Free Fastpitch Softball Drills - Controlled Gilmore

Working off a tee the hitter stands with her chest facing towards the pitchers mound.  She then proceeds to step in with her back foot and ‘load’ the back leg (knee bent, holding position for a couple seconds).  Once balance has been achieved on the back leg the hitter may stride forward and hit the ball.  The idea here is to increase the load on the back leg to assist in feeling the back side drive forward.
