Feet Together Drill

This is my favorite tee drill. I like it for several reasons. First, since my last blog was on lower body mechanics, the momentum created by the elongated stride will help the hips pull the foot onto the toe. This ensures that the hips are turning my lower body instead of the foot (for the players that are still "squishing the bug") Next, this drill creates correct synchronization and torque because the hands go back as the stride goes forward. To add, I will soon blog about the "pace" of the set-up. This drill helps control the tempo of the body during the stride.
