Softball Hitting Drills – Thunderstick

Purpose: To learn to see the ball better at contact when softball hitting.

Procedure: Using a very narrow bat for hitting and bunting forces the batter to look intently at the ball at contact. To make bats to use with baseball and golf-size Wiffies, cut broomsticks or doweling to bat size and tape the handles. Use the thunderstick to hit or bunt Wiffles off a soft toss.
