2 Tee Hitting Drill
How do we train hitters to work out and through the ball and not around our body?
In this drill, Chris will show you how to use 2 tees to train your body to work down and through the baseball/softball. When your hips open, your hands have to work out and through the baseball/softball and not around your body.
Items needed for this drill
- Net or Field To Hit Into
- 2 Batting Tees
- Bat
- Bucket of Baseball/Softballs
The 2 tee drill is a very easy and self explanatory drill. You will set up 2 tees, with each one being back to front. You will put the baseball/softball on the tee closest to home plate. Make sure that the tees are about 8 inches or so apart from each other.
Get in your normal batting stance and when you swing, you will make contact with the baseball/softball and your bat barrel will continue through and make contact with the second tee that does not have a baseball/softball on it.
If you do not make contact with the second tee then you will know that your barrel did not continue through the ball and you will have “pulled off” on your swing.
This is an easy drill for a player to do by themselves, as they get instant feedback on your swing path. This drill will train the hitters body to stay on the ball and not pull of during the finish of their swing.

“The net is excellent! My boys haven't quit practicing since we received it! Thank you! ”

“...I enjoyed the easy ordering process; it arrived expediently as well. Set up/take down is less than a minute (which is great when you're backed up on practice fields' schedules). I use it for tee work, of course; but I have used it for everything from outfielders hitting cutoffs to infielders throwing accuracy to pitchers working on pickoffs and starting double plays... ”

“I purchased your net with tee for my 12-year-old daughter. She plays travel softball and her coach has one similar. It's a quality product, easy up and down, storage bag is great for transporting too, even the tee fits in it. .. ”
