Hitting
Angled Force Plate Tee - Back Foot
Instructions
• Tee set up in front of the middle of the plate
• Hitter sets up even with the plate, while partner places a ball on the tee
• Angled force plate is placed under the back foot
• Objective is to hit the ball back up the middle using a standard loading pattern and stride, while keeping the hitter’s body weight inside the back foot
• The angle of the force plate will prevent hitters from drifting backwards and losing their center of gravity
• Great drill for a hitter that leaks weight onto or outside of their back front during the loading phase
• Partners switch after 5 swings
