We did this with my DD thanks to SL suggestion about a year ago. That bucket comes in handy when it snows too...I put it in my trunk to weigh it down We did eventually go back to a "no-stride" approach which is working fantastic.
Multiuse bucket
When you dont use the bucket, I have a couple of boxes of playground chalk. I draw lines parrallel to the plate.
After they swing they can look down to see how they are doing with not stepping outward.
Tip on giving lessons
Even though I teach a stride swing, my daughter choose to hit with an early step out (pre stride) attack mode swing, starting her junior year in highschool, which turned her swing into a no stride swing (kinda)
I adapted to what she liked more.
She broke the school record for single season RBI's her senior year with 49, and that was missing 5 games with rain outs.
So it is not an absolute to have a stride swing....
