Drill of the Week presented by ChampionshipFastpitch.com

Title: Timing Drill

Type: Individual Hitting 

Time: Varies


This drill will help your players adjust to different speeds,
maintain balance, and drive change-ups.

In order to do this drill you will need the following:

A. Balls of Different Weights.
B. Pitching Screen

We use all sorts of different balls for this drill: tennis balls,
whiffle balls, sponge balls, regular balls, foam balls

The balls are all mixed together in a bucket or bag, and tossed
in a random order. A coach stands behind a screen and throws
front toss to a hitter standing 15-20' in front of the screen.
The different shapes and, more importantly, weights of the balls
will keep your hitter disciplined with her weight if she plans
on having consistent success with the drill. 

Tip: If you have a limited budget, try stuffing a few of your
whiffle balls with plastic sacks that you get at the grocery
store - this adds weight to the whiffle ball.
