💲White Line Drill💲

1️⃣ Purpose of the Drill

• The white line drill helps hitters create space and maintain direction through the middle of the field. It emphasizes proper body positioning to maximize barrel direction and contact efficiency.

2️⃣ Setup

• Place the tee on the inner third of the plate to black/edge of the plate.

• Position yourself close to the white line.

3️⃣ Creating Space

• As you stride out, focus on creating enough space for your hands, arms, and barrel to work. Butt back & chest down.

• Proper space allows you to attack the inside part of the ball effectively, promoting true ball flight and staying up the middle.

4️⃣ Key Body Positions

• Get your butt back: Maintain a slight hip hinge to preserve space.

• Chest down: Keep your torso engaged and balanced over your center of mass.

5️⃣ Objective

• The goal is to maintain space and work the inside half of the ball, avoiding a “push” or “pull” swing that sacrifices direction and barrel accuracy.

• Aim for true ball flight to through the big part of the field.

🚫 Common Mistake

• Early hip extension (hips pushing forward too soon) can cause your hands to drift out.

• This often results in a “cast-out” barrel path, leading to weak contact, such as ground balls to the pull side.

• Frontside flying off too early.

• Rollovers & top-spin.

• Flares to the opposite field.
