Tee Work
Contact
- Start from ready position and stop at slot.
- Use your wrist to assist the barrel to contact. It is similar to the hammering motion.
- At contact, continue through the ball with a push through the ball, assuring we are not rolling over our wrist.
Front arm swing
- Choke up on the bat gripping the top of the grip with your front hand.
- Place your back hand on your front bicep to help brace the weight of the bat and avoid your swing from dipping.
- You will have to get a little closer to the ball than usual, the length of your bat being shortened from choking up.
- Focus on feeling the bat getting on plain and getting the knob pointed towards second base.
- Begin this drill slow and increase the speed with reps.
