FENCES
The player stands with a
bat facing a fence. He should then take the bat and put the end against
the fence lightly. The end of the handle should make slight contact with
the player's mid-section. He can now take his normal batting stance at
that distance from the fence and take about ten or fifteen swings. If the
bat is making more than light contact with the fence, the batter is not
bringing his hands through first, which he should be. To get a player to
bring his hands first, have him take his normal step as if to swing, only
have him "throw" the end of the handle of the handle towards the ball.
If he continues to do this, it will increase his bat speed and he will
probably hit the ball harder.
