Hand Path - Whip Drill

I like this drill for several of reasons. First, it teaches the hitter the proper position of the hands at launch. To get the hands in a position to whip, the hand will get about as far back as the rear elbow. Next, this is a good connection drill that will help the athlete use the body with good synchronization. The lower body beginning rotation will slot the back elbow and synch up the body. This is the only way to get maximum output from the swing. Finally, this is a good way to get the hitter to feel extension out in front.

This is a good drill to do with hitters in a big group, because several can throw at the same time into the side of a cage. Just watch to make sure their path is correct (similar to throwing side arm).
