Discussion: hitting drills

Does anyone know of any drills that will help you keep your head in and stay on the ball longer ive been pulling out towards third base alot lately and hitting balls on the end of the bat
i have one that works for me that i was told about when i was in little league back in the early 70's " grab you shirt with your teeth at the seam where the sleeve joins the body of the shirt ,start your swing you will know when to release -start slowly to get used to it, sounds crazy but it works for me and a few others who have tried it
(http://sliacademy.com/) Nobody better
Hitting off a T has helped me greatly. Plus you can position the Tee around the plate to pull or go to the opposite field. Having someone soft toss for you also helps. Recently I bought an Easton T10 Thunderstick and a dozen SKLZ heavy duty impact balls. I still use the Tee, but with a heavier/narrow "bat" and smaller balls, it requires more head on the ball swings. Years ago, I had a towel cut and stiched to the mats dimension and keep it in my bag. Works great for team or individual BP. The Tee I use is the SKLZ travel DLX Tee. Fits in one of the bat sleaves. Good luck.
Opposite field can be your friend. During BP concentrating on driving singles to the opposite field makes you keep your head in there-you can't go that way pulling your head. SLI academy is excellent to help also!!
