Olsen Drill
What this drill helps fix
Stiff, hand-dominant swings where the hands fire too early, causing poor rhythm, limited hip-to-shoulder separation, and disconnected swing sequencing.
Coach Steve cue
Stay loose. Find your rhythm. Create separation. Let your body lead and your hands follow
Why fixing this matters
When the hands take over too early, hitters lose the ability to efficiently transfer energy from their lower body to the barrel. This drill teaches rhythm, separation, and proper sequencing so the hips and torso can initiate rotation while the hands stay connected. The result is a more fluid, powerful, and repeatable swing.
