HITTING: HAND POSITION FOR HITTING TIP
I explain and demonstrate to my players that the top hand pretty much controls your swing. If the palm faces up on the swing, chances are you'll under-cut the ball or hit a fly ball. If the palm faces down on the swing, chances are you hit down in front of you and the ball dribbles. And if you sweep or shake hands with the pitcher on the swing, chances are you hit a line drive.
The girls seem to have a good understanding and really respond well. I hope this is a good tip that you'll share.
