ELBOW

(TAKING THE BAT TO CONTACT POINT)

SIDEWAYS KARATE CHOP — 1

Batting Stance with top hand positioned where the bat would be held (hand is open).  Bottom hand (which is not part of the drill) on front hip. 

While Switching Heels, make a karate chop action sideways.  The top-hand elbow, which remains bent, moves  straight forward alongside the torso and the top-hand ‘chops’ with the palm facing up.  The action stops  when the top hand is about even with the front foot.
