Swing Path TrainerWhen a softball batter steps up to the plate, they need their swing to be at its absolute best to make precise and heavy contact and blast balls into the outfield and beyond. One of the most important, but overlooked, parts of a softball batters swing is the path. A correct swing path keeps the bat in the hitting zone longer, which increases the opportunity for strong contact. An inconsistent swing path can cause strikeouts and weak contact.
