Short Game - Drop Step Lesson

Like anything else in fastpitch, if the very first move you make in a particular motion isn't correct, then the entire motion will break down and be incorrect. In this lesson I use Natahsa Watley as an example from Right View Pro to show the details of how to take a proper drop step.

I really feel the short game is used by a lot of ball players, but it is really not taught well, just due to lack of information. Check out the video, and you can see how the elements of a good bunt or slap start from the drop step. It is much more difficult than just picking up your front foot and stepping back. Most hitters are either out by a step or safe by a step depending on how well their drop step is executed. Need short game training? We have instructors who can help!
