Softball Infield Drills- Backhand Drill

This backhand drill helps emphasize bending in your knees, keeping your eyes behind the ball, and having soft hands with some bend in your elbow.
-To ensure you’re bending in your knees and keeping your eyes behind the ball, you have to see the ball all the way into your flat glove or barehand. If you come up too soon, the ball will go right under your hand.
-Having soft hands is critical on a backhand. This drill tells us if we are stabbing at a ball or locked out at the elbow because the ball will go flying away from us. If the ball dies right in front of you, you’ve done the drill correctly.

How do you get them to not pull their heads out?
