Power V Drill
Stop-at-contact tee drill that teaches hitters to extend through the ball. Catches over-rotation and pulling off in real time by freezing the swing at the moment of contact.
High Tee Drill
Sets the tee high and inside (almost a ball off the plate) to force a tight turn and inside-the-ball barrel path. Trains hitters to handle the up-and-in fastball that pitchers throw to beat barrel-dump swings.
Tee Time
Batters work on hitting line drives off a tee in pairs, focusing on controlled, level swings without the pressure of pitch recognition.
