The hands in the swing are somewhat of a guide to the ball.  Many hitters struggle to feel the right move because they are punching or pushing their hands to the ball. 

Every time a hitter punches or pushes with the flat bat their bat path becomes compromised and weak or no contact will happen.  The goal is to focus on a smooth turn behind the turn giving hitters a slight uphill swing to help maximize hard-hit ball and power.

Oftentimes swing direction is lacking due to incorrect posture and sequencing of the swing.  With the flat bat and these simple side toss variations, it can help hitters feel the correct movement of the body and bat. 

Putting the hitter in situations where they have to adjust and make changes is truly when they will reach their potential.

Sometimes taking a step back and slowing things down can really help a hitter.  If there are any spastic moves or lack of fluidity the hitter will struggle. 

The goal is to take smooth controlled swings feeling the path and barrelling the ball each swing.  If your hitter only uses their upper body their swing will be slow and poor contact will be made.
