Here are some great softball hitting drills for you to use which will improve your performance with the bat:
Drill 1 - Barrier Behind
Purpose: To emphasize taking the hands directly to the ball and keeping the barrel up.
Procedure: The batter's rear foot is parallel to the side of a batting cage and in contact with the net. The batter swings by taking her hands to the ball and keeping the bat barrel up. The bat should not touch the barrier on the swing.
Drill 2 - Look at Pitcher, Then Hit
Purpose: To practice refocusing from the pitcher to the point of contact.
Procedure: The batter at a T looks out at an imaginary pitcher and then refocuses on the T and takes a normal swing.
Drill 3 - Drop Toss
Purpose: To develop hand speed to the ball.
Procedure: The batter assumes her stance with a partner facing her with the ball held at should height. The batter tells the partner when to drop the ball. The partner releases the ball and pulls her arm up away from the strike zone. The batter takes a full swing. Read more.
