Instructions
- 1Take a full-speed approach identical to a hard swing.
- 2At the top of the swing, decelerate the wrist and roll the hand over the top of the ball.
- 3Place the shot into an open seam or short zone called out by the coach.
- 4Alternate full swings and roll shots randomly so the approach never tips the shot.
What to focus on
Approach speed and arm-up look stays identical to a full swing.
Common mistake
Slowing the approach before contact, tipping off the block.
