3 Tips on How to Become a Better Hitter

There are so many techniques and fundamentals that go into hitting. When doing batting practice, always be sure to stick to those fundamentals because it is very easy to develop bad habits.

Hitting practice should always be done in progressions.

1. Start with a tee drill, this will allow hitters to warm up and focus on specific aspects of the swing.
2. After the tee drill, move on to tosses.
3. Once tosses are feeling good, that is when it is time to take it live.

Live pitching must be a progression working up to full speed movement and swing. One thing to remember about batting practice is “have quality hitting practice with reps that matter. Quality not quantity” says Nike Softball Camp director and Fairfield University Head Coach Julie Brzezinksi.

Quality reps vs. quantity reps is so important. Developing bad habits can be damaging to your swing. Be sure yto maintain your technical swing this summer! For dates and locations visit Nike Softball Camps.
