanics, not with launching the ball. Proper mechanics will accelerate the bat head sufficiently to power through the heavier ball. The flight path of the ball should be level (around chest high) into the hitting net (or wall). Power is all about bat speed at impact, not the size of the player. This drill will increase the power at impact if it is used on a regular basis. Remember to always use a flat ball for this drill.

TweetBATTING CAGES!!! FUN FOR EVERYONE...

Tweet^ INTERESTING!! SHE WILL BE HITTING LIKE A PRO IN NO TIME!

TweetWe go to te cages every week and I also bought very small wiffle balls the size of golf balls

TweetI take this serious so Im open for any ideas and good post 45ever

Thanks bro!

TweetIt's all mechanics..My son was struggling and a few diff changes in his approach changed everything..I can't see how she swings so it's hard to suggest what to change or add.. a simple tee is a great way to work on the swing...even just kneeling off to the side and lobbing balls in front of her so she can get in a rhythm...this is a good one because you don't have to chase balls, hit em right into a fence

Tweeti THINK HER BAT IS TO HEAVY.lAST YEAR WAS A 28 THIS YEAR i GOT HER A 31
