Wait a minute...basketballs? Volleyballs? Really? Never have heard of such a drill. Doesn't seem right to me for mechanics or the health of young girls.
It would appear then it was hi-jacked to promote a college or camp.
This is why I believe in WSU clinics and know Coach B and his staff have the answers or will get you an answer...this is why they help us out at our clinics when they can.
Doesn't matter what clinic you go to or what you they should or shouldnt be teaching.Not everyone goes about teaching the mechanics of swinging the same you get what you want out of it and toss everything else to the side.We have gone to many hitting Clinics ,Coaches and so on and so forth but we extract what we can use.Strengthening Drills,Speed Drills,Eye drills,Hand and eye coordination drills and then we move on, thank them for the info .Did we like everything we learned?? No..but there were things we took from them and if all seems repetitive then you know she is getting much needed reinforcement from someone other then yourself.
Northwestern "TWO DAY" Clinic in Chicago last weekend was SUPERB! Recommend to ANYONE for next year. Lauren Lappin(Gold Medalist) as Catchers Coach, Drohan Sisters as Head and Hitting Coaches, and various NU Studdettes past and present on hand to help. Tons of instruction, mental approaches, with lots of hands on for each attendee. 10 Coaches, 9 Players working with about 100 players. Indiana and MSU Coaches were on hand helping also.
Already signed up for next year. Watching Nicole Pauly & Tammy hit was worth the price of admission. And yes, the Caryl Drohan(Hitting Coach) has her method, but also leverages each hitters NATURAL tendancies to NOT MESS with what's not broke.

There are different types of hitting techniques or methods being taught so if someone knows what they are teaching at those camps/ clinics and it helps you make a more informed decision that helps you as a consumer.
