>>> My son (10yo rt hander) did the fence drill all last summer and I think that is the reason his bat head lagged behind. He did hit the ball hard. Pulled some shots every now and then but hit to many rockets foul down the right field side. Could this be possible side effect from the fence drill? <<<

Hi

There are many interpretations of what the fence drill is supposed to accomplish. We could better advise you if we knew how the drill was taught and what you (or his coach) hoped your son would gain from the drill. Please gives us more details and I’m sure you will receive better advice.
