Question
What are three effective hitting drills for slo-pitch power?
Last updated: December 16, 2025
Answer
- Heavy Ball Drill: Use a slightly weighted ball (like a soft plyo ball) for soft toss to develop strength and drive through the contact zone.
- Fence Drill: Stand a few inches from a fence and take swings, forcing your hands to stay "inside the ball" and preventing casting (throwing your hands away from your body).
- Extension Tee Work: Place the tee slightly higher and farther out than usual, practicing driving the ball with full extension through the point of contact to maximize power.
