Tee Hitting

Purpose:

• Develop a fluid and flat swing plane through the ball while properly shifting the weight and maintaining good balance.

Equipment:

• Balls, bat, tee, and net

Drill:

• The hitter should assume their stance and place a 70% effort on the swing speed.
• The object is to make good solid contact with the ball.
• Hands should be inside the ball and the hands should be slightly in front of the belly button.
• When finishing, the belly button should be pointing to the pitcher or think of it as a 90 degree turn from the starting position.
• The weight should be shifted to the plant foot and the back foot should be pivoted and aligned with the belly button.
• This is the best place to grove a swing and develop proper fundamentals.

Result:

• The hitter should be hitting line drives into the net of fence consistently.
• The front foot should be pointing in the genera direction of the pitcher.
• Head should be down and eyes focused on the contact point.
• The chin should travel shoulder to shoulder from start to finish.
