Hitting
Reverse Stride
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
• Hitter stands with feet closer together and strides backwards
• Tee placement is extremely important. Tee needs to be in position to hit after batter strides backwards
• Focus should be on hitting the ball up the middle and generating energy through the backside using ground reaction force
• Perfect for hitters that are learning how to use ground reaction force or lack rhythm in their swing
• Partners switch after 5 swings
