Here are some great softball hitting that that can increase your performance at the plate.

1.Softball is a game of failures. Even the best hitters make outs 3 out of 10 times! Realizing this is an important part of being a softball player.

2. No matter where you start the bat, all good hitters get into the launch position. The launch position is the position your body is in when your front foot lands after the stride. The bat should be 4-6 inches from your shoulder at about a 45 degree angle. The hands are back and the weight is distributed about 75% to the rear side. Consult a professional about the launch position for further clarification. It is one of the most important things to think about in hitting!

3. Hit behind the runner. The ability to hit the ball on the ground to the right side of the infield with runners on second or third is invaluable. When hitting behind the runner, you are trading an out for a run. To hit behind the runner, you must keep your hands inside the ball, delay the swing, and make sure that the bat head is above the flight of the pitch.
