THE SKINNY BAT
Become A Better Hitter With ...

DRILLS
All drills with the skinny bat should be done with Golf Ball Wiffle Balls.

Soft Toss

The Drill: Stand about 3 feet in front of a tarp or net. Partnes is on one knee at 45 degree angle and tosses Golf Ball Wiffle Balls towards the hitter. The hitter hits thje balls at the tarp/net.

Focus: This helps the hitter develop the proper stroke. Since the bat is light (about half the normal bat weight), the bat control is optimal and the strength, power and confidence is heightened. The light bat also makes it possible to get many fundamentally correct repetitions in and not fatigue and develop bad habits. Not just more swings, more quality swings.

The Challenge: The barrel is very skinny and the balls are very small. If takes focus and concentration to make solid contact.





Hitting Tee

The Drill: Set the Wiffle Ball Golf Balls on the regular hitting tee. Work on inside, middle and outside pitches.

Focus: This allows the hitter to isolate hitting the ball backside, up the middle, and to pull the ball. It takes precise concentration to hit the small ball with the small bat.

The Challenge: The barrel is very skinny and the balls are very small. If takes focus and concentration to make solid contact.

Live Pitching

The Drill: Have someone sit about 15 feet in front of the hitter and throw pitches at the batter. The batter hits the ball.

Focus: This is a live game-like setting. The hitter must hit the ball where it is pitched and can get virtually 10 quality swings for every 1 swing with a regualr bat because the bat is light and the hitter does no fatigue and the balls do not go far and do not need to be chased after.

The Challenge: The barrel is very skinny and the balls are very small. If takes focus and concentration to make solid contact.



Bunting: Same as above for live pitching. To bunt a Wiffle Ball Golf Ball with The Skinny Bat TM is difficult and takes ultimate concentration.
