usefulness of tee work in rotational hitting mechanics?

Posted by: Joe (joe.flowers@nofreewill.com) on Sun Mar 20 07:01:21 2011

It looks like tee work probably has limited usefulness with rotational hitting mechanics because for a low pitch (a low tee), the proper rotational swing would require the batter to hit the neck of the tee as well as the ball. So, instead of reinforcing rotational mechanics the low tee has a negative effect because batters' naturally try not to knock the tee over.

Anyone else found this to be the case?

Thanks!
