Hi Mike
You are the only person who directlly answered the question and gave him (her?)a drill. However throwing the hands at the ball is not how the best baseballers and softballers actually hit.That particular cue is detrimental to achieving a good and consistant swing.

Your either messing with me or you haven't read up on the mechanics section of this site, a lot of good information

With respect
