The 50/50 PVC Pipe Turn Drill is all about path and connection. For this drill you will need a piece of PVC pipe about 5ft long, but it can be shortened for shorter or younger players. Using a piece of PVC, allows you to expose the exact path of the barrel and the connection point.
This drill helps teach hitters to keep their bat on plane through the zone creating adjustability and more opportunities to make contact with the ball.
