Can You Substitute a Swiss Ball for a Basketball as a Through Tee Drill??

Swiss Ball
I’m working with My 7 year old on creating a better follow through and I read your drills for helping that. I didn’t have a soccer ball or basketball so I took a large Swiss exercise ball and let him hit that. It seems to me to be same just a bit heavier, it makes him hit hard and follow through to move it. Also something to do in the basement when it rains...any thoughts?
Swing Smarter Response:
Thanks Ivan for your comment and an awesome idea I never thought of. If we don't have an old soccer ball or preferably a basketball, then a Swiss Ball will do just fine. It may even work out better, you'd have to get a heavy duty one though for more advanced hitters because they aren't built to be heavily abused with a bat ;)
That's why basketballs are so good, they're made to take a beating. But you're on the right track Ivan! Keep up the good work...

P.S. Wondering which baseball hitting aids are worth their weight in gold? Frustrated scowering the internet for over-hyped highly endorsed swing gadgets NOT doing a darn thing for your swing?
Swing Smarter and FOWL Ball's The Starting Lineup store is just what the baseball world is looking for...it's where we can find the "9 best baseball hitting aids on the planet."
It takes a lot for a hitting gadget to crack The Starting Lineup, because there are only 9 spots available.
Unfortunately, they aren't cheap AND some require a hefty investment...however, everyone knows we get what we pay for. If we purchase cheap baseball hitting aids, then we'll get cheap results; and if we're a seeker of non-quality non-functional products, then we'd highly recommend NOT visiting The Best Starting 9 today. Junk in, means junk out.
