7-Day Slow-Pitch Line-Drive Challenge
Pop-ups and grounders in slow-pitch are usually a swing-path and timing mismatch with the high arc. This challenge grooves a slightly upward, on-time path that produces line drives.
The promise: By day 7 you should be squaring up more line drives and topping fewer balls.
