Tip: The Hitting Vault has over 250+ Drills in our Online Membership.
Many hitters don't understand how to keep their hip hinge throughout their swing, and instead they start to stand up after their front heel hits.
So the Pillar Turn Drill is going to be really helpful for hitters to understand the hip hinge they should have in their swing, as well as understand the proper sequence of their body as they go towards the ball.
The only equipment that you really need for this drill is some kind of pole or you could use the side of a net, and the hitter is going to start in their launch position.
The hitters feet should be nice and wide. Their hands are going to be across their body holding on to their shoulders with their elbows down. Then they're going to go through the sequence and movements of the swing.
So the first move is going to be side bending, working the front shoulder up and the back shoulder down as the hips open up. Then the hitter should turn from there and go all the way around.
When this drill is done correctly, you're going to see that the pole moves from the middle of the hitter's body, then to the side. The hitter should stay attached to it. The idea is they're keeping their lower half attached to the pole as they turn all the way through, make sure that their hands stay down versus the elbows coming up. The front shoulder works up, back shoulder works down and then do a full turn and make sure that they're not disconnecting their hip from the pole.

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.
