LASER STRAP DRILL TYPE: LASER WHIP

PART 1: STANDARD LASER WHIP
RESISTANCE LEVEL: MEDIUM
WORKS FOR ALL SWING METHODS, SIMPLE TO USE WITH ANY DRILL

- Improve “sitting-on-your-pitch,” or “guess-hitting.”
- Hitting in “aggressive swing batting counts,” for example, 3 balls and 1 strike.
- Hitting mistake pitches for power, for example, a “hanging” slider.

PART 2: TOP-HAND RELEASE LASER WHIP
RESISTANCE SETTING: MEDIUM
SWING ADJUSTMENT: Release the top/trail-hand on your swing follow through
- Isolating, and improving your bottom/lead-hand hand strength, and mechanics.
- Hitting “low-and-outside” pitches, for example, a “hard-late-breaking” slider.
- Hitting “low-and-in-front” pitches, for example, a low change-up, or “low-and-inside” slider.
- Improves 2-strike hitting.
- Balancing the power of your swing, useful for top/trail hand dominant hitters, for example, right-hit/right-throw; bottom hand mechanics are critical for hitting low, and extended pitch locations.
