The ROPE BAT® HITTING COURSE
The High Tee Drill
The High Tee DrillThe High Tee Drill
The high-tee drill is an excellent drill because the position of the ball -- simulating a high pitch -- presents a challenge to the hitter. Unlike a pitch right down the middle and "belt" high, the high pitch requires greater control of one's mechanics and heightened barrel control. Practicing this consistently within a routine will make you a better hitter.
The One Hand Drill Set
The One Hand Drill Set
This is a great "isolation" drill where a hitter has a reduced margin of error, forcing the hitter to focus on the hand path of both the top hand and bottom hand separately. This will enable the hitter to deliberately work on each hand, and more importantly aim to improve the weaker hand. If you can make consistent contact with each hand individually, you'll definitely be powerful and precise when it comes to executing the two-handed swing (normal attack).
The Coil-45 Drill
The Coil-45 Drill
This drill activates the hitter's core and enables them to feel a better connection between the arms, legs, and core to support and guide the hands to the ball. Having proper sequencing is important and this drill will help to expose and improve your sequencing with practice.
The Opposite Field Drill
The Opposite Field Drill
Hitting the outside pitch well is an important aspect of every hitter's approach. The path one takes to effectively hit the outside pitch can also help the hitter to feel a better sense of "staying closed" which is important for hitters who pull off the ball or have too much of a rotational swing.
The Step Back Drill
The Step Back Drill
This drill is going to induce balance within the hitter. By adding a little movement with the lower body, it's going to activate the mid-section of the hitter and enable them to feel greater sequencing, and faster whip with the bat head.
The Step Across Drill
The Step Across Drill
This drill helps hitters combat the tendency to pull off the ball and rotate too early by getting them to keep energy channeled toward home plate via the accentuation -- stepping across immediately after the swing. This will inevitably keep the hitter in the zone longer.
The Bear Claw Drill
The Bear Claw Drill
Aligning the hitter's body movements effectively is essential for any hitter. With this drill, the hitter can feel a greater degree of connection (i.e., maintaining the correct angles and movements with their arms and upper body). This drill will force the hitter to practice good habits, and will expose any over or under-active aspects of their upper body during the swing.
The Load, Step & Pause Drill
The Load, Step & Pause Drill
This drill is great for teaching balance, and helping the hitter to feel their sequencing in an accentuated manner. Plus, by slightly isolating each movement within this drill, one can easily identify flaws that may not be totally evident when practicing a full speed swing.
The Head Down Drill
The Head Down Drill
This is a very fundamental drill that teaches one of the most critical aspects of the game: keeping your eye on the ball. This is a simple task, but sometimes gets lost in the complexity and speed of the game. Most effectively incorporated into a warm up routine, this drill helps practice a simple and straightforward, but very important skill.
The Around The World Drill
The Around The World Drill
This drill helps the hitter practice many essential skills. Principally, this drill forces the hitter to have a greater degree of barrel control, maintain exceptional mechanics, and focus on the basic movements and bat path required to hit a pitch at multiple locations. Additionally, this could be a great training method between teammates or a small group looking to challenge themselves and compete with each other and against themselves.
The Palm Switch Drill
The Palm Switch Drill
This drill is aimed at forcing the top hand to be stronger and more active within the swing, allowing the hitter to feel proper positioning with the shoulder during the swing.
