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.
