Hey, what's going on guys? I got another great hitting drill for you today and it's called
The Wall Hitting Drill. All we're going to do in this hitting drill is very similar to
The Wall Pitching Drill or the Net Drill that I've got on my website.
You're going to stand close to a wall when you're taking your swing. Now, what happens
is, if you don't gain enough ground off your back leg going forward, what's going to happen
is you're going to hit that wall with your bat. Okay? Now, what I don't want to see is
guys taking this swing from here and cutting it off short. Okay? That defeats the purpose
of the drill. What I want you to focus on is having a good swing plane so that you're
getting your bat into a good position and swinging through, but getting enough momentum
while gaining enough ground away from that wall so that you're not hitting it with the
bat.
So, it looks a little something like this. I just like to get onto it where my elbow
is touching on the back side. So, my elbow's touching right here and I've gained some ground
going forward. It didn't touch. The main thing you want to focus on in this hitting drill
is having the correct mechanics. You don't want to change anything because the wall is
back there. You want to get into a good swing plane, drive on through that ball, but gaining
some momentum away from that wall.
