RECOIL SWING DRILL
What this drill helps fix
Helps you keep good posture and maintain good direction throughout the swing.
Coach Steve cue
Take your regular game swing. But instead of holding your follow-through, whip the bat back to the position it was in before you swung.
Why fixing this matters
Many hitters tend to pull off or fly out, which leads to a poor bat path and weak contact. This drill helps prevent your body from over-rotating, so you can stay through the ball more consistently and create firmer contact.
