Building a Wooden Practice Horse

In my opinion, the best way to fine-tune your swing is on a wooden horse in a hitting cage or pit. This allows you to reproduce the exact same situation over and over again without worrying about your approach to the ball, the lay of the ball, horse fatigue, or anything else. You are allowed to focus exclusively on your swing. Practicing like this will help to get the correct swing mechanics locked into “muscle memory” so when you’re on the field you can focus more on tactics and less on swing mechanics.
