I understand the Barry Bonds drill involves hitting off machine pitched balls and moving closer each time the hitter has success. Not sure why you referred to this drill unless you think of the Bonds drill in another way.
Making this "soft focus" drill reflect real hitting as much as possible by the balls coming at the hitter from the same angle a pitched ball would come from. IE the hitter looking left (RH hitter) instead of looking forward(soft toss style).
TR ... do you have any video of this version of the Barry Bonds drill being performed?
Virtually every time I've seen this drill performed the mechanics of the swing broke down considerably ... I've even seen hitters with a healthy swing induced into using a poor OTT type swing ... which may be why video of the drill is scarce. If you have video of it then please post it.
