3 tips to develop a level swing
Making sure you have a level swing can sometimes be difficult in the middle of the at bat. One helpful drill to ensure the perfect level bat is the rope and ball drill. With a simple rope, string it through a wiffle ball. Tie one end to a tree or post, and the other end to another tree. The rope should be at the level of a perfect strike. With your bat follow these simple steps.
- Position your batting stance with the wiffle ball out near your front hip
- Go slowly and get to the plane of the ball
- Once at the plane, push out on the wiffle ball and finish through
This drill should be repeated 20 times and performed slowly. Daily work with this drill will help softball players level out their swing immensely.
