46/60 HITTING GAME

Line Drive Swing!

The ball comes in on a slant. Slide your swing to match it, then swing. Match it and it’s a line drive!

Line Drive Swing!

Slide your swing to match the ball, then tap Swing.

Parent questions

What does this teach?

That a good swing travels on the same path as the ball. Matching it makes line drives instead of pop-ups and grounders.

How do we practice it?

Hit off a tee and try to hit the back of the net in the middle, not the top or the ground.

Is it free and safe?

Yes. No sign-up, nothing is shared, and scores stay on your device.

FOR PARENTS & COACHES

What it trains

How to help at home

  • Praise line drives over high fly balls.
  • Use a line-drive target in the net during tee work.
