Callaway:

A couple drills to help him hit further back in the hitting zone:

1. Side soft toss....rather than tossing the ball for him to hit out in front, toss toward his front hip.....then when he can handle that correctly, toss toward his blet buckle, then for a more extreme contact even further back in the zone, toss toward his back hip....of course you may have to move to avoid him hitting the ball into you, if he is hitting it properly....

2. with him standing at the plate, you move your BP throwing position from the pitcher's mound toward the first base line (if he is swinging right-handed), perhaps half-way to the first base line.....he remains in the batters box as if you are on the mound.......you pitch the ball and make him hit the ball back toward you, thus having to hit the ball further back in the hitting zone....remember that he must keep his regular positioning in the batter's box.

Thank you for the drills. We will try them on Wednesday. I'll let you know how it goes.

The boy is growing again! It is "ticking off" his brother. Connor is almost 6'2" but Boomer tells him that he has bigger legs and broader shoulders!

Boomer is just thick. He tackled me the other day while we were picking up balls in the outfield and I thought that I was hit by a truck! Geez, I'm 6'1" and 225 and it hurt!
