Instant Feedback Drill

Needed: JUGS Toss Machine or Hitting Tee, Bucket of Poly or Lite-Flite Balls.

Step 1

Using either the Toss Machine or Hitting Tee with Poly Balls or Lite-Flite Balls the hitter will attempt to hit the ball to the correct location on the field determined by the location of the toss or tee, in the strike zone.

*Note-Feedback when hitting JUGS Lite-Flite Balls and JUGS Poly Balls is instantaneous. Because they are lighter than standard balls they accentuate spin direction. If not hit correctly they will not travel very far. If hit correctly the distance that the JUGS Lite-Flite Balls and JUGS Poly Balls travel makes it obvious. If you hit underneath it you will get backspin. If you hit on top of it you will get topspin. If you take your hands too quick inside the ball it will have inside out spin. If you go around the ball it will spin outside in. When you hit it correctly it comes off the bat as a knuckleball.

This is a drill that needs very little space and a player can do alone.
