Re: Fouling straight back

> What common mechanical flaws cause a hitter to foul balls straight back? My son is slumping a bit and fouling balls straight back, some a long distance.

Sounds obvious, but he's swinging underneath the ball. Make sure he's not golfing it 1st. If his swing looks ok, make sure he's not pulling his head during the swing. Having him practice hitting a golf ball sized wiffle ball until he hits it squarely consistently may cure the problem and will force him to keep his head down throughout the swing.
