Well that drill was certainly helpful to me, Orlando! I'll have my son give it a try.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Hi,
> > I was hoping someone could help me with my 7 year old son's swing. Over 50% of the time, he hits the ball and "tops it" where it hits the ground a few feet in front of the plate. A lot of the times, it's a hard hit ball, but hitting the ground so soon takes a lot off of it. He used to hit the ball so well from a very early age, but now he's struggling and I'd really like to help him get it back.

Also circle the right & left side and practice hitting these area. This will show the hitter what the ball will do when its hit on those location. NOTE: On all of this drill, the key point is to keep the eyes on the ball. May be strong, may have the perfect swing, and may have the fastest swing, but if you can’t see the ball nothing else matter.
