Softball Hitting Drills – Trigger-Stride

Purpose: To learn weight transfer, body control, timing, and to groove a compact swing for softball hitting.

Procedure: Set up in an area that has a screened net or batting tunnel, like a garage, basement, or yard. Set up in hitting stance in front of the net or tunnel, with a partner kneeling about 10 feet, just off your front knee. The feeder triggers your cocking action by dropping his hand just before flipping the ball.  Time a short, compact swing, hitting the ball to the appropriate field, depending on where the feeder flips it.
