One of the things that all hitters, whether they're young or old, are trying to do is to create some separation and trying to get to an attacking posture. This drill's goal is to help hitters create separation as the hitter strides forward.
One of the issues we have with a lot of hitters is that they create separation in their load or stride, but not as they're going forward. So this drill is called the Bow and Arrow drill.
In this drill, we're going to have our hitter set up, and they're going to start in launch position.
So they've already got their load and stride down; they start in that good launch position.
Here, they're going to take their bottom hand and go forward, create this bow and arrow look, and really focus on creating some scap load and some separation here.
This is what we call attacking posture. And they'll feel this right here in their scap. The hitter is then going to take it back and swing just from that position right there.
One of the things to make note of this drill is to make sure that the hitter doesn't reload. So let's show what reload would look like. So we'll start in that launch position. Get that arm out. Create that bow, get that good separation. And we do not want that hitter to reload when they swing.

Everything you need to know about The Hitting Vault, billing, and plan info. If you can’t find the answer your looking for, just reach out to our team.
The Hitting Vault is an elite hitting program taught by Professional Hitting Coach Matt Lisle. Many MLB, collegiate and youth players have trusted Coach Lisle to perfect their swing and he’s putting all of his principles, tips, drills and curriculum in one place, The Hitting Vault, and made them available for baseball and softball players at every level.
In one word, experience. Coach Lisle has created, studied, and developed this collection of drills because he knows first hand they they can turn a good hitter into a great hitter. The drills are smart and intuitive. Lisle goes in-depth on the philosophy and goals of each drill without being long or boring. This is the exact program that he teaches his MLB clients, but the drills are explained so they make sense to every level of hitter. Coach Lisle teaches these elite body movements and when an athlete repeats these movements, they are learning all the things necessary to reach your goals as a hitter.
This may be a surprise to some readers, but the path to learn and develop a powerful swing in baseball and softball are identical. Of course there is a difference in the approach in the batters box, situational hitting and pitch recognition. But, the way The Hitting Vault looks at it; an elite swing is an elite swing. The Hitting Vault gives equal time to both types of athletes. Nearly every drill in The Hitting Vault is demonstrated with a professional baseball and professional softball player.
