Hi Jack,I have been trying to find a drill or cue other than the bag to focus on to stop the hitter from going out to get the ball.So Icame up with an idea and thought I would throw it out for criticism or adjustment.it is only a cue or image idea but draw a line from about 3" in front of the plate on an inside corner to a point about 1/2 way back between the 2 corners on the outside corner of the plate.Now have the hitter imagine a wall their going up 6',if the ball is struck at or behind the wall the bat can pass thru unobstructed but if contact is made in front of the line then the bat will crash into the wall.I'm just trying to get them a mental image somehow to hit the ball further back.
