Bat Speed Drill
Bat Speed Drill
Do this drill by performing dry swings through the air. You want to swing the bat as hard as you can and try and whip it back into swing position as quick as possible. Reset, then swing again. Be mindful of your swing mechanics/form.
Equipment Needed for the Exercise
3 Bats of different weights
1 Light Bat (Quick stick, broom handle)
1 Regular Weighted Bat (your game bat)
1 Heavy Bat (something heavier than normal by at least 5 oz. - weighted bat, regular bat with weight on it, power stick)
The ideal set up is 8 ounces lighter than your normal bat weight and 8 ounces heavier than your normal bat. If you don't have the exact weights it is not going to hurt, do the best that you can with what you have.
