Hitting off a T has helped me greatly. Plus you can position the Tee around the plate to pull or go to the opposite field. Having someone soft toss for you also helps. Recently I bought an Easton T10 Thunderstick and a dozen SKLZ heavy duty impact balls. I still use the Tee, but with a heavier/narrow "bat" and smaller balls, it requires more head on the ball swings. Years ago, I had a towel cut and stiched to the mats dimension and keep it in my bag. Works great for team or individual BP. The Tee I use is the SKLZ travel DLX Tee. Fits in one of the bat sleaves. Good luck.

Opposite field can be your friend. During BP concentrating on driving singles to the opposite field makes you keep your head in there-you can't go that way pulling your head. SLI academy is excellent to help also!!
