Foot Strike Drill
What this drill helps fix
Helps you land your front foot, start turning your hips, and let your chest and hands follow.
Coach Steve cue
Land your heel, turn your hips, then let your chest bring your hands.
Why fixing this matters
Using your body in that order helps you create bat speed without starting with an arm-only swing.
