Drill: Quick Hands

This drill helps shorten the swing and focuses on trying to quicken the hands. Have your legs shoulder width apart, and just throw your hands at the ball using NO legs. (Note: this drill is not about swing mechanics and focuses on only getting the bat through the zone)

That's how virtually all mechanics coaches tech people how to swing the ball. Some might tell players to turn there hips, but at the end of the day all there doing is swinging with their arms. Go to a high school game and see how little power most of the hitters have.

Bad drill. You don't to get in to any bad habits with muscle memory. It'll mess up you're entire swing and timing.

That's how not to hot a ball

I do not like that one bit and would not use it.

Not turning isn't even the problem here. Striding is sometimes a good thing to do, when you move your head, drop your hands, overstride, or lead with your back elbow(goes pretty much hand in hand with dropping your hands)

"This drill is not about mechanics, it focuses on getting the bat through the zone"

GOOD MECHANICS, GET THE BAT THROUGH THE ZONE THE MOST EFFICIENTLY. Throwing your hands at the ball, limits your circular hand path, without that, your batspeed and hand path will be terrible.
